Ken'ichi, Cat and Marius enter Wicht's Lair

[Jeph]

( At least we won't need to pay to transport our corpses to the cemetery . . .)

 

[Wicht]

The coffin opens, revealing a corpse inside (what else would one expect?) dressed in a fine burial suit. For a moment nothing happens and then without warning the corpses eye fly open and it flips out of the coffin and lunges out at the nearest fighter.

Zombie
CR: 2
Hits: 3
Powers: Undead, Expert of the Cemetery

The zombie attacks Ken: The raven flips close to the clouds; forcefully scatters the pain of the club!

 

[Ciaran]

Ducking under the outstretched arms of the cold, dead thing, Ken gives it a shove away from the rest of the group, then pummels it from behind while it claws futilely at the air.

The whip vanquishes the tundra; redirects the roar of the bird!

[Jeph]

Attack at the zombie: The lightning parts the atoll; shields the rolling of the blade!

Sahiro strikes like lightning, attempting to part the creature's head from it's shoulders!

 

[Wicht]

As the zombie closes in at Ken the three fighters react with astonishing speed and dispatch it before it can even land a blow. The zombie falls to the ground and does not move.

Each of the fighters recieves 2/3 of a hit in experience.

 

[Ciaran]

While Tso-Nah examines the coffin, Ken wanders to the edge of the building and looks out at the area of the graveyard that lies beyond the hill. Then he pulls out his map and examines it thoughtfully.

“I don’t see anything around here that looks like a cave entrance, unless it’s under this place. Maybe we should get closer to Wicht’s own tomb. Any hidden entrances to the tomb would have to be close by.”

 

[Ciaran]

Ken rolls up his map and puts it away. Then he gets out a torch and lights it. "We might as well see what's in here," he says. "It just might lead to the goblin caves, or there may be something else useful inside. So let's give it a try." Holding the torch in front of him, Ken carefully opens the door.

 

[Wicht]

The small walled structure, it turns out, is a stair well. Steps lead down into the earth below. The walls on either side of the stairs are of worked stone.

 

[Ciaran]

Ken says, “This may be it! Follow me.” With that, he enters the cubical structure and starts descending the stairs. “Just be ready to run if we meet one of the greater evils.”
