Message: <blockquote data-quote="FitzTheRuke" data-source="post: 8681396" data-attributes="member: 59816">A quick recap in case case any of our new players are wondering where they are: The Tomb of the Nine is a dungeon built about 70 (I think) years ago by Acererak (using the entire population of a city called Omu, deep in the jungles of Chult). The city had been "lost" even before that, when they turned their backs on Ubtao (the local god) to worship 9 "Trickster Gods" - toremic animal spirits. Acererak slew these new gods and entombed them in his new dungeon. The PCs have gathered most of this information. In addition (and more importantly) the party expects to find the Soulmonger here. It is a powerful artifact belonging to Acererak that seems to be responsible for the Death Curse. A curse that is causing anyone who was ever killed and resurrected, to rot away. In addition, it seems to empower some undead and/or increase their numbers. The jungle is infested with them.The party is currently exploring the beginnings of Level 2, which they arrived at by a secret staircase. There are three main groups that make up the party, that are only loosely allied: The Sticks (a group of foreigners working for various Sword Coast Factions) and their guides; The Yuan-ti (local occupiers of a part of the ruins of Omu); and the Thayans (a group of Red Wizards and their support staff looking to seize the Soulmonger for Thay).All three groups have more members who are left outside the Tomb.</blockquote>
