General Summary

Continuing farther into the The Tomb of Horrors, the characters slide into trouble.

Question

What was it like last time you were sick? What did you have? Are you stoic, or super whiny?

At this Point Miles rarley gets sick for more than a day. He just lesser restarotions himself anytime he feels a cold coming on
Last time he was sick, Seom Rando suspected it must have been a bad shot of mead. He deliriously sleep-walked out his back door in the night and climbed through a neighbor's window, climbing in bed with his wife. Everyone was unaware until morning, when the wife awoke with a huge smile and hushed voice, trying to coax a hung over Seom into romance, which ended before it began when Seom vomited in the bed and ran half naked out the front door.
The last time Rodger Lastname was sick, he made himself completely miserable. He had a case of Sewer Plague from working dirty jobs as a hitman in the undercity of Neverwinter. He was stoic, insisting he keep working even despite his worsening symptoms. Eventually, Zennia forced him into several days of bedrest at knifepoint; and completed his list of contracts in a loud and messy way. To this day, "the Axe Man" has a dark reputation among the survivors of Neverwinter as a very efficient killer for hire who only works during cold and flu season. Or allergy season.
"Ark Greyhaven, last time he was sick, was down with a horrible flu last year. It was bad, but with how Ark was back then, he was extremely overdramatic like he was on death's door every minute of the day. One of the house maids actually slipped him something to sleep because of how much he was blathering about the 'end of days'. Thankfully the medicine worked and he slept through most of it."
Sambra doesn't remember the last time he was really sick, but the last time he felt under the weather, he was quite and a bit stoic. His low energy was apparent, and he just wanted to sleep. For the most part, he just wanted to be left alone to wallow in his discontent and illness.

Synopsis

After discovering a secret door in the chapel, Sambra casts a fireball to burn away the poison gas. Continuing forward, using the xorn to trigger pit traps, the characters come across a door, and behind it someone calling for help. Miles steps up to cut down the door, but Klaidicardos is about to be smashed into a non-demon infused door. Klaidicardos charms Miles and stands ready to charge once the door is down. Sambra cast passwall and Miles charges. The polished marble hall begins to shift and tilt down toward a pit of molten lava. Rodger rushes to encase the both of them inside of Wave's cube of force and drags Miles towards the door. Sambra casts web, Ark flies in distributing rope, and the others move to create a chain with said rope. Miles grabs for the rope, but it is yanked from his hand when the party pulls. Thinking fast, Rodger jams a flask into Miles' mouth and says, "You don't mind shrinking so I can save your ass, do ya?" Mini-Miles, now Seom-sized, reaches out to grab the lassoed rope that Ark prepared and the pair is pulled to safety. Exploring deeper into the tomb, the characters come across a disused mummy preparation room. Sambra detects two small magical items at the bottom of large vats affixed to the floor. One with an ochre jelly, one full of acid. The keys are easily extracted via mage hand and the party fumble through the junk here and saves some pottery for later. Moving on, the party avoids a spike trapped floor, passes through an already looted room and into the next hallway, the latter two beyond secret doors.
