Rahasia, Part II

Session IX 4/25/365

A quick rest and the party explores the temple under Grey Mountain once more. Through our explorations we rescued a fighter named Beik from the Casdian region of Bengalia. He had been hunting the Rahib for crimes against his people and for serving the so-called "Master of the Desert Nomads". (Beware, future plot hook). Also in the prison cells is Hasan, the betrothed of Rahasia. The haughty prince-to-be has long standing issues with our elven sorcerer Doc, but they are set aside for the time being. The overconfident and xenophobic Hasan reluctantly accepts the party's help upon hearing that the Rahib is no more, but that there are some evil witches somewhere nearby that may need to be dealt with. The next item to check off is the rescue of the elven maidens.

Xavier engages in some odd behavior, obsessing over the bones of the dead elves that are found at the bottom of a pit. After some wrangling and some heavy lifting, the bones are dragged with us for the rest of the session.

This session also featured an encounter with a great clay statue that turned out to be a four-armed bone golem. When this thing came alive, it was very frightening. Xavier was quite put off by the experience, and has since taken to slashing at least once at every statue we encounter. Near the large chamber a gelatinous cube is found, which brings horrifying memories to Lume's mind. Some of the 'slimebane' concoction found earlier works wonders on the thing.

A teleporting hallway leads to some confusion and a chance encounter wih a group of rogues led by a thief named Takius. After some tense moments, the two parties agree to cooperate to get out of the maze. On the way to the surface, the groups happen upon a very large black widow spider. After defeating the great arachnid, Xavier collects some poison from its carcas. The rest of the party begins to wonder about their odd party member.

you forgot to mention that Xavier walked right into the spider room and didn't tell anyone else it was tehre.. Yes, I am just a little bitter about that one.
