Callin! Go to look for the ooze and lead it to the symbol of Virakus”.  Marban, who was on watch, firstly helped the young knight put his armour back on as the other heroes started to get up.  Friar Leo and Fr Arton jumped out of their beds at the sound of the scream and the young lord’s bellows.Callin, wondering why the change of heart, asked Sir Kendrik just how they would carry the ooze back with them. Sir Kendrik retold how they were able to lead the ooze to the symbol under Clyster by laying a trail of coins.  Sir Kendrik justified this course of action by stating that sacrificing the ooze to stop the evil that may have been being unleashed in the lower level of the monastery would be for the greater good.Fr Arton added that maybe Pelor had provided the means to destroy the symbol just like in Clyster.  The party considered how they would lead the ooze down to the symbol and Marban headed for the symbol to lead a trail up from the symbol and Callin and Leo would lead the ooze from upstairs.Callin and Leo headed up toward the area where the heroes last saw the ooze, in a passageway to the side of the great hallway.  When the two heroes reached the great hall, they entered and attempted to pass one of the slain priests.  Callin, always wary of the unexpected, was proceeding cautiously.  What the cautious rogue saw stopped him in his tracks.  The black dragon that the heroes had slain earlier in the day turned its head slightly, its malevolent eyes rolled back in its head and its tail swishing spasmodically.  The dragon had been re-animated as a zombie!  Callin instinctively grabbed Friar Leo, who was oblivious to what was around him, and dragged him out of the hallway back through the door they had entered by.Callin and Leo decided that they had no choice but to return to the others and report the disturbing developments upstairs.Deciding that the heroes had no time to attack the dragon zombie just to get to the ooze, Sir Kendrik proposed that the heroes must risk the curse of the symbol to defeat the evil clerics and whatever evil they may have unleashed.  The other members of the party agreed, some maybe a bit reluctantly.Fr Arton reminded the heroes that all magical light sources would be extinguished and that Fr Arton’s ability to turn undead would be seriously affected.  The heroes took off their magical lanterns and Marban took off one of his rings.  He stated the ring was a family heirloom and didn’t want the villains to claim it if the heroes did not return from their expedition alive.Sir Kendrik suggested placing the scrolls that described how to enchant Perdita Mortua under the remains of St Darius.  Once this was done Callin carefully jammed the door to the crypt.Next time we will see what happens in the evil dungeon.........TO BE CONTINUED</blockquote>
