Session 19 – The Lost City – Heading Back Up
General Summary
The heroes manage to make fairly short work of the rat masked Cynidiceans, which turn out to actually be wererats. While the encounter proves fruitful monetarily, the downward staircase leads to a dead end. Not even Sylbella's expertise in archeology is able to find anything resembling a secret opening.
Determining that they have explored the whole of the fifth tier of the pyramid they begin making their way back up to the fourth tier, encountering giant tuatara lizards and poisonous snakes along the way.
Retracing their steps on tier four, they revisit a couple of rooms, the first being one full of giant diseased rats, which manage to infect Gikhesh.
The second houses three white apes evidently guarding a sarcophagus. Sylbella uses wild shape to look like them to try to communicate, but they really do not have much to offer in the way of information.
Finally, they revisit a room containing a mummified corpse guarded by skeletons. The mummy is not undead, but the skeletons are and attack immediately. Thankfully, they prove to not be much of a match and the team uses the now cleared room to rest and heal.
