It was a truly marvelous night, full of alcohol and fuzzy memories. You are heading back to your rooms in high spirits when you take a wrong turn into an alley and trip over a mutilated corpse.
“What’s all this, then?” You look up to see a city guard walk into the alley, annoyed by all the noise you were making in your revelry.
Before you can react, he draws his sword. “You… what did you do?”
You look and see that, due to the fall, your clothes are now covered in blood. The guard clearly thinks you are responsible for the man’s death. This night just took a serious turn for the worse.
Llaer & Remy do their best to explain that the man was like this when they found him but attempts to explain themselves just seem to make the situation worse. More guards show up and everyone eyes you suspiciously. Luckily your weapons don’t match the man’s wounds, and the gaurds let you go, but they do so with a mistrustful glare. Lose 2 reputation
With all the commotion, it’s hard to discern more details, but the humans look like guards from Gloomhaven. You are not sure why they would be out here fighting the Inox, though.
Llaer & Remy decide to help the Inox fight off the humans. Fearing the battle could go either way, you charge into the fray, laying low the human attackers. When the dust settles, the Inox offer you a skeptical thanks.
“Humans think they own all this land,” one of the Inox says as he spits on the ground. “We thank you for helping us with the nuisance. Allow us to bless you with a gift.” Gain 1 “Necklace of Teeth”
“The last group that worked to imprison me was a guild of humans who have long since passed from this earth. Even their graves are no longer known in this time.”
“But I know. I know all.”
Visions of a tomb fill your head. It is rife with traps and other deadly instruments. You somehow have knowledge of how to find it, deep under the eastern Coppernecks.
“The vessel was buried with the head of the guild, in a tomb designed to kill all those foolish enough to enter,” the Voice says. “This will be your most difficult task. Before you can even enter the tomb, you will have to disable the defense network built around it.”
“I can show you the way inside. Once there, you will need to split up and simultaneously activate a series of switches on opposite sides of this gauntlet of pain. They thought they could hide their secrets from me, but they were mistaken.”
Sure enough, you are able to find the entrance to the tomb in a cave under the mountains. You drop down into the ruins and a blaring alarm immediately fills the room. The whole expanse before you lights up in red and a number of mummified corpses at your feet begin to stir and rise.
As we watch the action unfold through the magic of stop motion video…
From opposite ends of the network, you activate the switches in the order shown to you by the Voice. As quickly as it came, the alarm subsides and the walls of the rooms open, leading you back to the entrance. There, the center of the floor slides away, revealing a narrow ladder descending down into the dark.
“The way to the tomb is clear,” the Voice says. “Go now, and retrieve what is mine.”
