the group heads to the mausoleum. There are four Ornate Stone coffins inside of it, with a few small candles illuminating the place. a stone staircase leads to a Dark cellar. Those with Nightision can see that the cellar is apparently abandoned, with spider-webs, and even some rats running around.
For a second, a shiver runs down your spine- and a dark figure appears standing in the darkness. the figure appeared imperfect- being made by a smoke-like substance, you can notice, however, that the apparition's hand was, unlike his body, more clear. it appeared as a bloody hand infested with maggots. a second later- the Creature was Gone. maybe an illusion? or something Worse?
( no actually is a spell there you go https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/speak-with-animals) Piers realised that darkness is overwhelming and doesn't make things easier.he lights his torch by muttering a few words (druidscraft) knowing there will be some comfort against this pitch black .After he feels this obscure entity says "He appeared and disappeared...Cat I believe we just saw the necromancer! "
Cat, you look closely, but there is no trace that anything was there. However, you can see a few dried bloodstains on the ground leading to a pathway.
There are no trapdoors, but the Stone coffins's lids are broken, leaving the skeletons and mummified corpses exposed. you notice that all the corpses appear to have one eye missing. . . maybe this is some kind of preparation for a foul ritual?
Following the pathway, you follow the trail of blood. There was no sign of the apparition that you saw- but the air felt heavier. something was going on there. on the far end of the mausoleum, you find a small room with a single coffin on the middle. the coffin held no corpse- but instead, held a collection of vermin feasting on rotten flesh. fresh blood painted the sides of the room, with a low mist covering the ground. on the middle of the coffin infested with maggots, you notice a single, slender hand. it was standing straight, with a single bloody eye sewn into the middle of the hand. the maggots where avoiding the hand, deciding to just eat the flesh around.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Piers feels disgusted.trying really hard not to vomit (14 con ) he points at the hand "that looks like a symbol!all those corpses are missing an eye?I mean we have a ritual of sorts" he is sure he has seen it before or read about it (13 religion check )
Taking in the sight Cat whispers "We may be in over our head! Should we send a message to Ambrose with the paper bird?" not that she really wanted too she really wanted to sell the thing.
Piers manages to hold his vomit, slowly getting accustomed with the sight. He recalls that he read somewhere about a powerfull Archlich called Vecna, whose possesses two lost artifacts: His severed hand and Mummified eye. luckly, the hand on the coffin is far from the Real thing, and looks more like a ritual to try and create a magical item to Mimick Vecna's power, probably by using the negative energy of the graveyard.
Disgusted, Drux looks to Cat, “Send that or a crow quick, I think we’ve seen enough to know something is going on here and we should get him here and update him quickly. I wonder if one of these pests can tell us how long ago this happened or with way the necromancer went.”
"Lower your voices." Cat says in a whisper" realizing that she has no writing materials "Anyone have some charcoal or something to write with?" she waits for an answer while readying her shortbow.
Kess nods, and exits lore's shoulder, flying towards the exit
you all hear the uncanny sound of flesh and bones moving, and looking back at the coffin, you see the Hand moving- the fingers opening and closing, as it's trying to get used to moving. then, it simply snaps his fingers- and a loud sound of CRACK is heard. when you return to the corritor, you see that the skeletons in the coffin are rising, holding iron swords. they start to slowly move towards the group!
Roll initiative!

(Yeah lore is the proper word)

Piers eyes widely open as he says "Vecna!Quick everyone we need to destroy that hand.Whoever created that wants to use it for whatever vile purposes "
"Lower your voices." Cat says in a whisper" realizing that she has no writing materials "Anyone have some charcoal or something to write with?" she waits for an answer while readying her shortbow.
"Lore could you get Kess to get Ambrose?"

Lore nods, asking Kess to find Ambrose and bring him to them.
Kess nods, and exits lore's shoulder, flying towards the exit
