Sunsebb 7
Into the Tomb
Party ventures into the Tomb of the Hextor, finds an unlooted secret room. Hogarth misses a wail of the banshee trap which nearly kills him and Fonteyn, forcing the party to recreate with an iron-sided chest they'd found. This chest yields a pile of goal, a potion rack made of iron and filled with steel vials containing a variety of potions.
Stymied, and with Hogarth near death, the Blackrazors retreat to the basement of the ruined Blackrazor Manor House to rest. As they do so, they also use the guild's magical slate to identify and divide up their loot.
Silas takes the Tome of Clear Thought. Hogarth takes the slippers of spider climbing, Thorin gets the ring of water walking. Silas takes the Tome of Clear Thought. Rex takes the heavy mace of thundering (which has six-headed lightening bolts on the head, and occasionally rumbles faintly -1 to move silently checks). Fontain takes the ring of the ram. Ring of the Chameleon Power goes Hogarth.

Unbeknownst to the Blackrazors however, a massacre is unfolding in the guild courtyard as they debate the merits of each treasure item. When they emerge, they find that Blackrazors are running screaming for their lives as skeletal, five-headed hydras appear, snatching at whatever victims are too slow (or too drunk) to escape them. Ian, as well as a handful of other higher level Blackrazors -- such as the gnome Cocyx --attempt to deal with this threat and the small horde of fast moving humanoid skeletons that soon joins the fight.
