SESSION 55: I Have a Bad Feeling About This… (20Sept17)
Who in their right mind would return to town when there is secret door right freaking there? So, we opened it. Revealing a short corridor ending in an elaborate cover stone. Depicting an ancient hero with shield and spear – Uthak Amon Thar. Prying their way into the tomb they came to what appeared to be Thar’s final resting place. Some searching revealed an ‘inconsistency’ on one of the walls but no solution to it was found. This then led us to fiddling with the crypt’s centerpiece the magnificent sarcophagus. It was a trap, triggered by disturbing the cap stone. The lid was actually a barrow guardian and it caused some significant challenge. First braining Lenardo with its shield and then burying its spear in Sloth’s chest. The latter of whom was one pump of the heart away from bleeding out.
After smashing the guardian into smithereens and addressing the nearly dead, the crypt was looted. A secret secret door button was found and activated. Another corridor leading to a steel door that opened on approach. Definitely not a warning sign or any such thing...
Welcome to the first chamber of the ‘Trial of the Hunt. The door behind sealed itself, the frescos came to life and battle ensued we were re-living Thar's greatest victories including bears, hellhounds and man-eating apes - Oh my!. Rinse and repeat, wave after wave. Reaching the third chamber something different occurred. Rather than the 10-headed hydra and Tyrannosaurus Rex coming to life our intrepid hobos went to them. Dimensionally shunted to a time and place eons ago, to a dreadful and primordial island.
They fell from the heavens and hit the beach on the north-eastern edge of the island. Shit just got stranger. Thankfully the beach was very, very, very soft.
We were about to discover the Dark of Hot Springs Island.
