Party - Ellette, Steve, Kyo, Orlan We get back home after dealing with the meep being kidnapped. Quintin walks in and leaves a letter on the able. It's a letter about Vade Manus. Gives the run down of session one. A goblin with a helmet runs into Steve, literally. It's Grunk. He shows Steve his necklace of ears. Wants to display them in the keep. Steve convinces them to hang it up in their room. HE drags his sword as he leaves scratching the floor. Ellette tells Steve to fix the floor she panics and gets Kyo to fix the floor with mending. We leave the keep as Orlan wants to speak to Fizzle. Quintin is behind the bar we can see Fizzles hate slightly above the counter. Orlan gives Fizzle the blue kobold wings and a vial of magic orange goo. Fizzle goes to drink the goo, Ellette convinces him that Orlan wants a potion made from him. Fizzle presents the team with a potion in return, it's changing between black and brown. Orlan drinks it. His hands turn black as far as his elbows. It feels all necrotic. Quintin tells the party Anora Lynn is missing. Hasn't been seen in two days. Disappeared when we returned from the cursed forest. As Quintin goes to share more information we an hear explosions in the distance. The tavern shakes. Towards Mirabar we can see mushroom skeleton clouds in the distance. Shades of grey and green. We go to see Zolton he needs more ancient elven shit to fix the sword. Ellette finally looks in the pouch Sylonus gave her, theres a glowing purple rock. He takes it to use it on the sword. We get supplies from the stores in town. After we get everything ready and head towards the mushroom clouds. We reach an area that looks like it might have been a church but now it lies in ruins. There are a lot of open graves with a blue energy up ahead. Anora Lynn is nowhere to be seen. The clouds in the distance seem be looking at us. Devine sense, Kyos undead senses are tingling Undead appear. Steve pushes Steve into the closest grave, he falls in and climbs back up, Steve steps up to hit him with her hammer and gets grabbed round the ankle by skeletal hands. She quickly kicks them away and swings at the first skeleton. Ellette goes to the eye tapping it with her sword it is very solid, She turns and swings moonlight at two of the skeletons. Kyo notices magician veins going through the ground to under the eye he jumps on it but no affect. Kyo decides to jump into one of the closest graves. Bones start to paw at him as he jumps back out. Ellette tries to disintegrate the eye but only makes a hole, theres an ungodly scream the zombies get destroyed and she gets hit with a necrotic burst and stumbles before steadying herself. Beneath the eye the party sees a stairs heading downwards. The ground below is covered in bones. Ahead is a closed portal with four unlit torches nearby there are red flags sticking up from some of the piles. Orlan tries to light one with a quick fire bolt from the other side of the room, the spell bounces off the metal. One flag has a rusty knife by it. Another a glass skull. Another has a scroll. Orlan opens the scroll. It reads; (See group chat) Steve walks to a pile and finds a bell. She kicks it, it just lets out a gentle ring. She panics and runs to another pile before Ellette can notice. She finds a box that's locked. Ellette finds a children's toy carved out of bones.
