  • Attacker wasn’t found.

• Discovered the tomb of Cotum

  • Saw smoke in the distance as well as a structure nearby.

  • Went to the structure. A building in a lake with doors on all sides.

  • Inside were two large, bronze statues, with crystal eyes and four figurines in their palms (red, blue, green and amber)

  • A long inscription was at the pedestal, where parts of it could be pressed like buttons.

    • Some text made the figurines shine with light.

    • Some text opened a secret door, leading downwards.

    • Some text turned on light in the room downwards.

  • Downwards was a big sarcophagus

    • Inside was a skeleton, a bag of gems and a dagger.

    • Dernard took the dagger, Kaya the gems (she had a bad feeling about them).

    • Kaya smashed the skull of the skeleton, per tradition.

  • Ryan found a secret door, leading further down.

    • Found two dozens of smaller sarcophagi (more like coffins).

    • Opened the first, and smashed the skeletons skull.

    • All other coffins opened and skeletons came out.

    • We went back upwards to create a bottleneck for the fight.

  • The big sarcophagus opened

    • Started to fight the skeleton from the big sarcophagus.

    • The skeletons from further down bowed to Kaya and fought against the bigger skeleton.

    • When it was defeated, all skeletons turned to dust.

    • Returned back down and collected some gold from the coffins.

  • Went back to the very first room.

    • The doors were gone.

    • Many shadows appeared and started to attack us.

    • Dernard tried to push various texts in the pedestal, which didn’t seem to help.

    • Ryan returned the figurines to the statues

    • Nigel took the gems from Kaya and brought them back to the sarcophagus.

    • The doors reappeared.

    • Nigel took two of the crystals from the statues eyes.

    • Everybody left the tomb and we closed the door behind.

    • Plans were made to return to get what we had to leave behind.
