The adventurers quested to the cave of the lost Miners and found an ancient dwarven temple overrun with undead. They battled swarm after swarm of skeletons and wraiths, and until they found a lycanthrope zombie through a trapped door.
The shocked party attacked with valor. Doran, Victor and Rigel cut through the zombie's skeletal bodygaurds as Steve Stevenson landed blows on the terrible, rotting lycanthrope. But the warriors could not seem to kill the foul creature until Caranuvba sauntered up and wacked the zombie on the head, causing it to roll off its body.
While the adventurers rejoiced that no brain-eating had occured, Rigel's keen Elven eyes caught site of a hidden box in the wall containing much treasure and a map of area covered in ancient Dwarven markings and the recent scrawling of beastmen.
With their pockets full of sweet loots, the party continued to search the temple, determined to discover the cause of the blight that was creating the evil dead. But as they rounded a stone corner, a wight surprised the party and Steve Stevenson's gallant attempt to protect the party was rewarded with his life's blood draining from him.
Luckily the beautiful and resourceful Williamina threw herself into a song praising the heavens, and Ophelite restored life to Steve's body as Rigel swiftly slid past the wight and smashed Steve's torch into it's cold dead body, sending it back to hell.
With Steve Stevenson in such a fragile state, the party returned to the Sapphire Empress Shrine to heal and gain XP. On the way back the party was attached by a wild band of wolves, but Victor and Doran dispatched the problem before any of the other party members could even react.
Rigel and Caranuvba attempted to learn "protection from evil," but couldn't seem to grasp the intricate and complex nature of the spell.
After a few days rest in the city, the party trudged back up the mountain to continue to explore the Dwarven temple.
They found themselves in an ornate room with floors swirled with blue and a statue of the Ancient Dwarven God of the Sea that Williamina identified as Neptune.
