GR1000 - "Titan" Male Warforged (Danny)

The adventurers explore the ruins of serpent hill killing skeletons and having “Titan’s” (Danny’s) bear seek out for traps, finding none. They notice the ruins are that of an ancient cult of Yuan-Ti worshipers. Exploring the tomb that has coffins and sarcophagi with a eerie green glow results in quite nervous encounters. The deeper they explore the harder the encounters with the skeletons become. Eventually they come to an old dormitory and Kriv (Jenny) explores it as the others find themselves embattled with skeletons again, Kriv (Jenny) takes some time to come help but when she does she comes charging in with a rotten table that she subsequently destroys a skeleton with.

They encountered a room with a dark shadow Veil that covers the lower parts of the room. Some of the adventurers see figures inside the veil well others just see shifting shadows. Eventually they notice that inside a pit in the room is a glowing object. Bree feeling empowered by his goddess and the wonton destruction of the unholy undead called upon his god for aid. Avandra gave him strength and the sunlight disintegrated the veil revealing three teens that were recognized by Fallen (Lexi) the teens were Kynt, Jesper and Vazia two of which were her orphaned siblings. All three were afflicted by much snakebite and obviously undead. They continued to repeat themselves and only Aella (Hava) could understand some words they spoke. Forced to fight they incapacitated the undead creatures and tied them up. The pit in the room was filled with snakes so the adventurers had to use their wits and skills to retrieve the glowing chest at the bottom. Once retrieved they found many magical items and a flowing scarf that was instantly attracted to Aella (Hava). The surmised that the scarf was semi sentient and could understand some things conversed to it. As they continued to explore looking for a way out of the tomb they noticed that although powerful the scarf which called itself the “Dark Veil” would consume corpses after the party defeated a monster. The party’s final encounter was with some Yuan-Ti skeletons and they also noticed a less than two month old corpse of a Tiefling on a ritual enacted on the floor. Close inspection revealed no knowledge about who the Tiefling was but they were able to recover a patch that showed which house the Tiefling belonged.

Player notes: Fallen (Lexi) discovered what had occurred to two of her missing siblings and is in the process of attempting to save them. Bree (Joey) had some minor interaction with his god boosting his powers to destroy the Veil.
