Summary Game #8:
Players: Vincent, Alex, Steve, Benoit
They continued to perform in all the Challenges of the game and won the flag snatching game easily.
Then came the last challenge where they had to wrestle in mud to try and push their opponent out of the ring.
Mithran and Ragnarok competed against each an opponent and Ragnarok won easily while Mithran struggled and almost won, but ended up loosing.
With a tie of 1 to 1, a third member was supposed to compete, but one of them suggested to let the two winners compete against each other, thus letting Ragnarok compete once more against the dragonborn winner from the other team. Ragnarok won!
As winners, they were compensated and given the prizes white Tabitha got the book she wanted.
The group spend the rest of the evening and most of the night, enjoying the party, visiting the castle, taking some 'drug sample' and having all kinds of fun. Some of them went out, visiting the district as well as visiting Khalahan and Fuller, just to try and find possible building where they could build a Tunnel from and to Barranor, but they didn't find any abandoned housing near the wall.
They returned to Barranor the next morning as reminded by Tabitha; that if they didn't return, it would make it much harder for her to get blue tickets in the future.
They learned about Zephyrus's death along with two other members of the Red Gates, murdered by the Maleekym during the same night they were at the party.
Vumpek was asked by Sylvester to think about another member to replace Zephyrus as his right hand.
Another week went by with the whole guild on alert against the Maleekym.
Our group returned to their usual activities until Tchignak got in touch with Nanouk, asking him to clean up a rubble blocking a corridor in the Catacomb of Phandrak.
Tchignak provided a rough sketch map to Nanouk and warned him not to open any sarcophagus.
The group went to talk with the Cathedral High Priest 'Kharn' and he gladly allowed them to enter the Catacomb, stating that he never actually went in there and had been warned by the previous High Priest to never open any sarcophagus and also, that maybe some other creatures had started living down there since it wasn't being used nor cleaned for many years before.
The group went into the catacomb, exploring the place a little and found a strange Shrine of the Goddess Leira. There was an altar before the statue with two bowls filled with mercury. Nanouk noticed some runes and decided to activate the magic within this unique Artifact. They were caught into the Leira's Dual Realm of Illusion for a while, but eventually managed to get out when Ragnarok successfully blocked the mercury link between the two bowls while Mithran and Nanouk were stuck inside.
They explored the Catacomb a little further and as much as Mithran desired strongly to open one of the sarcophagus and wanted to explore even more, they decided to stick to the straightest route towards the rubble place before exploring further.
What awaits them around the next corner?
