Orhan 5 Day 1 TE 6061

Suddenly, Nimble's friend Mark shows up to lend a hand. He's a crazed frenzied bezerker, so we hope having him around will help.

Sumaya blows up some more ghosts now that she's conscious again. Tunaep attacks the type III demon. Mark is still surrounded with floating heads.

We fight on as Oathar works on closing the gate.

Sadly something on the other side pushes back. Gah. Out comes a horrible looking 11-foot tall giant flaming man with huge talons. Oh dear.

We keep fighting... A huge flame demon emerges just as Oathar gets the door closed.

Mark kills it, and Sumaya manages to CALM him before he turns on us all to kill us.

Oathar invokes the power of Neela to cure nimble of his curse of ugliness. "Do you accept Neela as your personal savior?" "Who's Neela?"

Whisper start asking his followers to tell him what's been going on here about lately. A lot of priests have been going back and forth to the capital. They're pretty sure that the army is gathering for a big push somewhere, but they aren't quite sure where. It's all headed to the eastern regional provincial capital.

Nimble finds a scroll that says, "To priest blah, now that your advanced training is complete in the advanced magical techniques that we stole from the outlander, you have been chosen to participate in a very important ritual. With the god at the head of our army, we will be invincible. Death to the unbelievers! The army is gathering at the provincal capital and will march as soon as the god appears."

Now is probably time for us to get to the northern border and meet the bothans.

Whisper breaks his cult up into small terrorist cells. He tries to send them home. They really would rather die as his word, but they're willing to go home to do that. They head off. Oathar pockets the scroll of Commune True.

We start heading north to make our meet. Whisper and Nimble scout, though Nimble refuses to get anywhere near Whisper after that whole cult fiasco in which Nimble got cursed.

As we march on, Whisper discovers a strange sink hole next to the road. We send Tunaep down to investigate. He discovers a chamber with four colums in the four corners. There's a large door. There are several symbols of gods of Orhan and on the great door is the Seal of Kuor! Sumaya investigates the door and decides that it looks to be a burial chamber of a champion of Kuor. Sumaya attempts to open the big stone doors. When she touches it, it starts to glow. She prays a little, but nothing happens.

Whisper and Nimble disagree as to whether there are traps. Sumaya works on divination near the door. There's probably something else she needs to do to prove that she's authorized. She casts a holy spell and then manages to push the door open. Behind it is a bier with a skeleton lying on top of the bier. It has a set of decayed leather armor on it and a helm and on its chest is an amulet. The amulet on his chest is unholy. We are instantly suspicious, as Oathar has been burned by this sort of thing before.

Oathar determines that the amulet is 500 years old, was create in Tai Emer, that it's a magical key to a specific door, and it was created by Acererak. Sumaya prays to Kuor and is told to grab the amulet. A ghost forms and says, "I have been freed. We thought we had defeated the lich but we were betrayed. Take up my cause. We've taken his key, take up my cause."

Sumaya says she doesn't have the feeling that this should be done now. The amulet should be given to those who can.

We meet up with Kyrik at the northern border. He remembers Acerak. A typical lich sorcerer with a dungeon. One group of adventures finally managed to defeat him. Teh tomb closed down and vanished. It was in Tai Emer somewhere near where the necromacer dude ranch (In the swamp near Ardania.)

Kyrik gives us some Bothans to escort to the capital. He warns us that they are suicidal and to keep them away from mushrooms.
