The Iron Doors Report

General Summary

Before opening the iron doors the heroes encounter a badger.
The badger says:
Evil lies beyond this door.
Foul crimes are committed therein.
Great peril awaits adventurers.
Yet, valor may succeed.
Defeat the warden.
Free the prisoner.
And receive Heaven’s blessing.

The heroes examine the doors and determine the doors were once warded with a powerful necromantic spell which has since faded over time. Taking out their tools, the heroes open the doors and proceed to the hallways beyond the doors.

A search of the area finds numerous stacks of bones. There are skeletons carved upon some of the caskets, which seem dwarf-like but the skulls are oddly elongated and the bones of the limbs seem shorter than would be correct for dwarves. This must be an artistic representation instead of an accurate carving.
Eventually the heroes find a larger rooms with an open chest of coins besides a large lever. The heroes carefully inspect the chest and then take all the treasure. After a short debate, the heroes decide to pull the lever. When the lever is pulled a powerful necromantic spell is activated and numerous skeletal guards appear. The heroes do some combat stuff and defeat the skeletal guards, and then explore the hallways to the south-east finding another iron double door.
This double door has also been wedged shut and warded from the other side, and the heroes get out their tools and open the doors.

After passing through the double doors, the heroes decide to return the drow fort to take a long rest to recover.
