Session 6 (8 EP)

The Heroes defeat their opponents, and delve deeper into the mines. The excavation is actually the site of an ancient palace, and jewerly, gems, and other riches are being extracted.

The Heroes reach a huge cavern, where they face the Mine Inspector has the remaining of his guards. But the Inpsector has still a few suprises. He brings to bear four guardians made of stone, their skin almost impossible to breach.

Then suddenly, a huge creature, similar to a rattle-snake with spider legs and a humanoid face, makes his appearance. In the beginning, it seems to be allied with the Inspector, but when the Heroes finally knock him out, the creature is willing to make a deal.

The Heroes promise to seal the entrance to the caves, so that the creature and his "children" (all the spiders living underground), will not be disturbed. In return, the crature will not destroy the Heroes...

The pact is sealed, and the Heroes, together with the many slaves still alive (including the Mayor of Sleepy Rock), leave the compound.

Session 5 (4 EP)

The Heroes escape the mansion, and rest a few days to recover their strength. They travel to the Mayor's home in Sleepy Rock, to reunite him with his wife and daughter, but when they arrive the find the place has been ransacked. Corpses are scattered all around, but there's no trace of the Mayor. Searching the house, they find a note mentioning that they should still go and check the Mines out. The letter is signed "Opal".

The Heroes travel to the Mines, and they find out that the Inspector's men have assaulted the compound. Delving deep inside the mines, they have a few skirmishes with small groups of guards, until they reach a huge subterranean room, where the troops' General with a dozen of his men is stationed. The soldiers are alert, and easily spot the party. Blades are drawn, arrows are knocked.

Session 4 (7 EP)

The Heroes descend into and underground compound, where they find several prisoners beign tortured, and traces of dark magic. It seems that the dark cultists stationed here are planning to resurrect an evil god.

After facing more guards, and being tested by devious traps, the Heroes reach an hall where several acolytes, protected by guards, are chanting at the feet of the huge statue of a demon. In the same room, the wife and daughter of the mayor of Sleepy Rock are kept prisoner.

The Heroes fight their way through the cultists, when suddenly the statue begins to come to life! But it seems something went wrong with the ritual, since the stony demon soon crumbles to dust.

As the Heroes try to escape the compound, they're stopped by a powerful warrior, probably in charge of the defenses of the place. He's adept at many taos, and fatally injures all Heroes except Tang, who is allowed to recover his friends and the two women, and leave to safety.
