The heroes (Flint, Chloe, Isaac, Su, Orn, Zhiir, Omar, and Mandar with Maroud) pressed farther into the lower levels of the catacombs. The group soon found the burial place of the first Caliph of Muluk, Amakin. After battling ghouls and shadows in the area, the heroes discovered that not only his grave, but those of his sons and grandsons were completely empty. The heroes then encountered a huge host of skeletons, as well as another spell-casting ghûl, which they destroyed. Meanwhile, Isaac and Zhiir, acting as the party's rear-guard, battled a second ghûl, which they ultimately lead back to the main group to destroy.
Not wishing to push their luck, the heroes headed back, expecting to find their relief. Instead, they found the remains of their relief, all slain by a crimson death. Amazing, the party managed to destroy the gaseous horror through excellent teamwork -- Flint protected Omar and then was protected by Mandar, etc. The heroes gathered the bodies of the more prominent of the fallen and decapitated the rest, to ensure they could not be animated.
