They walk though a weird hallway, and hit some rubble that takes Lastion about 15 minutes to clear out. There is a narrow twisty corridor and Megala scouts ahead and see nothing. They hit a door and They enter.

This room gleams with two large sarcophagi with golden runes telling their names - Alatandr and Zeonbia. There are numerous wooden chests in there, and several have been smashed open. Plus smashed thrones. Alzar quickly notices that the gold and gems in the room are mostly fake. He also knows there are two secret doors leading out. A quick search turns up nothing else.

The next room is Queen Zeonbia’s burial chamber. The walls of this room are plain stone with an oblong box made from stone slabs in the center of the room. A search of the chamber shows nothing. Lastion opens the sarcophagus and reveals Queen Zeonbia, now a wight, who attacks!

Another freakin’ wight. Alzar tries to control it and..success! He plucks the crown and sceptre from the queen. The jeweled crown would be worth around 5000 gold.

They head back to other secret room, this time led by their Queen wight.



They move into the secret door and find a room that is laid out identically to the queen’s room, but with a ghost that appears. Alzar has no idea what it is. That’s a rare creature. It wails and Alzar takes 3 damage


22/51. He swings with his staff at it and it does no damage. He orders the Queen to attack, since her claws should be able to hit the fey. Alzar tries to control it, but it is way to powerful. It shrieks again and he takes 4.

18/51.

Alzar leaves and shuts the door.

A minute later, the wight has died, and the fey is badly injured. Alzar opens the door back up with axe and slices. The fey take 11 and dies.

No XP, dead wight. The room has nothing in it either, so the coffin is opened and inside is a mummified corpse with an identical jeweled crown (5000 gold) and a long sword and plate armor that are added to the magic pile.


This finishes this level, so Alzar decides to take a group up with the gold, items, crowns, and such, and restock the wagon. They pick up two more casks of wine and a crate of food on their way. On their way, they run into a giant centipede, but it is non aggressive and they skip it.
