Session notes for November 18, 2020
When we enter the temple Marusan is gone, The skylight has been replaced. Everything looks like it did the first time we saw it.
Leaf shoots the skylight with the rod of Pann-Severi. It emits a bright white light and everyone is blinded.
After a while we recover our sight. Leaf wants to try again. The rest of us leave the room. This time the rod shoots a fireball and explodes the skylight.
We check the statue of Moloch. The rope is gone. Marusan is not in it. The tubes are still cut.
The tombs in the side rooms are open and empty. No undead or weapons lie within.
We check Marusan's study. EVerything is like it was when we left it. The chests are open and empty.
We check the supply room. It's been cleared out. No supplies left in it.
In the secret room behind the temple Caper looks for a trap door and finds a loose flagstone. We lift the stone and find a tunnel with steep stairs leading down.
Leaf pokes his head through the hole in the floor and looks around with his dark vision. He sees a hall with a door at the end and light shining under it from the next room.
We go down into the hall and I check the door. We look under it and check through the keyhole. We see skeleton bones.
Caper checks for traps on the door but he can't tell if it's trapped. He tries to open the door wide. But it's locked. He tries the keys from the jailor and one of them opens the door. He opens the door wide. There are 5 skeletons and Marusan at his desk. He looks bad.
Leaf shoots a fireball into the room with the rod. Caper slams the door shut to protect the party.
When we open the door they are all dead in the room. Caper pours some of the jailor's potion on Marusan.
We smash the skeleton bones into small pieces and throw them into a nearby creek. We burn Marusan in a huge fire outside.
Leaf hits the metal statue with a beam from the rod. It gets 50% bigger and now it barely fits in the temple.
We go outside and look through the papers and books in our packs for information about the rod. Back inside we go through Marusan's library. We find nothing about the rod but we do discover that the potion was supposed to be drunk by Marusan before he died. So all we know is that the rod is chaotic and that Marusan is probably coming back.
We decide to camp instead of going back to town.
At midnight we hear scraping from inside the temple. We light torches and go in. The scraping is the skylight glass golem reassembling.
We hear noises from the tomb rooms. The bones are reforming and dropping out of the air onto the floor.
We throw the bones into the tombs putting the heads together, arms together, etc. so there is no complete skeleton in any tomb. We cover the tombs with the lids. Finch the raccoon hears something in Marusan's study. Leaf talks to Finch. The sound is snoring.
Opening the door we see Marusan sleeping on the bed.
Caper sneaks into the room and pours the potion into Marusan's mouth just as he wakes. He chokes on the potion. Leaf chops his head off. Marusan glows green and dissipates into the air. We're pretty sure that this time he is dead.
I mean really dead. (Not mostly dead.)
