The Mouth of the Sleeper
A High Standard
…continues from Book #01, Chapter #10, Scene #14
Synopsis
2nd Day of Tarsakh in the Year of the Sudden Journey
Battling at the summit of the white face adorned hill in the Coilwood, the heroes manage to overcome a
force of orcs and the reappearance of strange black creatures. Exploring the domed chambers within they
force open a secret door, and are besieged by a statue. Dusting themselves down they continue to explore
further below and stumble upon a bloody figure. The eyeless figure seems to have more than thoughts in
its head, spewing forth more black abominations but the heroes managed to overthrow them. Deciding to
venture south, rather than risk the blade bridges they find to the east, the encounter a sprung trap,
but the corpses of past victims appear to rise against them. After dispatching the hung victims and
discovering parchment upon parchment, they return to the bridges and spring a trap, eventually overcoming
a giant orb of a zombie with a missing eye. Navigating an eyeball contraption and descending further
they arrive in what appears to be a ritual chamber, but with dead bodies strewn around. Examination of a
strange bloodied cloth on a stone reveals more than what Khalin hopes for. As black abominations descend
from a portal above the party battles valiantly, finally warding them off and destroying the portal.
