They head back to the corridor and move forward instead of right. They enter a pearlescent room with white marble floor and alabaster. A light says this is a place of rest for those of good alignment to find respite and regain strength against the temple. Leave your weapons here in order to be temporarily blessed to fight against the evil. Alzar knows it is a trick since any such place would quickly see him, his undead and orcs as evil. He leaves the room through another door. They find a room with two werewolves and a giant crystal that communicates with the room they were just in. They both see the large force Alzar has assembled and surrender. He has them bound and gagged both in the mouth and wrapped around it. He used harsh wire, so that if they try and change shape, it will cut off their hands and feet from the tightness.

They search and find:

18 sprigs of wolfsbane
+1 dagger
+1 short sword +3 vs lycanthropes and shapechangers
5 silver daggers
Scroll of Protection against Lycanthropes
1600 sp
Tons of weapons and armor for the magic pile

They leave through another door that ends at giant double doors of bronze, which are forced open to reveal a huge octagonal room. There is a pit on the floor, and above it a stone of alabaster. There are two knives and a crystal bowl of high quality. There are several door out, including another set of the magically sealed ones. Alzar has a zombie approach the crystal and alabaster area and as it gets close, and touches the crystal dais, a fierce wind rushes from the pit and destroys the zombie. A tinking and chiming alert is sounded, and out from a secret door comes a creature that looks like a Wraith, but Alzar cannot control it.




Alzar doesn’t think it’s undead. He throws his dagger at it and it takes 11 damage. Alzar orders others to fire, but the non-magical missiles fly right through it. Carum hits for 5. Alzar steps in front to challenge it, and it arrives. It misses Alzar then takes nothing as he drops his axe. Est’s sword hits for 11 damage. It dies.

XP – 650 for Carum, Alzar and Estaish

They move to its secret chamber and it is a small one with a Censer in it.

Alzar orders everyone out of the chamber and grabs the Ring of Telekinesis and floats the crystal items over:

Evil Items – Crystal knivesx2, Crystal Bowl - 250 gp for bowl, 1250 gp for each knife

Alzar also takes two giant crystal braziers that are not protected by the wind, and they are each worth 10,000 gp. Undead carry them.
