The Myste-Hass Calender

14/01/21 - 19/01/21 - 28/01/21 - 11/02/21 - 16/02/21

The Party gathers at the Temple of the People to discuss the plan. Ehecatl heads to the Temple of Imogen and speaks to the goddess herself. The group take the coffin to the Tower of Dariss and secure the coffin in the basement of the tower.

Scrying on the coffin and Datura, Rasvyn sees Datura, Milvere, the woman who sells cake in the Market Place and another tall woman. There were lots of dead crossbow people standing nearby. A pit, 60-80ft deep, full of spikes filled the floor of the natural cavern. There was only a 5ft edge around the pit, adjoined with brick corridors. Datura lay face down on a bed, blood completely drained by Gamesh. The was coffin suspended at least 60 or 80ft above the ground.

A voice was heard, someone who sounded like Gamesh -

"Do not worry children. They will come soon. They won't be able to resist you see. They will not be wise as you have become and will choose death. So be it, there are always others ready to join the family. Now come - it is your turn to give blood." Datura looked up at the ceiling, ending the scry.

The group moves out near the pyramid and waits until darkness falls in order to approach workers who are excavating the pyramid in the dark. Moving close, they discover that the workers appear to be some form of undead serpentine creatures. The party travels down the steps in the complex and search areas they’ve already been in. They encounter an evil siren woman who convinces Gartok to enter her magical pool with a giant electric eel. Further investigation reveals several trapped corridors and many painted murals. Exploring more avenues, a huge sentient worm emerges and attempts to kill the group. Retracing their steps, the group discover a hidden passageway behind a painting. Moving through the ancient corridors, another trap is triggered and Rasvyn has to dimension door Harbinger and himself to safety. Moving into another large chamber the group are ambushed by vampires, including Datura. Fighting commences but the group cannot prevent Datura from escaping. Hot in pursuit, they follow her along further passages to a room filled with beetles attracted to magic. Further movement causes two doors to lock half the party in a passage filled with sand. Rasvyn uses a patch from his coat to create a window and the trapped adventurous escape and retrace their steps, rising through the pyramid and arriving in a cat room. Ehecatl and Harbinger touch something they shouldn’t and then a cat-man statue comes to life and attacks. Investigation down a number of corridors reveals further horrors. Eventually, a secret door is found from the giant tiger paw, the group meander through until a secret door leads to the vampire performing a ritual to bring forth a white woman. Rasvyn dispels the magic on the Genai Stone fuelling the ritual to destroy the summoned women, the goliath turns to mist and Ehecatl destroys it with spiritual guardians. Datura collapses with no pulse. As dawn rises, Dramos opens a teleportation portal out of the pyramid and back to the Temple of Imogen in Myste-Hass. Maolmhuire heads to the Temple of Garr to seek advice from Mehklan and Heller. Mehklan secretly guides Maolmhuire toward a ritual circle. Rasvyn, Maolmhuire and Dramos are transported to another plane and must present themselves to an angelic-like creature, offering a trade of the bone devil in the Soul Jar for Datura. The resurrection is successful.
