+=== 8 March 1111 ===
-Continuing the investigation at the cemetery.
+//continued from [[v2session05|the previous session]]//
-//Area 4)// The Beholder Room
+== Area 4) The Beholder Room ==
-//Area 5)// Skeletal Wolves and Ogre
+Once through the smashed door, the party discovered a room with steeped in
+magic. There were several magical tiles arranged in a pattern that matched the
+"Beholder" design on the door into this room.  It seemed to be some kind of
+magical puzzle -- the end result of which was unknown.  However, since the
+graverobbers //must// have come through this room, the party was determined to
+solve it.
-//Area 6)// Bridge over Ooze
+After a few misadventures, they eventually realized that the puzzle could be
+solved by rearranging a trio of out-of-place tiles.  Once this was done, a green
+ray shot from the ceiling down onto one of the tiles.  The floor where the beam
+struck, vanished, revealing a ladder descending into darkness below.
-//Area 7)// Choker in the shaft to the surface
+== Area 5) Staircase ==
-//Area 8)//((This encounter was excised from the module-as-written since it made little sense to the overall story)) The Forgotten King's Statue
+A pair of skeletal wolves and an Ogre Zombie were left in this area, either by
+the builders of the tomb or (more likely) by the graverobbers the party was
+pursuing.  After a difficult battle, the undead were destroyed.
-//Area 9)// Sleeping Varags with a Zombie
+== Area 6) Sabotaged Bridge ==
+While crossing a rope bridge over an underground stream, the party discovered
+(the hard way) that the bridge had been sabotaged.  This, along with the undead
+previously discovered, gave the party the first clues that the graverobbers they
+were pursuing were aware of being followed.
+In the water, a "Flotsam Ooze" tried to pull people down and drown them.  After
+a brief battle, the beast was destoyed.
+== Area 7) Broken Chamber ==
+In a rubble-filled side room, the party discovered a Choker lurking in a shaft
+that led to the surface.  Despite having the "high ground", the creature
+succumbed to the party's ranged attacks.
+== Area 8) Forgotten King's Statue ==
+The shaft from below opened at the feet of the Forgotten King's statue.  While
+searching for the [[v2session05|escaped wolves]], the party had previously
+discovered this statue, but hadn't spotted the concealed pit.
+Now, they had a way of entering and leaving the tomb without having to navigate
+the magical puzzle in the "Beholder Room".((The combat encounter in this area
+was excised from the module-as-written))
+== Area 9) Central Hub ==
+Behind a closed door, the party senses evil and magic.  After a brief
+preparation, they rushed into the room to discover a pair of sleeping
+"Varags"((Goblinoid creatures with an amazing running ability)), along with a
+Varag Zombie.  The creatures proved to be no match for the prepared and
+battle-hardened heroes.
+While the Varags clearly were part of the graverobber party, there was still no
+clues as to //who// they were and //why// they were here.
+//to be continued...//
