Misscliks Devotion: Episode 13

Recap Day X
The party is in Sandashar, Akuba. Ransom drinks the potion to cure himself of the love potion at Rasputin the alchemist's shop. They return to their inn to find Kes with a high fever. Olivia with her healer training is able to diagnose Kes with the fatal Elf Sleeping Sickness. The same disease that killed Leaventh. Kellen calls a doctor and keeps his distance.

The Doctor agrees with Olivia's diagnosis, and recommends they talk with the alchemist to make a cure. Rasputin the alchemist arrives, says he can make a cure, but they need to get a rare mushroom. He gives them directions into the Sinduin Forest.

The party arrive at the Sinduin Forest, North-East of Sandashar. Inside the forest they are led by their child guide to a 150 foot wide stepped pyramid made of tarnish stone. There are evidence of an ancient battle, with catapult balls strew about, and some damage done to the pyramid. The pyramid feels like it has been here for thousands of years. The guide leave them, and the party head up to the entrance.

As Ransom lights a torch, he spots an Ogre behind them, hiding in the trees. Kellen speaks to the Ogre in Akuban, and the Ogre politely invites the party to come back to his place to meet his wife. When Kellen politely refuses, the Ogre says their attendance isn't optional, as they are to be the main course. The party enter the pyramid down a path that the Ogre is too small to fit inside.

Underground they find empty crypts, that once held bodies, but are long empty. They find passages with rusted sprung traps that had never been reset. They come across a room with 4 intact sarcophagus. Ransom puts down some caltrops, steps into the room, and once the sarcophagus opens, he steps back. Out of the sarcophagus stands a skeleton. The skeleton opens a nearby sarcophagus, and another skeleton rises. Then those two skeletons open up the 2 remaining sarcophagi. All the skeletons appear human. Two of the skeletons wearing in rusted-out chainmail with a bronze short sword. One is wearing the tattered remains of leather armor and a bow. The last skeleton has a walking stick with a cracked crystal ball at the end.

The wizard skeleton casts Magic Missile at Ransom. Ransom goes behind Kellen's Shield spell, that blocks the incoming arrow shots. The two warrior skeletons walk forward, taking a little damage from the caltrops, as they close in and try to hit Kellen, but the Shield spells stops them. The party keep backing up to a fork in the path.
