Session XXI: Ascending the Lighthouse Report

General Summary

The party sneaked down the corridor amid the snores of a soldier in the on-call soldier rooms. Past the refectory, there was a large spiral staircase going up. Before going through, the party notices wording over the entrance arch to the stairs declaring that only true believers could ascend. Khoreson offers a solution where he provides the party with amulets of Ptah to allow them to trick the barrier into believing they are worshipping Ptah. All are able to ascend save Thaddius who goes up the eastern staircase. 
Upon reaching the next level, Thaddius finds more storerooms, bedchambers, and a chapel. He comes upon the main barracks and sneaks inside. Taking out his rope, he ties down the sleeping soldiers there and moves on to rejoin the party. Separating the party is a room where two sun guards are talking in their private dining room. Down the hall in their conference room, the majority of the sun guards are discussing the ship explosion. 
Sneaking in and taking the two unawares, Dalvanak stuns the pair and the rest of the party lay into them with spells and swords. Upon death, the two guards and their equipment are reduced to ash by some magical effect of the armor. The sounds have alerted the sun guards in conference room. Dalvanak and Garlith boobytrapped the hallway with ball bearings and oil, causing the first two guards to fall prone. Dalvanak stuns all but one of the guards and Thaddius ignites the oil with a fireball. The one guard who was not stunned retreats through a door to the west after shooting Darius with his musket. One of the guard recovers from his stunned state, but is burned by the enflamed corridor. 
Slowly but surely, the party eliminates the guards. Dalvanak knocks on the door to the armory on the south end of the corridor and the reply is a panicked response about counting the armor and weapons. A bell sounds and cries go up around the fortress.
