Session 26 – Lost City: Island of Death Part 4
General Summary
Another vampire!? As the found in the first mausoleum, the northeastern mausoleum also is found to house a foul creature of the night. But as with the first, the team skillfully deals with, although not before Gikhesh is bitten and suffers some loss of strength.
Finding more artwork that is clearly not Cynidecean in origin, Sylbella also notes that it is not even very old. In fact, it is fairly modern including another depiction of gold fish while the other items seem to celebrate gambling.
Figuring that the third mausoleum is most likely also going to be guarded by dread warriors and house a resting vampire, they proceed with caution in that direction. But before they reach that side of the island, they encounter zombie-like creatures hiding in some nearby bushes. While not an easy fight, they are still defeated, and the group moves on to the last mausoleum.
As expected, they find three dread warriors guarding the entrance, but this time they take one of them out from a distance with both Sylbella and Feebs being successful with very well placed ice knives and Gunkyn using his now infamous Nathair's Michief.
After dispatching the dread warriors, they enter the northwestern mausoleum, this time noting that the statue, as somewhat expected is that of Gorm. And once again they find a casket. This time though, Sylbella wastes no time, immediately casting Moonbeam as soon as she opens the lid. The vampire inside this mausoleum goes down the fastest since the team is extremely prepared to deal with it.
Afterwards among the seemingly requisite large stash of coins and artwork, they also score an extra bag of holding and a rather interesting looking cloak. Moreover, they find a spell scroll imbued with the teleport spell – although they are unable to ascertain its destination.
Bruised and tired from fighting undead abominations, they leave the so called “Island of Death” and make their way back to the Stronghold of Gorm for a much need long rest.
