Episode 2.9

Greg, Ernie, Brad, Kathy, Tony

After spending a few days helping reinforce the former Troglodyte Lair, the party went out in search of the missing intact triangle. They talked to the valley resident that had seen it before and got what little directions they could from him. They searched for most of a day but eventually found a large cavern with an intact triangle, but the cave had a sole occupant – a human sized construct that wielded a two bladed sword. Brad and Greg tried to talk to the construct, but all it would do was warn them away. They decided to avoid a fight and left it alone. They traveled back to the lair and convinced the Dwarf to go with them. The construct became obedient to the dwarf and volunteered some information.

• He has been here since the dwarves left.
• The triangle is a gate that leads to another place, though he does not know where it goes.
• The triangle can be activated by using three icons.
• The party already has two of the icons.
• He has been mostly undisturbed though lately lots of undead have wandered into the cave.

The group used this information then went back to the lair s Ernie could cast Divination. He had a vision of a desecrated dwarven tomb. They had the wolf use his scent ability to lead them to the source of the undead. They found a dwarven tomb guarded by two tall skeletal figures, that were standing behind a pit. Ernie could sense a desecration spell in the area and cast consecrate near the two figures. Kathy hasted everyone. Brad, Greg and Tony ran around the side of the pit. The two creatures had skewering fingers that extended out, giving them a 20’ reach. Brad Greg and Tony all suffered attacks of opportunity as they trie dto approach the two creatures. Meanwhile, Ernie used his turn undead ability and destroyed one creature. Kathy hit the other with her wand. Greg made it all the way to the remaining creature and hit it with his massive psionic weapon attack. Brad also reached it and added to the damage. It tried to retreat and attack but was unsuccessful. Ernie used his turn undead ability again and destroyed it.

Quickly moving on before the haste expired, the party found the open tomb doors and wnet inside. There they found a large magically lit room filled with broken furniture, open stone tombs and at least a dozen hostile wights. A fast and furious melee erupted. Kathy made Tony invisible. Brad and Greg charged into the fray. Ernie turned undead. Kathy let loose a fireball, which damage all the wights. What Brad Greg, and Tony didn’t cut to pieces, Ernie destroyed with his turning.

Quickly moving on, Tony opened the door to the next part of the tomb and discovered a hallway of black tile, with magical torches and several side passages. Looking around a corner, he saw a ghostly dwarf figure that stood up and charged toward him.
