Game paused for dinner….

The party leaves the rats behind on level 1 and returns to level 2, stopping first to check out the ghoul caves. They initially were thrilled for the arrival of dinner, but Koltic disabused them of that idea, and sent their rotten souls back to whatever hell they crawled from. A few of the stronger ones, the ghasts, got away. It was decided that crawling through earthen ghoul tunnels didn’t seem the wisest of choices, so the party headed back toward Sarek’s tomb. 

The golden door was again closed and locked. Morgana “knocked” it, and Aroon pushed the door open. Sarek began to repeat his monologue, while Morgana summoned a fire elemental. The meat sticks chucked vials of holy water, opting to let the elemental take the brunt of the undead lord’s cleaver of a sword. The fight was brutal, but more so for Sarek. He tried to push through the elemental, but Aroon pushed him back, even at one point throwing his sword at the death knight (?) after which Jameth stepped up to keep him from escaping the magical fire of the elemental. Morgana focused on keeping the elemental under her control, while Koltic used his faith to assist in keeping the undead monster trapped in combat. 

In a flash, Sarek was finally struck down. The once mighty general of the army of light, corrupted by Orcus and forced to endure an undying misery locked in his tomb as reward was finally freed. His mortal remains fell to dust, leaving behind only his helm and sword. No longer black and corroded, but both gleaming with their hidden holy magics. 

Aroon retried his sword, and then grabbed Sarek’s. “I am The Light!” It began to speak, but before it could get any further, he dropped it into a bag of holding. “Nice to meet you, we’ll get back to you in a bit.”

Beyond the entry chamber of the tomb was another chamber containing Sarek’s sarcophagus, shield, and a chest of treasure.
