• Rotting corpse Chamber: corpses stacked up to the ceiling. Something chewed its way through 1 of the corpses. Flies and carrion fill the chamber. Path leads to the right (Wider area) and one to the left. Center of chamber contain corpses who are wearing robes (better quality clothing).
  • As exploring, Minion looses it and attacks Gathar. Then cadavars reveal themselves to be a Living Wall which attempts to eat Brock and Rada. Killed.
• Double doors (Magical effect on door, 0-3, activates when opening door) Rada manages to open the doorway. Stairway down about 10 steps opening into large chamber.
• Large Chamber: stairs lead down to center of chamber (either side has rows of crack pews). Far side of chamber has a set of marble steps that lead to an enormous statue of a fly (over 6ft tall, likely used to hold sacrifices as they cook). Hear screams coming from a firepit before the statue.
  • 3 individuals (2 men & a woman) are stoking the flames, dont appear to have noticed the group. Surprised trio of clerics, but Fly statue turned out to be iron golem (acts desecrated altar) anbd attacked us. Dealt with clerics, summoned burning skeletons and the iron golem. Destroying the golem removed the aura of desecration in the area. Went to investigate back of chamber to discover another set of double doors.
• Doors → lead to stairway down to catercombs. Lead to a set of Iron doors (huge worm/maggot motif on it).
• Pool of Maggots & Grubs: ledge surrounding the pit. Moved around the room (avoiding traps). Likely chamber used as abode of ‘Worm-that-walks’. Far side, tarnished silver double doors. Haunted Flame decorations on it. Rada attempted to open it and was affected by an Envervation spell. Brock cured her of it and then opened the doors.
• Final Chamber: walkway with pews (containing chanting monks), raised area with clapping Grey Friar (is a Huecuva)greets us. Suspended past the Grey Friar, chained to a parody of Iomedae, is Kendra (has been ‘entertained’). Bubbling pool of black necromantic energies just after the pews. Friar has prepared for us (possibly cast Share wounds on Kendra). After battle, Grey Friar teleported away after suffering massive damage, taking Kendra and Minion with him. The others had found the Count (Who had been subjected to foul necromantic powers and looked like a Juju zombie). Dimension Door away into the room we slept.
• Old Surgury: 5 mins after arriving, Vampiric Mist appears (Natisha Pavalanis) appears. Rada falls under her spell. She negotiates her help with them as long as they dont kill her. She reports the Grey Friar retreated to a place where we already killed his minions.

Regrouping from the last encounter, the group decided to continue on southwards. Passages continued but eventually; after passing another T junction and going south further; they came across a corridor covered in old paintings, stinking of necromantic energies.

• Mirror of trapping: T junction of painting hallway had canvas covered mirror. Rada approached, but was sucked into other realm. After the others experimented, Brock got close enough to smash the mirror. Sadly, Not only rada, but a torrent of foul smelling liquid came out. part of the group partially sickened, rada discovered her powder horn had been soaked, preventing her from using her musket. The gunpowder was taken out and left to dry in a sack.
• statues chamber → going down south, the group entered into a long chamber, streched West to East. Both sides had 3 statues in them…3 were Daughters of Urgathoa, while the other 3 were fallen monks. Continuing south through a hidden passage, the group found a final fork in the road and went West.
• Haunt chamber: The chamber caused Gathar, Minion and the Eidolon to start acting erratically. brock, realising this was caused by a haunt, channeled his deity’s energy to cleanse the room. It took 3 attempts, but then the effects disappeared.

  • two witches
  • the fae skin thief and his partner from Lepidstadt
  • Kendra
  • the werewolf who tried to become tribe lord
  • the vampire tailor
    • NB: Also present is the Executioners Scythe.
• Looking around, 6 of the vats exploded, causing horrific damage, while the inhabitants jumped out to attack. After beating them off, Brock realised that Kendra wasnt actually Kendra…but was someone else with a fleshcrafted mask on to look like Kendra.

• After discussing what to do, Gathar asked questions where a ‘safe spot’ below the cathedral complex might be. based on answers, decided to go East. Brock used Ethereal ARmour to scout out and find out for us.
  • Underground Catecombs: Large space where humanoid figures were inacting a ritual around a Thurible. Smashed Haunt syphons surrounded the item and the place was covered in necromantic energies.
  • Underground Corridor: Leading North-south, further Down & East in complex. Possible safe location for the time being.
• Brock returned after a while, explained the situation and we dimension doored into the underground Corridor. Decided to follow corridor south.
• Glass Chamber: Large chamber, hewn from local rock, containing large glass vats holding people (Witch we fought in countess summer house & Kendra recognised). People are dead…or undead?

• Investigated the infirmary, found some rocks with gems in them and a haunt.
  • Haunt: people being healed (?) by insane doctor. all bar brock traumatised and weakened by effect.
• Rested for the night in the infirmary. Prepared for encounters next day.
• Encounter: outside, everyone bar Rhada heard the evil whisperings of the Whispering Tyrant (a curse). caused Brock’s holy icon to fall off and rust and Gathar to cough up a swarm of flesh eating scarabs.
• Scarabs brutalised party, devouring Rhada. After dealing with them, the party reincarnated Rhada into a Sylph. Rhada wasnt pleased and the group was planning on how to assault the abbey.

• investigated around the Abbey’s baptism font room. Brock went through the wall and then came back to get us to follow him. Danica cast a dimension door and we exited.
• Outisde: Brock showed us where something was buried from Laelithar. But before we could investigate, Gathar mentioned that Minion was under attack and we went to help. Attacks coming from above (flaming arrows). Split the party into 2 groups, Gathar and Danica summoned a pteranodon to have it fly gathar around, while Rhada and Brock attempted to enter through the main gate of the building to get up and attack the archer directly. Brock got the main door open, but was attacked by a monster, while Rhada was attacked by some trees that dragged her to them and tried to eat her. Both monsters were destroyed after Gathar was finished firing fireballs and lightening bolts at the archer.
• Decided to dig up whatever Laelithar had left us. used wand to help, but dug up a wooden box with a metal casing. Brocks ring opened the box…
• Letter (parchment scroll with inset mithril glyph) inside chest along with lots of magic.
  • Letter contents: “To Ambrosius Brock, Inquisitor of Iomedae, and adventuring companions. I hear from my granddaughter that you are on a great and terrible quest to save our world from the return of the Whispering Tyrant. Laelithar is a kind and trusting child with deep insight, so I have allowed her to spend her inheritance in this matter as she sees fit. Nevertheless, I will not see one of my line used or abused. Therefore I call upon you to present yourselves at the Court of Kyonin once you have either succeeded or failed at thwarting this attempted return of Tar-Bathon. There you will be given the opportunity to repay my granddaughter’s kindness and to show your worth.” It is signed Queen Telantia Edasseril

Vampiress escaped, but we destroyed the 4 Spectres.
