Rumours from Rhax & Roon:

Session 2:

Once more our heroes choose to explore the Necropolis.

Upon entry they found that the bodies of the dead brigands from their previous delve had been dragged away, seemingly deeper into the structure.

The party explored further. They found a nine foot black stone statue of a robed female with a gaping fanged mouth. In her hands she carried a bowl that issued water from a mechanism below and a rod in her other hand. The statue was badly damaged from time and seismic activity. Careful search of the statue revealed a silver key concealed in a cavity beneath the tongue.

They noted with unease that the droning song that filled the vaulted chambers continued and grew louder as they ventured forth.

Deeper in the complex the party found catacombs, consisting of great avenues, containing hundreds upon hundreds of skeletons resting uneasily in their arcosolium (shelf graves). The part elected not to disturb them.

At the far end of the avenue the party found another statue, this time the statue was made of black metal, fifteen feet high, a skeleton dressed in robes. The statue was a work of unrivalled artistry, seemingly out of time, there minds boggled at the skill with which it was wrought.

Exploring a side passage the party was ambushed by a huge spider, the agile predator descending from the ceiling to ravage the party. Greenlow the halfling was sorely rent by the ravaging chelicerate of the beast, and for a time it seemed that the spider would have four additions to its larder. After striking many blows that failed to slay the beast the party fell back. Quick thinking Dvalinn cast a sleep spell, the beast succumbed and was duly hacked to pieces.

Careful search revealed a fissure in the wall in which the spider had stored the remains of its previous victims. Two skeletons were found, wrapped in  silken bails, the desiccated bones of small folk adventurers. Recovering a curious sword, a diamond ring and a number of vials. The party choose at this time to flee the necropolis but vowed to return on another, more auspicious day.
