Ch 2, Part 7: The Urgathoan Temple

The Urgathoan Temple

The heroes wait for Gritt to recover from poison, while they wait they do a quick shopping trip to secure some scrolls of delay poison. Also they discover that the freed captives have all fled the building. They wait several hours but no trouble comes looking for them.

With Gritt recovered they descend again into the secret complex and quickly dispatch the survivors from their last battle. They also meet Fyffe once more but he quickly flees, drinking a potion of gaseous form and escaping into a small escape tube in the wall.

They discover more victims held captive; in some cells, plus some other diseases varisians who seem to have changed into zombies. They kill the zombies and free the captives. They tell the heroes of two others that often came to order Fyffe around; a beautiful woman who seemed to worship death and a man with rat like features.

The heroes begin ferrying the prisoners to safety before the beautiful worshiper of death arrives with more priests in tow. A tough battle ensues that sees Gritt compelled to do nothing but worship and Justin's life cut short by a slay lioving spell. More casualties follow and eventually Gritt escapes the spell and manages to drag Mandraiv and Sparrowhawk to the safety of the lift.

They escape and Gritt is able to use a wand of healing to bring them to consciousness. In a bold move they return to the complex and find that the priestess has withdrawn. They push on hoping to find her and slay her while she has used her most powerful spells. Eventually they find the bodies of their friends. Alas Justin is beyond help but they are able to bring Watson and Sol back round.

They heroes continue but they encounter more stiff opposition; a vampire mage who they are able to sufficiently hurt to force him to withdraw.

Further they encounter a demon trapped in a glass cage surrounded by zombies. The zombie quickly shatter the glass cage and the demon escapes. It manifests a magical bow and immediately attacks; sending contagion arrows into the heroes.

It is too much and the heroes leave the complex to recuperate.
