Shrouded Dead

The party entered a room that was a cross between a crypt and a laboratory.  Several stone sarcophagi stood in the room, along with a table covered with papers, vials, beakers and strips of linen cloth.  Melisana had determined that these items could be used for mummification.  The body on the floor was left incomplete.  As Mara picked up a small piece of metal that she thought could be a key, the corpse arose.

Chorus of the Dead

The party found themselves in a chapel?  Pews, an altar and two candelabra were present in the chamber.  Melisana moved forward to inspect the altar and Pretis moved into the narrow passageway leading east.  Mara had examined the small alcove to the west.  As everyone but Demin had entered the room a mass of roiling darkness with stricken faces appearing and disappearing across the surface emerged from the east, west and southern walls.

Nothing to See

After the completing the circuitous path the the Doors to Nowhere the party saw through an open doorway into a larger dark room.  Lythandar used his light capability to illuminate at least part of the area.  This room once had painted figures on the walls.  The group could make out humanoid shapes, and they could see shallow indentations that might have held circular pieces of glass.  Now only broken shards covered the floor.  Of more interest were the skeletons and a Bone Naga in the area.

Shadow Engine

The party had destroyed Acererak's shadow engine but they were in a battle against the Acererak Construct.  Demin continued to shoot his crossbow at the Construct, move his glove to a gem and pick it up.  Mara, Pretis and Gofin kept up their attacks on the Construct while Lythandar climbed out of the pit.  Alhellara was still on the rope above Demin attempting to inflict Radiant damage. 

Daunting Doors

As the party entered the octagonal chamber they saw a low round dais in the center of the room on top of which were four carved faces of the Devourer.  These faces looked just like the faces in the bottom of the Black Well.  From a pile of bones on the dais a huge creature knitted itself together.  It was composed of bones body parts of various kinds.  Pretis moved to flank the creature and planted the banner.  Mara moved in toward the creature as Demin fired his crossbow.

Boneyard Bridge

The party continued in the ossuary with Pretis and Mara on the floor, Demin and Alhellara standing on the ledge and the rest of the party on the bone bridge.  Gofin was attacked by a Phantom which then disappeared seemingly into Gofin's body.  Demin continued to fire crossbow bolts at the nearest phantom while moving away from the black fluid dripping down the walls.  Mara and Pretis continued to battle Tormentors while managing to not sink into the bone covered floor.  Lythandar and Melisana used area burst to injure as many enemies as possible.

Gifts from the Dead

A foreboding pit filled with fungus stood between the party and what they believe is the exit from the Feywild Ruin.  The table didn't seem to be an option here as the wood was rotting away.  Gofin and Demin were averse to attempting a climb of the walls above the pit given previous trials.  The fungus was wet and did not burn, spores appeared above the fungus whenever something was thrown into the pit.  Melisana decided to use Angelic Blades to fly across the pit carrying her rope with her.  When she landed Lythandar and Melisana found that trying to drive pitons to stake the rope was beyond difficult as the floor and walls were like chalk which broke easily.
