The Statue and the Shadows

After defeating the ghouls, the party entered a chamber that had several skeletons shackled to the walls, and a wooden statue in an alcove. The statue featured a gaunt pale man, wearing a dark cloak, with one hand resting on the head of a large wolf, and the other holding a glass sphere.

Klildar reached out and grabbed the sphere, that apparently triggered some arcane protection, summoning five shadows that proceeded to attack the party. The fight was brief and didn't cause too much harm. Linus analysed the sphere and even though it is not magical in nature, it can be used as a spell focus.

Ear to the Mimic-Door

With the shadows defeated, Alfbern took the lead exploring a corridor that had a door at the end. Trying to identify any creatures behind the door, the druid took his ear to it, only to get it stuck! The door revealed itself to be a mimic, and a fight ensued. The party retreated back into the previous room and took the creature out quick enough.

A Rotten Couple

The chamber behind the door was more like a private dining room, that lead to a bedroom, where the party found a double bed and an unlocked chest, that had several items. Using his spear to remove a cloak from the chest, Alfbern seemed to trigger another encounter, this time two undead creatures bursted out of the walls and attacked the party.

Even though they were rotten and decayed, the party was able to recognise them from the family portraits. They were the patriarch and matriarch!

A Much Needed Rest

The fight left the party quite beaten. They chose to barricade the room and take a full rest
