Having come face to face with a ghost…the ghost that drove the tower occupants mad…the party leapt into battle, attacking with cold steel space stars (found on the body of the mysterious humanoid killed by the Grey Guardian) and Skarrow's magically flaming scythe, they made short work of the infernal being, but not before Shiv Drinkstep touched the foul thing and aged 10 years. Cleansing Waters aged 19. But the being from beyond was defeated, and the party was able to search the room.

They found a trapped chest, but Greer the Betrayer was able to disable the mechanism, and they found a trove of delicious loot inside, including a mirror for looking around corners, a bejeweled lion broach that Shiv Drinkstep took to hold his sabretooth tiger cloak together. They also found some kind of magic gauntlets and another potion.

They also discovered a strange telescope of lizardfolk design pointed at a site not too distant. A site that seems to match up with the map taken from the body of the fallen visitor killed by the Grey Guardian. It appeared to be an ancient ruin of some kind, with carved faces around the entry and a slew of Urgot standing guard.

The party finally reached the The Prison of Yol-Uzarc-Drem! They cut their way through the guards and entered the crumbling ruins. More urgot were dispatched as they made their way through the living quarters. They found a strange alcove containing a sarcophagus, but were too chicken to do anything with it and backed out of the room slowly.

They found a passageway that seemed to have suffered a cave-in, but Greer the Betrayer was able to pick his way through, discovering more Urgot engaged in a bizarre ritual, chanting in front of a giant grotesque statue while yellow ichor dripped from the walls. Soon, a spine demon emerged and the party fled! The chasing Urgot triggered another cave-in, effectively blocking the passageway forever. We shall never know what lurks beyond (or how many hours the GM put into an encounter that will never happen).

Where does the party go now? Do they return to Crow's Keep to see what damage the Grey Guardian has wrought? Do they attempt to decipher the map fragment found on Osha of the Fang Clan's body? Do they proceed to Melek to help stir a war?

Tune in next time for the continuing saga of The Tales of the Green Dragon Brotherhood
