Khepri, a female warrior from Old Neeshfal, has been sent by Borlon to check on the party. She makes it to the water-filled room of the temple when 20 mosquitoes attack her.
The party (Idky, Yavin, Athos, Artec, Katya, Sabrina, Ishmopah, and Hamish) hears an unfamiliar female screaming in the hallway outside, and several of them run to investigate. By the time they arrive, two have stuck themselves into Khepri. Idky goes down, getting pierced in an internal organ. Khepri is in a bad way. Katiya nabs one of the mosquitoes off of her. Unfortunately, she goes down from loss of blood. Yavin is able to successfully mesmerize some of them during the combat, keeping her from completely bleeding out.
They tend to Idky and bring up Khepri. She explains that since the party has been gone for nearly a month Borlon sent her to check up on them. She brings food! She hands Artec a light arrow to shoot out the door as a signal to Borlon that she has arrived.
They move on down one of the passages. They encounter a three-part mechanical trap. Unfortunately, he sets off the deadfall trap, which drops a gigantic stone block on him. He manages not to get completely crushed, but seven wraiths seep out of the cracks and attack. Ishmopah turns two right off the bat.
After a brief battle, during which Athos loses two levels, they defeat the wraiths. As they are discussing next steps, 15 zombies come marching down the passageway they had come down. They find out pretty quickly they are juju zombies. They hold them off at the entrance to the passage. Katiya hits one with Melf’s acid arrow, and Ishmopah (in were-form) leaps into the melee, while Hamish and Yavin keep them from spilling into the passage. They finish them off and continue contemplating their next step.
Eeps to this point (includes Ish and Artec): 3570 each
Idky casts two stone shapes on the stone blocking the hallway so they can pass. Down the corridor, they see a flickering light in the distance. In the way is a pit full of bones. Idky casts stone shape to create a 2-foot wide lip for the party to cross along the edge of the pit. As they start to cross, the bones form a shape and burst out of the pit, screaming. Yavin, Katiya and Khepri fall victim to the fear effect. Katiya and Yavin flee mindlessly back the way they came. Upon reaching the block, Katiya stops and starts bashing against the block. Yavin crawls through and continues running. Khepri panics and tries to grab Athos to use him as a human shield.
Hamish engages the bone golem. As he moves to the other side of the pit, a will-o-wisp leads the two wraiths to him. He turns to engage them. Meantime, Athos goes out onto the ledge to grab Yavin’s demon-slaying sword but gets badly damage by the bone golem for his trouble. Idky moves to engage the bone golem along with Athos. The will-o-wisp starts attacking Athos from behind. Sabrina joins Athos attacking the will-o-wisp.
The bone golem laughs, which causes Athos to stop and stand there screaming. Sabrina jumps between him and the creature. Hamish destroys the golem and heads back to the other side and interposes between Sabrina and will-o-wisp. Now Idky and Hamish are attacking, but only Hamish is able to hit it. Sabrina grabs Athos and drags him to safety. Hamish finishes it off.
