Session 35 Intro - Amongst the Dead...Again

27th Uktar 1371 DR
Mid-Morning
Waterdeep, Fields of Triumph, below the arena
Cold and damp

Having just destroyed a number of undead Kyuss Spawn, the Heroes find themselves in a dank and damp stone passage. To the west is a circular room that slopes downward to a center open pit leading to pure foulness from the smell. To the east a passage that ends in a doorway. A crimson banner hangs on the south wall along this passage complete with strange markings displaying a symbol of three dead gods (Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul) encircled in a silver circle.

The bodies of the creatures still squirm with movement as worms writhe within. They are hopelessly hacked and burned, so it seems like they pose no danger, but they still are very creepy. At least two of them bear the markings of merchants and still have full sets of hair as if they were recently created(infested). The whole situation is both morbidly foul and sad at the same time. These were probably good men at one time...recently. Egwaine is particularly vexed by the situation and has to take a moment to collect herself and quietly utters a prayer to Kelemvor that she may stop this madness and return a natural balance to the abdominal situation these worms pose.

Menelvagor takes particular notice to the worms moving under the flesh of the now still (mostly) bodies of the Kyuss Spawn. Within one of the bodies that was not burned, the worms seem to writhe as if preparing to leave the body.

Rumple notices movement to the east beyond the doorway. He points to the shadows that can be seen under the doorway silhouetted by the light of the room beyond.

Tread carefully Heroes; You are in an apparently EEEEEVIL place.
