Session 11 - Immediately After

Having dispatched the vampire spawn, the party examines the chamber, noting shelves of books and the magical door to what is likely a vault of treasures. To the south, they find an empowered spring of life-bolstering earthblood before attempting to breach the vault door, triggering a frost glyph that nearly kills Amanon.

A few reduce spells from Mesmer and the door shrinks and collapses, revealing a Tome of the Stilled Tongue, a chest of ancient coinage, and some shelves of magical trinkets, including a clockwork shocking lizard that Frakker attunes to.

The party takes another long rest before venturing forth, finding a secret passage to the crypts below the Black Font far above at the temple entrances. A ghast licks at the necrotic effluvium leaking from the walls, but is quickly killed. They find a kobold haven barricaded off and a large room filled with zombies beyond a dropped portcullis, and some collapsed hallways and chambers, one of which reveals a magic ring. Finally, they face off against a trio of Myrkulian Skulltists and glimpse a glowing altar in the center of a great chasm.
