The Zombie Spawner

by Shyrene Windheart

We rested and then went to deal with the stone bowl and flame. Umlilo identified it as an undead spawning item, then tried to control the flame and was possessed. I had to shoot him as he flew up to attack us, which broke the spell. Himo then smashed the bowl with his hammer and the flame went out.
 
We then went back and started using the memory crystals to try to glean more information about the Yuan-Ti. The others got standard hours of a tribeswoman. I got to see the tribe pledge to the Yuan-Ti by sacrificing the tribe's leader and then burning the village before heading north. The others continued scoured the memories, but I needed time to absorb what I had seen.
 
We headed back to camp and sent the farmer boy off to Salvation's Landing with a bag of gold and discussed what to do now. It was decided to survey the immediate area and make sure there's no more grave sites providing fresh zombies. Heading out from the lodge, we ran into a Yuan-Ti setting camp. We dispatched it then began surveying during which we found a pyramid and more zombies! After clearing the zombies out, we found a way down into the pyramid and started searching.
 
Shortly upon entering, we faced a grey ooze and Himo and I fell under an enchantment spell. Geode and Umlilo tried to help me out by hitting me, which chased me out of the temple which dispelled the effect. We rested a moment while Umlilo identified an amulet he pulled off the statues that charmed us. It was a key.
 
Deeper in the temple pyramid we found a room full of undead, including a minotaur mummy. It trampled me and then knocked me out. When I came to, we finished off the last of the undead.
