 //Area 17)// Robber Encampment
 The party has stumbled (quite literally) into a trio of sleeping Varags...
+Despite the fact that one of the Varags is highly skilled in combat, the fight
+is quick and ends with all three Varags dead.  However, the already weakened
+party is in bad need of rest.

+Meet Sigur, the Fey spirit who lives in and protects the waterfall.  He helps
+the wounded party get safely out to the surface, where they return to the
+village to rest.
+**//14 March 1111//**
+[[Líkami]] awakes with some kind of stomach bug, but he opts to join the party
+on their expedition - even though he doesn't feel up to the rigors of combat.
+[[Heilli]] spends much of the morning making hilarious "fart jokes" at his
+brother's expense.((Such as: [[Líkami]] is not allowed within 30' of the party,
+and has to carry two lit candles or torches at one time.  On the plus side, at
+one point his vomit kills one of the members of the spider swarm.  Apparently,
+they are allergic to corn.  Fortunately, Heilli does the work of two...if one of
+them is hiding in the back.))
+The refreshed party returns to the waterfall, where Sigur helps them back in. He
+warns them of the "Tomb Spider" in the next room and offers them assistance and
+healing.
+//Area 19)// False Tomb Entry
+{{ v2-10-tombspider.jpg|The Tomb Spider and its Web Mummy}}
+Battle the Tomb Spider, its web mummy, and a swarm.  Yosi, confronting one of
+his greatest fears, enters the fray and helps bring down the enormous, powerful
+spider. [[Ketamine]]'s badger companion, Pebble, is infected with the Tomb
+Spider's poison and dies when she tries to heal him.  After Pebble's death, a
+disconsolate Ketamine rages, breaking and tearing into any convenient target up
+on the balcony, including, surprisingly, Freyrik, who intelligently descends
+into the main room and lets her have her space and time.
+//Area 20)// Balcony
+Discover a dead Hobgoblin, some impressive loot, and a door to the tomb beyond.
+//Area 21)// Treachery's Price
+The party learns the story of the forgotten king, in the form of three
+illusions:
+== Illusion 1 ==
+//A magic painting depicts a spring day on a high, green hill, making it seem as
+if the sun reaches this room as well as the green slope. You can almost smell
+apple blossoms and awakening flowers. People in fine clothes stand around the
+hill, and it is as if you are among them. Central in the scene is a tall, raven-
+haired man dressed in shining plate armor, kneeling before a blond man and a
+red-haired woman, each wearing golden crowns.//
+== Illusion 2 ==
+//The room quickly fills with the image of the hill you saw before, now covered
+in brown grass, flames leaping into the sky off in the distance. The dark-haired
+man in shining armor wields two curved swords, battling howling goblinoids and
+baying wolves. Beside him fights the blond king wielding a black longsword.
+Light sparkles on the blade and the king's crowned helmet. The red-haired woman
+holds her ground behind and between the two, her staff held aloft as lightning
+strikes her foes. Your hair stands on end and your skin tingles, as if
+electricity were really in the air.//
+== Illusion 3 ==
+//Snow covers the hill, but bloodstains clash with the mud and frost. The blond
+king has fallen to one knee, his left arm hanging useless at his side. Bestial
+humanoids surround him as he caresses the cheek of the red-haired woman lying
+mortally wounded before him. Behind the golden-haired king stands the raven-haired
+knight, his silver armor stained with blood and his eyes wild with triumph,
+wrath, and greed. He holds the king's crown aloft with one hand as his curved
+blade slices down at the king in the other.//

+{{ v2-10-plaguewalker.jpg?200|Plague Walker}}
+In addition to learning about the forgotten king, Yosi and Ash are deeply shaken
+by what they see in a magical mirror in one tomb room and the party encounters
+two horrible undead -- creatures who had escaped from their magically sealed
+sarcophagi.  The battle nearly kills Allie and ravages the party as a whole.
+Included in the loot are a ceremonial longsword (which Allie keeps), and a
+magical suit of plate mail (which Ash takes).
