Salvation Outpost - Chapter 2

The group makes their way back up the stairs, leaving the chamber behind. They pass the fallen wolves and return to the hallway. Having been through this door before, Vice has no issues opening the locked door before them.

As the door creaks open, the group see a small central chamber, with four pillars. The room has a set of stairs on each side and heavy door directly across from them. 37 can tell the ethereal figure is in that locked room. Vice would remember the room to his right is where he had previously dropped down from the hill outside and that this is where he was first greeted by the undead protectors of this catacomb. The stairs to their left remain unexplored.

Despite knowing there are skeletons, Vice is surprised by the silence up ahead.

Everyone peers into the dark chamber ahead in anticipation.

37 leads the way down the short hall to a flight of stairs that descend into the chamber below. The light from his shield reveals the ceiling rising above the group. SheK and Vice follow behind the warforged, Peldan seemingly drifts above them as he continues to cross the ceiling. A set of stairs rises to their right, where the skeletons seem to be. To their left, another short flight of stairs leads to another room. Straight ahead is a large, ornate locked door. Once the group reaches the middle of the room, they hear the sounds of a number of crypts begin to grind and open to their right. The top of another obelisk can just be seen from below. Peldan has no issue seeing it and calls out, "We may have a moment to take action."

37’s lightning just misses the top of the obelisk. The grinding of the crypts continues.

Envy streaks through the air with its sickly green trail behind it. The magic within seems to have the desired effect, as a chunk of the obelisk flies away from the chakram’s impact with it.

Peldan moves up to get a better look from the ceiling. From his vantage point, he can see a crypt partially open and a flash of light falls into the sarcophagus.

The halfling then crawls back out of the line of fire.

The feisty half-orc prepares herself for the coming attack as the skeleton hoard begins to emerge.
