[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3438086, member: 30035"] [b]Caelen's latest letter concludes[/b] I say we were trapped because we'd already tried to go back through the portal. From this side it was a solid wall. I drew a flask of wizard's fire from my belt pouch and waited for the hawk-headed mummies to get closer. That was the wrong decision. The two shorter mummies receded into the shadows among the pillars. The larger one bore down on me. I couldn't move. All I could do was think that this wasn't the way I wanted to meet my patron ancestor. The mummy swung a strange weapon at me, a long haft with a hooked sword at one end and a curved axe-blade at the other. Not surprisingly, he didn't miss. I heard a sound like a stone sliding from behind me, though I couldn't turn to look. I found out later a stone door had fallen in the passage, leaving the halfling on the other side. Only Gwaenna and I were in the chamber with the mummies. Gwaenna tried to attack the mummy with her enchanted sword, but the magic didn't seem to affect it. It struck her twice and she collapsed. My paralysis vanished, but by then I was sorely wounded. I backed off, fighting defensively to give myself time. Conshru and his dinosaur reappeared, accompanied by Xil. I stepped behind the changeling and swallowed two potions of healing. Conshru and his mount climbed the wall and fired a spell at the mummy. Artemis waved a wand at it, sending more magic its way. Gwaenna shouted at them that magic didn't work, but they didn't seem to hear. I moved in on the mummy. It swiped at me but missed. I didn't miss. The other halfling, Robin, came up behind me and healed me with his magic. Gwaenna was back on her feet again, but the other two mummies had reappeared. Gwaenna went down again. Artemis set one of the lesser mummies afire and it exploded in a burst of sparks. I moved behind the big mummy to flank him, but he caught me with his blade and that's the last I recall for a short time. When I woke I wasn't where I'd been. Artemis had cast a spell to swap places with me. His homonculus administered a potion to me. Then Conshru came and gave me more healing. Gwaenna managed to get back on her feet again in time to give the large mummy the final blow. Then Artemis cast another healing spell over everyone and we started searching the chamber. The biggest mummy had the dragonshard Artemis sought. But the rest of the room was a disappointment. The first room still held the boat and jars, but Conshru didn't want us to touch them. He didn't stop Gwaenna from taking the odd weapons the mummies had wielded. Artemis uncovered a trapped door hiding a winding stair out of the chamber. When we tried the stair we found it led to a blank wall. We went back down and the artificer pulled a patch of cloth off his coat. When he stuck it on the wall it turned into an iron door! We used the magic key to get us to the Lost Room, and from there back to Sharn. Conshru came with us. It was amusing to watch the halfling gape in awe at both the room in Argonnessen and the towers in the city. Gwaenna took the weapons to Morgrave University, promising Conshru she wouldn't tell them exactly where the vault lay. I went back to the barracks. Artemis wants us all to come with him to the launching of a new airship. But I've been thinking that hunting treasure in ancient crypts and riding around on airships isn't really the way I want to bring glory to Coriandor's name. I'm considering taking Caerlyn's offer to join the Blades and return to Valenar. I'll let you know what I decide.
