The Island of Death, The Underground City, Beneath the Great Pyramid of Xuthalhotep
Lost City of Khemsa, Forgotten Kingdom of Verulia, Great Eastern Desert, the World of Hyboria
Day Ten. Afternoon?, 23rd day of the month of Yuluk, 1279th year of the Age of Aquilonia
Inhuman shrieking heralds the arrival of the faceless horrors of the Island of Death! Zargoth had taken their names, their faces, and their souls and replaced them with malice, savagery and hate.
Trapped on the north side of the gate, Cruloc, Garrin and Zahra plunge headlong up the steps bellowing oaths of murder, stampeding toward the first monstrosity
(F1)! Before the Tainted can react, Zahra the amazon drives her blade hilt-deep beneath a grisly visage, spraying blood from a ghastly wound!
The fighting-madness of his race is upon Cruloc the barbarian and with a blur of steel, the abominable creature's weapon arm is suddenly a crimson stump!
Garrin the Atlantean finishes the assault, his scarab sword shearing clean through a pale neck, decapitating the grotesque, featureless head!
The first of the heinous things
(F1) is sundered apart before the others take a step!
The two remaining descendants of lost Verulia, warped and demented by the blasphemous existence of Zargoth, gibber abysmally as they lunge forward with weapons raised! Zahra beats aside a slashing blade but Garrin feels an ax cut deep!
(6hp damage)
"What's happening? I can see nothing," Kiri cries out, feeling the vast portcullis before him.
Despite their desperation to aid their companions, Kiri, Loche and Mako again fail to lift the gate!
Tjoruy begins chanting a mushroom-fueled ballad from beyond time and place. Amethu casts an arcane incantation forged before the fall of Verulia and suddenly, impossibly, his form explodes outward in size and mass until he towers over 8 feet tall!
