13 March 1111

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.

Area 18) Cliffside Waterfall

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.¹⁾

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

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

Learn a little about the forgotten king (and Yosi and Ash are deeply shaken by what they see in a magical mirror in one tomb room) and encounter two horrible undead, nearly killing Allie and ravaging the party as a whole. creatures who had escaped from their magically sealed sarcophagi. Included in the loot are a ceremonial longsword (which Allie keeps), and a magical suit of plate mail, which Ash keeps rubbing and calling “my oh so Preciousssssss”
