-//Area 2)// Zombies and Skeletons in the Mausoleum
+Mia Desarna, the captain of the town guard, accompanied the party as far as the
+entrance to the cemetery, where they found the main gate open - which Mia
+explained was not normal.
-//Area 3)// Flying constructs in a Side Tomb
+Inside, the party discovered two bodies (the sentinels that were sent to
+investigate), and were attacked by a pair of Wolves and their Worg leader. They
+killed one of the wolves and sent the other and the Worg fleeing.
-//Area 4)// Smash in the door to The Beholder Room
+//Area 2)// Lower Mausoleum
+Inside the ransacked mausoleum, the party discovered two corpses of recently
+deceased townsmen that had been animated into Zombies.  Along with them, there
+were three Skeletal Archers, armed with magical, flaming arrows.
+After the undead were destroyed, a young woman from town named Tyra was
+discovered trapped in a mausoleum vault.  The party decided it would be best to
+escort her back to the town, in case the wolves returned.  Once in town, they
+decided to buy some healing potions - having realized this expedition could
+become more dangerous as they go deeper into the tomb.
+//Area 3)// Side Tomb
+After finding a locked door that they were unable to open, the party doubled
+back to explore a side chamber protected by four flying constructs known as
+"Clockwork Menders".
+//Area 4)// The Beholder Room
+{{ v2-05-beholderroom.jpg|The Door to the Beholder Room}}
+The door of this room held a riddle:
+|  MAGIC DIES,  |  EYE OF DEATH,  |  FEAR AND MIND,  |  FRIENDS ARE  |  ENEMY FRIEND  |
+|  FAST MEN  |  EYE OF STONE,  |  YOU CAN SAY,  |  SHY, SLEEP  |  PAINFUL WOUNDS  |
+|  SLOW, THE  |  THE KEY  |  WILL MOVE YOU  |  IN REST,  |  OBLIVION AIDS  |

+|  SEEK IS  |  THEY HAVEN'T  |  THE WRONG  |  TO THE PASSAGE  |  RUNED  |
+|  NOT BELOW.  |  SHOWN.  |  WAY.  |  THAT'S BEST.  |  |
+After puzzling over this riddle for awhile, they came to the conclusion that it
+reflected something //within// the room, not a means to open the door.  This,
+along with the realization that there was no other way to go, led them to
+conclude that the only way in was through force -- so they smashed the door in.
