They party (Idky, Yavin, Athos, Artec, Hamish, Kinsa, and Sabrina) returns to the temple, joined by Borlon's ally, the Nereganti cleric of Sekhmet, Ishmopah. As they enter, a pair of huge spiders attack Idky. Idky and Athos get bit. The party drops them quickly, Yavin casts slow poisons, and the heroes move on. They arrive at the muddy room and encounter three raptors, which they dispatch quickly. They continue on toward the “tomb” and find a large number of dead bodies (Katya’s summoned creatures, apparently) drained of blood. Three giant mosquitoes attack the party. One gets stuck in Idky. Then two lizardmen come out, running up the walls and attacking the cleric of Fharlanghn.
Idky gets bitten and realizes they’re vampire lizard men! And that they were the lizardmen summoned by Katya! The undead are sucking the life out of him! He stumbles back and Hamish attacks the monsters. Two more lizardmen and a trog (all vampiric) show up, crawling along the ceiling. Yavin mesmerizes the mosquito stuck in Idky.
Ishmopah gets attacked by a vampire, gets angry, and transforms into a werelion. Athos starts hurling holy water. Sabrina casts magic missiles. Kinsa also starts throwing holy water and announces that there are wooden stakes in her pack, and Athos starts retrieving them.
Idky’s vampire collapses, so he moves out of the melee toward Yavin. Artec switches to his sword and starts attacking vampires. Now a new lizardman in a Krolli-poseur cloak appears in the doorway and says “You mammals have come to feed me. I thirst!” He attempts and fails to charm Kinsa. Yavin faerie fires all the vampires.
As lion-form Ishmopah is attacking the newcomer, he recognizes a necromantic fear effect go off on him, but he resists it. Athos and Sabrina start trying to stake downed vampires. Two go gaseous. Kinsa kills Idky’s mosquito.
Athos and Sabrina manage to get a stake through what they believe is the heart of one vampire, but it doesn’t work (they don’t know lizardman anatomy). Ishmopah succumbs to the vampire’s fear effect and flees. Yavin starts casting dust devil as Idky calls up a prayer and then heals himself.
Athos and Sabrina continue working on their vampire but can’t get the right spot. The main vampire poofs away, and the remaining two go gaseous. After taking some time to heal up, the heroes move into the room to look for the gaseous vampires. Sabrina casts mirror image on herself.
With detect magic up, Kinsa scans for magic traps and the gaseous vampires. They come upon four lizardmen and a troglodyte (solid) sitting in mud at the back of the room. Artec, at the back of the party, gets swarmed by six meat-eating geckos. Three attack Athos, and three go for Sabrina. Then a crackling, glowing sphere approaches them from the dead end.
The sphere hits and stuns Sabrina. Idky calls up another prayer. Kinsa casts sleep, taking out eight geckos. That’s when the main vampire appears and tries to hold the party, and fails. Ishmopah casts Eye of Ra at the main vampire. Yavin faerie fires the lot of them again.
Artec shoots at the will-o-wisp and kills it. Idky casts protection from evil 10’ radius. The party in the room gets rushed by the vampires. Hamish moves to hold them in the door but succumbs to the vampire’s gaze and is held. Fortunately, Artec rushes in to fill in his place. Ishmopah casts remove paralysis on Hamish, freeing him.
Athos rummages through Kinsa’s pack to get oil. The vampires push into the room with the party. Kinsa and Athos walk into the room, but Athos gets held by the lizardman-vampire's gaze. Kinsa takes the oil from Athos and hits a vampire with it. Ishmopah casts sundazzle and affects three of the vampire-spawn. Yavin ignites his vampire (oil-soaked) with his flaming sword. Idky removes paralysis on Hamish.
Artec causes a vampire to go gaseous, so Yavin sends his dust devil to suck it up. Yavin takes out the trog, who falls down. Kinsa gets held, and Athos hurls holy water at Hamish’s vampire.
The main vampire, frustrated that he can’t communicate with the party, runs up and attacks Yavin. Artec takes the main vampire to allow Yavin to leave with the gaseous vampire. Artec gets bitten by the main vampire. The remaining vampires go gaseous. Ishmopah joins Artec in attacking the main vampire. Athos helps Sabrina get oil, getting a little frisky with her.
Athos coats the vampire in oil. Idky gets Kinsa’s torch and lights him on fire. He’s resistant. While burning, he lunges at Idky and bites him. Meanwhile, Yavin reaches the sunstone and watches the vampire burn.
Ishmopah brings his vampire down, but it gets back up. Idky starts getting a stake out of his pack, as Artec continues to attack it. The vampire goes gaseous just as Yavin returns. The cleric of Celestian tries to have his dust devil scoop up the gaseous undead, but it fails. Kinsa follows it to keep an eye on it with the party following her. It solidifies in the hallway and moves on Yavin. Yavin takes him down, and it immediately gets back up. Artec steps in as well and sends him gaseous. The dust devil sucks it up. The party escorts him to the sunstone.
Unfortunately, when he gets to the sunstone and solidifies, he’s not burning fast enough. The party attacks him to try to keep him in the sunstone. Yavin starts casting another dust devil. Idky casts control winds to keep him in. Sabrina tosses her remaining undead repellent in the air, momentarily keeping the vampire trapped with the heroes. Yavin takes it gaseous again, the dust devil sucks the vampire up, and deposits him under the sunstone. They repeatedly beat on it until it burns up completely.
