In the aftermath of the Tomorast induced traumas the party gibbers a bit in abject terror, then gets down to the business of looting and scooting. Humbar is raised and healed. A few spells reveal all that is of magical nature and a few minutes of poking and prying produces some goods and Tomorast’s personal diary. An angry wall hanging tries to kill Humbar, but it is slain before too much harm can be inflicted, thanks to Dalliance’s innovative use of Gaseous Form spells. The wall hanging seems to evoke the mobile Desert City of the Invincible Overlord, but the landscape is alien and there are two suns in the sky.
Bags are filled and a brief debate is floored, with the end result that one more door will be considered and then it will be time to go.
The one more door formula yields some more swag and magic goods. Once all that is good is gotten, the feet are engaged and the party retreats to the cliffs overlooking the area and cold-camps. In the morning, Dalliance teleports everyone to Thudheim and Reza rejoins them.
Goods are evaluated, much cursed magic is rejected, much monetary wealth is garnered. Barada reports that the party is being scryed, and this reignites the terror. Feeling that staying on the move is the best defense, the group rapidly turns around and heads back out into the desert from which they just escaped, this time wandering weeks into the heart of the wasteland until they discover a small cave-like opening in the sandstone cliffs left behind by the Desert City of the Invincible Overlord. Slithering into the antechamber, they encounter two statues (one upright, one smashed), and fifteen men (all smashed).
The smashing reason becomes apparent when the remaining statue animates and begins to smash everyone in sight, ignoring the spells and missile weapons of the group, slaying Lubbutch and nearly killing Humbar before it is defeated.
Pausing to catch their breath, the group ponders the tomb entrance and tries to work out how to break in…
