A quick getaway from a Vecna priests lair

by Marya Silverstring

Aaand we're slowly creeping along
Also we have no idea where Seb is exactly
Magnolia also reaaally dislikes this place
And this temple thing has a huge obsidian plinth with a cloaked figure on top, well a statue at least O.o
 
Nice there's some cultic singing down to the south
But hey at least it seems okay to the east
So we check that one first
There is definitely no movement behind the door
 
We sloooowly and silently open the door
Behind the door seems to be a bookcase and some more stuff
Okay two bookshelves, a table and chair and quite a few old musky books
And a few stands with items on top
One looks like a severed eyeball
And a single tome
And a hand
Nice....
Melech tries to grab one of those things
 
Aaand then he tries severing his own hand with a dagger of Sofia
Balak grapples him and I web him
Takes almost 30 seconds for him to come back to his senses
 
At least he's aware of what he tried to do
And Melech takes all the stuff that was in the room
But hey we find a hidden passageway
And there's steps behind it
Soooo we take the hidden way, definitely
 
We find ourselves in the hallway
Oh neat the door right below us is the singing one
Okay it's Seb singing
Seriously man?!
As soon as we get the door open, Seb charges out
Also there's steps coming back
 
Aaaaand back to the secret passage we go, quickly
Melech finds the way to open it and in we go
Back to the 'library' we go and the group settles on burning the books
After that we make a dash back to the grove part
The priest obviously sees us
 
Then we're in full escape mode
I climb up the wall
The useless woman is still bad at climbing and didn't get up there
Aaaand we get everyone out, even the useless woman
We even get my rope back!
 
The priest tries to get her, but we get her out
Also Melech throws a guiding bolt that gets caught by the vampire guy
Balak manages to land a dart
 
Then away we go
At least Seb recognized that the stuff he just did was crazy
Oh and the vampire guy had a scar around the wrist
How fitting
 
Anyway, we look for ways back to the road or at least to find some kind of landmarks
And Melech definitely comes through in that regard!
 
So we're back on our way to Zadash
Also Seb gets his certificate back
And Melech even roughly maps out how to get back to the hellhole
 
We walk until it's nighttime and even find a little tavern to stay for the night, sweet!
