The battle against the undead is hard and appears in doubt, but Belaver's summoned reinforcements eventually turn the tide.
The party destroys the remaining undead and retreats to recover. The party spends a day recuperating, praying for and casting restoration spells to remove the after-effects of the wounds inflicted by the undead.
While the party rests and recuperates, they think back and discuss their recent misadventures with the Deck of Many Things. Kerwyn, Toriah, and Torn each drew four cards from the fabled deck while Lenya selected a single card.
Kerwyn's first card was the Vizier. Kerwyn feels that he can draw upon a source of ancient wisdom to solve his next dilemma.
Kerwyn's second card was the Balance. Looking at the Scales of Justice, Kerwyn has a change of heart and his alignment changes to LAWFUL neutral.
Kerwyn's third card was the Flames. The card reveals a demon with a doglike head topped with horns, muzzle dripping with sharp fangs, and a look of hatred, staring at Kerwyn.
Kerwyn's fourth card was again the Flames, but this time the picture had changed. Kerwyn sees an extraordinarily beautiful demoness who momentarily changes her face to look like Craven and then changes back into her original form. She too has eyes that glare in hatred at Kerwyn.
Toriah drew his cards next.
Toriah's first card was the Throne. Immediately Toriah's back straightened and he stood taller, appearing much more the leader of this group than you had noticed previously. A magical scroll appeared in Toriah's hand. Toriah read out loud that he was the new owner of a castle that was being constructed where the ruined moathouse once stood outside Hommlet.
Toriah's second card was the Idiot. Toriah started to drool a little bit (-3 intelligence) while you wondered why someone would want to build a castle on top of the ruined moathouse.
Toriah's third card was the Void. Toriah dropped the cards, stopped drooling, and doing much of anything. His body still functions, but his mind (and soul) are gone.
Torn drew her cards next.
Torn's first card was the Skull. Death in the form of a shrouded figure armed with a scythe came for her. Unfortunately for Death, Torn was armed with the original sword of answering, and after a somewhat long combat, Fragarach shredded the dread wraith without ever missing.
Torn's second card was the Key. A glowing longsword appeared in her left hand (+4 longsword), just in case something should happen to Fragarach.
Torn's third card was the Sun. Light blazes all around her as a Belt with the Ancestral rune of Raner's Family appears in her hand (Belt of Dwarvenkind). Torn is now level 15.
Torn's fourth card was the Fool. Feeling somewhat foolish, Torn draws again. Torn is back to level 14.
Torn's fifth card is the Moon. Torn received two wishes.
Lenya drew one card next.
Lenya also drew the Sun. Light blazes all around her as a Figurine of Wonderous Power, Bronze Griffon appears in her hand. Lenya is now level 15.
