Session 9: Flesh-Throwing Zombie

Present: Heptzar, Danny (Ashen), Dennis (Nathumbe), Eric (Mikron), Karen (Vira), Mark (Berrian), Michael (Wultgar)

After slaying the Queen bug, the party returned to the nest room, and searched for loot. There was nothing of note to find, other than a few bits of bug wing and some bug claws.

The party decided to explore the rest of the caves, and so headed back to the room with the petrified beams. We followed previously unexplored tunnels until we returned to the room with the Braziers. We followed a bug tunnel near the doors to the trap room, and after several turns and and dead ends, found a dead goblin, a couple dead bugs, and finally an opening under a stream of falling water into a large room.

Some creature (which later turned out to be undead) appeared hunched under the stream of water, wearing chains and manacles and surrounded by magical statues.

Wultgar, in his zeal to meet the Raven Queen, lowered himself on some rope, and prepared to jump into the room, when the beast ripped off some of his own flesh, and flung it, knocking Wultgar prone. Berrian vanished and appeared beside Wultgar to protect him. Several more undead creatures appeared from under debris, and the fight was on.

Noteable events from the battles: - Turn undead (Vira) is a pretty awesome skill. - The wand of lightning appears exhausted. - The statues made hitting some of the undead impossible. Once the statues were destroyed, the undead fell easily.

After the fight, we noticed the room had two sets of doors. One set lead to the trap room, and the other we have not yet explored.

XP from monsters: 84

Treasure discovered:
  • 8 amethysts (eyes from panther statues)
  • Bag of kruthik claws (Mikron)
  • Kruthik samples (Vira and/or Heptzar; I forget)
  • Corpse chains (Ashen)
