Session 3 - After a Sad Burial and a Few Days



While putting Borat to rest in the Diamond Lake graveyard, the party hears rumors of a rash of attempted grave robberies. A dragonborn cleric of Tempus gives the eulogy and agrees to join the party in Zniltch's place. 

They re-enter the Whispering Cairn after getting some fresh supplies and discover beyond the baths a viciously giggling wight clutching a magical sword, as well as the missing Red Lantern needed to access the Stone Face that might lead to the true tomb. 

Lighting all the lanterns, the way opens, revealing a thin bridge across an open chamber, the floor below filled with terracotta balls, as well as a young voice offering warnings and encouragements. Various plans are proposed for getting through the room, including the Druid trying out a spiderform for the first time, but the voice - a ghost of a young explorer who had died in the room - insists that only she can open the chamber from the other side, and only if the adventurers return her body to her family, which involves facing the creatures lurking below.

The adventurers successfully defeat them and carry Alestra's body back to her farmstead, only to find that her family's graves have been emptied.
