We are at the crossroads inn, and Elauthin shows up and joins us.

During our free breakfast, two people come into the inn looking for us. They hand us an order from the church. There is an area near here that was a priory carved into a valley by Dwarves, including an ossuary (where bones were kept). The people there including two brothers that were a political power, became less godly and one brother started into the dark arts. The other one started doing mystical things. They rebelled and eventually the area was collapsed on top of them. Recently there have been “bad things” showing up there. Expeditions were sent to clear things out and nothing came back. The church sealed off the whole canyon and sealed the whole thing off and put up wards. They ask us to check it out and the cleric of the two says that he’s seen very nasty things there.

Filarion tells us what he knows of the area, and it appears that it’s less than a day’s ride. We pack up and leave right away. On the way, Filarion tells Elauthin all about our adventures and almost getting killed.

During our ride, we hear a huge noise coming from the left side of the King’s Road. We quickly hide in the thick brush across the road and we see two giant ogres crashing through the brush. We hear from behind them something coming, Elauthin says that it’s a “boulet” which is a very large carnivore. From several attacks we take down both the ogres and the boulet itself. We take off.

 

A few miles down the road, we smell something horrible. Elauthin looks nearby and finds a pile of flesh that has all of the bones taken out of it. We’ve never heard of anything like this before. Elauthin wants to take some of the meat to eat but Hadrian says that it is cursed and not to eat it.

We continue on and see the entrance to what used to be the valley. It looks like the wards have been broken. We rest for a while and then continue through. It is very narrow here but soon it opens up to be wider. We see a graveyard nearby that looks disturbed. Hardian tells us to be careful because this area looks evil.

Suddenly a ton of skeletons pop out of the ground around us and a “grave golem” made up of gravestones, grass and mud rises up. Dardenne uses lightning to damage several of the skeletons. Elauthin takes out tons of them with arrows. Filarion stands in the middle of the fray and creates a cloud of daggers in front of the golem. Dardenne, Elauthin and Darius yell at him to move out of the way and he finally does. Dardenne casts Ray of Frost on the golem a couple of times. Hadrian finally shield bashes and destroys it. When all of the skeletons are destroyed, they fade into the earth.

 

 

We move on and see a gigantic church. Darius sneaks inside and informs us that there is something big inside, along with what seems to be the two brothers.

We head in and we see the two “wight brothers,” one of whom is a cleric in big armor and the other is a wizard. They have a giant bone golem. Hadrian and Filarion move in to attack and Elauthin and Dardenne stay back for ranged attacks. We take both of them out, while they grumble about having to fight us. With his dying breath, the wizard sunders the altar and the bone golem re-forms. We kill it again before it fully forms.

 

The party checks the area for loot and we find tons of gold, jewels and magic loot.
