The heroes (Idky, Torr with Zayüß, Yavin, Ichi, Arthur, and Athos) found themselves attacked by undead samurai!
Torr gets attacked by the ronin in the well while the party up above likewise gets attacked by three more ronin. Ichi, Athos, and Yavin move to attack while Idky starts casting prayer (which gets interrupted) and Arthur levitates.
After an exchange of blows, the undead ronin realize they are in trouble and activate their ki abilities. Arthur’s magic missiles don’t pierce their magic resistance. Yavin gets critically hit and drops his flaming sword.
Things aren’t going so well up top. Torr finishes off his opponent using his flaming mace and heads up to help out. Athos flees and tries to sneak up behind one to body chuck him. Yavin attempts to faerie fire but also can’t penetrate the undeads' magic resistance.
Athos body chucks Torr’s opponent, but the touch activates a fear effect, and he runs away screaming. Idky casts prayer as Ichi and Torr continue with the last two.
Finally, the ki power wears off, and the ronin start to weaken, but the heroes have taken a beating. Torr manages to finish off another one, so he and Yavin help out Ichi and Idky with the last one and finish it off. Athos is still running off toward the water.
The party heals up and searches the bodies. Afterward, they head back over the river to the city to look for a place to rest up, and hopefully nap. It is a ghost town. They find an intact structure that will fit the entire party as well as Zayüß. Ichi, Arthur, Yavin, and Idky nap first while Torr, Zayüß and Athos stay on watch.
Eeps for dragon and ronin: 9500 each (all but Athos), 4500 for Athos.
While Torr, Zayüß, and Athos are napping, they see seven creatures who seem to have been hunting for them. They are eight feet tall, black skin, bat wings, clawed feet, and the heads of tusked monkeys (minions of the dukes of thunder). They charge the group.
Idky goes to wake up Torr while Arthur casts a lightning bolt at a group of them, but it doesn’t do a whole lot. Yavin rushes to take on the two, activating speed. Ichi picks up four of the five coming from the other direction. They are tough! Another arrives after everyone gets up and goes for Yavin.
Torr, now awake but basically naked except for his sword and shield, goes to help out Ichi, who has taken a tremendous beating. Ichi seems to get a second wind (called his speed ability), however, and clears out all of the opponents on that side of the building. Athos gets knocked unconscious during the fight. The final one, near death, calls on his gods, to no avail. He goes down, and the group heals up. Unfortunately, Athos is very badly scarred and concussed. A cure serious wounds takes care of that.
Skipping a further nap for Torr, Zayüß, and Athos, the heroes make their way back to the graveyard across the river to heal up before looking for a way to the sunken temple. Idky casts find the path on Torr to find the way to the sunken temple. They race off toward the back of the cemetery. Near the back of one of the hills, they find a bunch of tombs but are directed to one tomb not built into the cliff overgrown with brambles and small trees. They find a tomb with an eagle symbol on it. Idky lighten loades the granite block so Torr can move it out of the way. A disembodied voice speaks in a language they can’t understand. They go in to Poh Ni’s tomb. They find a coffin flanked by clay boats. Beyond, a large panel is open and they hear running water. There is a big statue of a cat-headed entity standing in the middle of the tomb. Its eyes are glowing red. Torr senses they must go toward the running water...
