Have You Seen the Necromancers? (Session 37)

 SESSION 37: Have you seen the Necromancers of Set? (2JAN17)

            Returning to Helix to exchange, unload and recruit. Huffnpuff was happy to change coin for gems at a very reasonable rate. The request for burglars resulted in two halflings, Krisko and his half-wit partner Odo, joining the herd. They then ate, drank and had a good nights sleep in the barracks before heading back to the barrows. Their pile of dead ogres from two days past attracted a mob of carrion worms that were not adverse to live food. Upon returning to Barrowmaze they were greeted by the Housepants grisly unlike, much to Brule’s horror. This greeting included a life-draining touch that nearly took Odo’s soul. After wandering around for awhile and killing things the present Mongrelmen camp was discovered and relations were strengthened at the prospect of our hobos wiping out the elusive Necromancers of Set. Two interesting keys were gifted as a down payment. An interesting tablet was found that began to paint a picture of the history of Barrowmaze and its relationship with the lost dark god of death, Nergal.

            A short while later they inadvertently released some sort of thing not of this world, a giant floating brain with tentacles that squeezed the very life from Kelloc. Popped him good and messy like. It seemed that this beast was a guard to the tomb of Vermingtrix the Reaver. An armor clad dead thing that burst into flame as it attempted to destroy all life. Its hatred fueled an intense close quarters battle. Eventually the hobos insatiable urge for treasure sent Vermingtrix back into the ground. The looting was good and we had reached the 8 hour point in the day a short rest was needed as the next steps were considered.
