[QUOTE="Zora, post: 2998652, member: 30156"] [b]Journal entry 7/28/06[/b] Dear Pepa, I approached what turned out to be some sort of mummies with Hammer and Brimstone at the ready, Liadan close behind. I moved quickly in the hopes that whoever they were wrapping up might still be saved, as there was evidence that people had arrived here not long before us. After dispatching the two mummies, Liadan and I began unwrapping the body on the table, for I had seen it moving just prior. Too late, it seems. He was already dead and filled with large, living beetles that burst forth from his body, swarming over me and working their way into my armor. I shook them off and stepped back, commanding Brimstone to shoot forth a stream of flame that burnt the beetles to almost nothing. I do not think Dumathoin would be pleased with the happenings here. From there we moved onwards, with me taking the lead to suss out any traps. And there were many. From darts that stung to dust that clung and itched, to a pit approximately one hundred feet deep, this place is guarded well against thieves. I nearly succumbed to the pit, but Erim was quick enough with a spell of Feather Falling that I had plenty of time to save myself. In the pit, I found three people; two of which were dead whilst the last was badly broken and injured. After rescuing the only survivor, Nekaya told us that he may be from the plane of Shadow, as he had darkish skin and Liadan’s curative spells seemed to hurt him almost as much as the healed him. We bound him and brought him along with us for later questioning. We continued on, as we wished to find the source of the gonging, for every time the gong was rung, any destroyed or disassembled undead started to reform. Luckily, there were a couple of rooms in this temple complex where the undead were merely skeletons of servants. These were more likely to bow and look away as their previous station in life warranted. Upon encountering one room with warrior skeletons, Erim used a spell that created an immense spray of fire that destroyed all the undead at once. So far in this temple, he’s starting to show his usefulness. Upon seeing that my dear friend Telemnar was becoming increasingly frustrated that his swords were not as efficient against these affronts to the living, I gave him Brimstone to use, as the fire it emits seems to be having some effect. We have come to the point where we believe we are coming close to the end of the temple. Ahead, we can hear someone playing a flute and another singing. Nekaya has stepped inside, causing the two guardians to advance. This should prove interesting. [/QUOTE]
