Heroes: Aeronne the Paladin of Athena, Ichi the Monk, Mikhail the Psi, Tiana the Water Priestess, Malok the Mage, Low Dog the Totemic Warrior, and Tolus the Fighter
The party moves to the next room after a rest and some healing by Aeronne, Low Dog, and Tiana. They open the door and a blackness falls on the aprty. Ichi can see a chest with a lock and Malok casts dark vision. Aeronne senses evil though and advises the party. Mikhail senses fear and desperation. He manages to calm the spirit and Low Dog casts speak with lesser spirit. He finds the spirt of a woman who wants to take over a body to escape. Aeronne refuses as she is evil and wants to take a body. They leave the room and move to the next. There is a red spot in the middle of the room with an arrow on it. Mikhail TK’s the crystal key to himself and hands it to Tiana. It explodes in her hand as the red circle rises into a blob. The party runs into the room and attacks. The red blob keeps dividing, but is eventually defeated.
Malok borrows Mikhail’s telekinesis wand and sends a blob piece into the lock, destroying it. Tiana casts invisibility to undead on Ichi as he goes it and destroys the remains of the lock. Miniature skeletons start pouring out. Malok acts instinctively, warns Ichi, and blasts the room with a fireball. Unfortunately Ichi is hit, but many of the skeletons and a ghost are hit. 50 of the little guys came out and those killed by the fireball turn into unclean spirits. That party engages the mini undead army as Mikhail blast the ghost with positive energy, disintegrating her. Another fireball goes off as Aeronne blow the skeleton forms away on twelve, releasing the unclean spirits. A lot are killed and many turned into unclean spirits. Aeronne turns man more and Malok blasts them with another fireball. It kills half of them and they charge back in. Tolus is having his strength drained by the attacking creatures. Ichi is also hit and drained of dexterity. The party keeps fighting and eventually brings them all down.
The party is softened up by the battle, but Tiana finds the key in what is left of the wooden lead lined chest and finishes the Chaos Key. It starts swirling and growing larger than itself. Most of the party is hypnotized by the swirling patterns. Tiana takes the key and tells Tolus she will wait with the wizard's ghost while they search the alcoves for secret passages that might lead to the new area. He agrees and leads the rest of the party to the first alcove.
Once Tiana enters the wizard's room, he yells out when he sees the key. He impresses upon her that they must enter the central part of the shrine now or those that are looking for the key will find them. Tiana says they are looking for the passage and the party will be back shortly when they find it. She can't be with them as the key hypnotized them. He said the effects will wear off, but they have to go now!. She sighs and says fine. She then leaves the room, calls for the party and they head down the Escher-like stairs. Ichi blindfolds himself so as not to be distracted by the key's swirling patterns. His all around sight allows him to move without his eyes, but it goes offline once they enter the stairs. The passage does its best to confuse the party, but they manage to make it through unscathed, all feeling the pull of chaos but resisting. They have now entered the lower level of the shrine.
