Session 30: Back into Chaos Report
General Summary
After several hours of trekking down the old trade road and back through the game trail, so well-travelled by the adventures that its path was now well worn. The party finally found themselves back in the stark and foreboding ravine. The adventures cautiously but diligently made their way across the canyon floor and up its banks to the mouth of the temple of Chaos and in to the darkness beyond. The party proceeded to methodically move throughout the desolate hallways of the now defunct temple searching the areas they may have previously bypassed. One such location was the darkened chamber that had been bolted and chained from the outside and labeled ‘Death Awaits’. Inside the group found a series of sarcophagi in lined along the walls. At the end of the chamber was a particularly large sarcophagus that drew their attention. After some help from the Barbarian the party managed to slide the stone cover off in a grinding crash. As the lid slide off the seal ages old was broken and a gasp of ancient air belched out, revealing a void of darkness. Just as the members of the partly started to lean forward to peer into the opening when a dark and mottled form rose from its grave its dark red glowing eye sockets staring at the party in an evil burning rage. Reeling from the shock and fear from the mummy a battle ensued and as if by queue several lids of other sarcophagi slide off to free several wraiths from their unholy slumber. Soon the party found themselves in a dire fight for survival as many of their attacks failed to even damage the mummy as its strikes hit many times with devastating precision. Eventually the heros prevailed and defeated the mummy and its minions but not before Deborah felt the cold and numbing effects of its strike upon her exposed arm. Soon after the battle when the party was tending to their wounds and gathering the spoils Deborah’s arm started to turn an ashen grey and she started to be overcome with illness. The clerics determined that she was infected with Mummyrot and that they would need to get her aid as soon as possible before she became overcome by this affliction.
