Carrion Crown Chapt. 1

The party sets off toward the house and the deputy waits for Gibbs to gather his things. There are mumbles from the other villagers on the street about the fight but they pay you no heed since you didn't kill the man. Your trip to the house is uneventful and the time is about 07:15 when you get there.

Upon asking about it Baruk will share all his memories of the dreams.

Spring meditates for an hour, and calms down after the encounter. He spends the time peacefully thinking about what happened and how he can continue to help even though humans are odd. He then checks up on Bill, and finishes his work by channeling divine energy.

here ya go Bill, this should probably make you feel right as stone. Spring plays a cheerful tune to relax the mood before they go crawl through a creepy crypt.

cure light wounds 4 + 2 = 6

Bill prepares his delving gear and heads towards the church with Spring in tow.

Arriving at the church Father Grimburrow meets you with two young acolytes.

These boys will take you to the crypt that you indicated and unlock it for you. I wouldn't expect to find much of anything in there though but anything you do find you may have as long as you report to us any problems we may face

The acolytes walk you to the Restlands and lead you through the paths to the crypt doors. As he unlocks the door you notice there are acid burns carefully placed on the lock and the key truly does nothing other than give the appearance of security.

We will wait out here for your return.

Stepping in you see the darkness swallow a stair case going down. It is old and musty smelling with dust caking the floor.

Perception and Survival rolls with your posts pls.

I'll lead, Bill says as he lights up a lantern, it's kinda what I do.

Perception 16 + 8 24

Survival 20 +8 28

Spring's eyes adjust to the light in this dark environment, and after a minute can see perfectly clear into the dark as he stands near the light.

Ready to roll... let's see what we have here.

perception 6 + 3 = 9
survival 20 + 3 = 23

Bill is easily able to spot dusty footprints leading the way down the stairs. Closer inspection of them tells you both that they were made by a man with a slight limp as if old joints were acting up, most likely the professors tracks.

Making your way down the stairs into the pits of the dead there is an unsettling feeling. There are rather large cracks in the walls and chunks of stone missing in some places. The footprints lead you to a room on the left side of the stairs about 400' into the earth. Inside the room there is a sarcophagus along the back wall. It appears to have once been made for an extremely important man as the carvings in the stone are exquisite but it can only be assumed that he was a man of god as no gold or gem has been mounted to it.

I need positioning in the room for where you will be and perception checks for each post while in the crypt.

Spring doesn't feel the presence of anything vile.

Bill carefully approaches the sarcophagus.

Perception 13+8 21

You can see that the sarcophagus was opened recently as the footprints lead up to it and there are hand prints in the dust where someone would have pushed on the lid. Also there are small piles of dust round the edges where the dust would have fallen from the lid being slid open.

Possibly, on the other hand, the only thing we have that tells us that the tools are in this sarcophagus is the ornate nature of if.

Bill sets to moving the lid

Perception 19+8 27

The lid slides back easily and there is a note that says "Well done -P" The professor only took a few supplies from here and the inside is full of goodies.

12 silver arrows
4 Sun rods
6 flasks of holy water
10 +1 arrows
5 +1 Ghost touch arrows
2 +1 undead bane arrows
5 potions of cure light wounds
2 potions of lesser restoration
1 scroll of detect undead
2 scrolls hide from undead
1 scroll protection from evil
1 darkwood case decorated with an image of a scarab with a single eye glaring from its back (the same design from the book)

Bill hears a sound behind him. Spinning around you see 2 giant centipedes moving quickly across the room.

Spring quickly draws his warhammer. I hate bugs. Especially ones that are larger than me. Let's get 'em. We should focus on that one on the left.

If that's the way you want to play it, Bill says as he draws his dueling sword and dagger.

Beware their poisonous bite

Spring moves in to a combat position. He's practiced quite a lot in 20 years of Dwarven military service. Gotcha, I can handle poison but only after combat.
