Act 1.4 - Delian Tomb: Hall of the Brave

Assaulted by the ghoul, Vordokov feels like he's on the brink of losing consciousness. He calls upon Grole to heal him, then with a growl slams the staff again into the creature's head, hoping to end it's unnatural life.

Marbin, Vordokov, the last ghoul is destroyed.

There is just one zombie and one skeleton remaining, combat is almost over.

Shrike kicks the zombie, driving it back into the wall, and then shifts after it and, With that same super-real energy flowing through him the focus shifts to his legs as Shrike stomps down on the Zombie.

Obsidian will stand his ground and bring his great maul down for a Brutal Slam on the skeleton and then use catch breath to recover some stamina.

With the bleeding having stopped, Vordokov slowly gets up and focuses on the scene before him, sending a healing beam of light to Obsidian and a destructive one toward the skull rune.

Marbin rushes up the skeleton and stabs at it, hoping to sever a tendon.

With your combined assault, the last of the undead guardians crumble.

The glowing rune at the chamber’s center starts to dim as if starved of power. It fades to a dull red, then vanishes altogether.

As the echoes of battle fade, the room grows eerily still—until a low, rhythmic chanting seeps from behind the statue on the northern wall again. Without the clash of combat to drown it out, the words are clearer now—guttural and dark, rising and falling like a twisted prayer from beyond the grave.

After he scans the room for more threats Obsidian say"That chanting doesn't sound good."

Naercalad will enter the room and scan the surroundings, especially in the direction of the chanting.

Malfina enters the room, examines the sigil as it fades, studies the armor and weapons of thew undead, and overall takes in the details. She is trained in magic, history, blacksmithing, and monsters, after all!

Naercalad, Malfina, you inspect the statue and quickly realize it’s more than decoration — it’s a magical mechanism concealing a secret door. Naercalad spots the seams in the stonework, while Malfina senses arcane energy pulsing through it, linked to the fading necromantic magic. The chanting grows louder, clearly coming from beyond the hidden passage.

Weapons ready and eyes alert, the party steps carefully through the secret door, the noise guiding them deeper into the tomb’s shadowed heart.
