Player Characters Present
Jeidobii, Torq, Denahi, Burakubuu

Synopsis
Having bested a mind flayer, the party debated their next move. As they discussed, they heard something on the approach. Spying a massive creature phasing through the space, they concluded it best to head up the stairs.

As they ascended, the group became splintered, drawn away from eachother by specters and visions. Torq and Jeidobii managed their best to resist, but Denahii fell under outside control as the phantasm of her brother drifted through her. Burakubuu, meanwhile, was distracted by what claimed to be his mother, though he was still of sound mind.

Denahii lashed out at Jeidobii as Torq called to his friends from a distance. Burakubuu arrived and grappled Denahi, but took the phantasm into himself in the process. With effort, the heroes banished the spirit and continued their way just in time to realize the hulking beast from below was on their trail. They arrive at a dead end as they flee and struggle with a hidden mechanism until they free themselves at the last possible second. They find themselves back on the surface and exiting a tower. Assessing the locale, they head in what they hope is the direction of Rheragord.

On that path they encounter a number of gravemounds that burst forth with undead under the control of an ominous figure. They engage in an epic battle under the moonlight, barely coming out victorious.
