Abomination Vaults – Session 8
- The party returns to Gauntlight ruins after resting/refreshing in Otari
- They explore what looks like the remains of heavily decayed office and private study. Within they find:
- Stairs leading down to a deeper level
- In the remains of a desk:
- lesser comprehension elixir
- minor elixir of life
- lesser skeptics elixir
- 2 bronze keys
- A secret passage that leads to the east
- The group explores the secret passage east and uncovers a temple dedicated to some old, strange god
- a skeleton is found on the outside of the secret passage . On the body they find:
- +1 scimitar
- 4 daggers
- silver ring worth 5gp
- minor healing potion
- There’s an alter to the north…
- But the party decides to explore the double doors to the south
- Beyond the doors they find a room with
- Door carved with skulls and a tangle of moss (presumably related to the old god being worshipped in temple)
- A giant scorpion!
- A tough battle ensues, but the party overcomes the bug; but not without one them getting knocked unconscious
- They return to the alter to the north and find 2 more skeletons that reanimate with an eerie blue glow… corpse lights! A tough battle against what looked like just a couple of simple skeletons takes place.
- In the alter they find
- scroll of restore senses
- 1st level wand of heal
- The group then returns to the weirdly pristine light house tower to investigate the upper floors.
- They use one of the bronze keys found earlier to unlock access to the Gauntlight copula
- Aside from a weird blue light there is nothing here… during the day
- They head down to the odd, persistent puddle of Belcorra-blood at the base of the lighthouse and wait for evening
- At night the blood comes alive into an angry, scream haunt of Belcorra that spins and bathes the party in decaying blue light
- After several attempting to damage the haunt through weapons (or soak up the blood using a bedroll) Lunasan is able to draw on her cleric know-how and exorcises the haunt (again one of the party goes down before defeating the haunt)
- The haunt dissipates… but something thumps up above in the previously empty copula above…
- XP
