Cloe, Flint, Isaac, Su, Sabuto, and Orn were joined by Jack as they searched the huge chamber where the party had fought the army of skeletons and zombies. They found a magically trapped chest and a magical chasm with steaming vapors rising up. Ignoring the chest for the moment, the group set about crossing the chasm. Orn dimension doored himself across while Sabuto drank 1/2 of his potion of flight and flew himself, Cloe, and Su across. It was at this moment that eight shadows swept out to attack, a moment before a skeleton pulled a lever and sent a flare of flame into the chasm, burning only Su.
Cloe and Orn made short work of the eight shadows and their two skeleton allies. Sabuto charge a lich-like being on a throne, taking out the greater skeleton in a single hit! Using their abilites to turn, the clerics kept the undead under control while the heroes made sort work of them, Jack and Su proving to be surprisingly effective.
The group then explored the chamber, finding an ancient throne room with a damaged bronze throne, more flame jets, and strange mosaics of an archaic nature. Jack also found a secret door which ultimately lead to another such door and a passage deeper in the dungeon.
The group finished their exploration and turned to the chest. Using a warp wood, Cloe sprung the contrainer, but in addition to the treasure, another minor death appeared! Sabuto, however, also made quick work of this one with a single kiaied distance death! Unfortunately, his previously-gained scar burned as he did so, causing him three points of damage that magic cannot heal (sorry, Ray! Didn't have a chance to play this out at the game!).
The group then went for the two treasure chests the lower-level party had left in their wake. One was quickly searched, but the other was filled with a foul, green, magical cloud that darkened cloth, rotted iron, and turned gold to lead. Cloe got out of the way in time, but Sabuto wasn't so lucky. Flint dashed in to help and also succumbed. Orn dimension doored himself and Isaac to safety. Cloe tried to get Flint out, but wasn't quite strong enough. Then the gas burned into the men's skins...Orn used a zone of sweet air to contain the gas while Cloe dragged Flint to safety. Su dashed in to save Sabuto, but couldn't get him clear before the cloud hurt him further. Finally the group escaped, with Cloe using neutralize poisons to minimize the effects of the toxin, although Sabuto still is feeling the damage (-5 Con...)
Cloe and Orn each conjured a dest devil to clear away the gas, but there was no treasure to be found. The heroes gathered what they had found and returned to the Destiny.
