Shalendra: "Silly golem!  Your weak punches just brush off of Mongo's stunning physique..." as she takes a couple swings at the Golem:

MOMENTUM: 4, CHAOS: 31
Taeli19, Mongo16, Apprentice2(15)(AC12/HP15), Rosamia12, Kit12, Amelia10, Shalendra2

A sly grin appears on Mongo’s face as silence spreads across the battlefield. Menacingly approaching the final apprentice, Mongo’s blades are literally dripping with blood. “You chose the wrong field of employment, my worthy friend...” he whispers to the apprentice as he cuts him down in a flash of steel-

• Katana Attack #1: 20 Damage: 11
• Wakizashi Attack: 12 Damage: 5
• Katana Attack #2: 23 Damage: 9
• Katana Attack #3: 23 Damage: 9

Boy, he sure did. That's all folks!

 Rosamia heads to Area 97

AREA 97 - THE GOLEM FORGE

At the center of this fiery hall is a huge crucible that emits vapors. Dozens of molds and piles of armor plate are spread out before six hulking armored figures that stand along the walls. Three Thayan apprentices are working here, constructing a golem for some sinister purpose.

Mongo readies himself to rush into the room, blades unsheathed, snarl on his face....

Initiative: 6

Shalendra's Initiative: 6

Rosamia:12

The Thayan apprentices scream sharply in fright like little *****es.

"Well that's one way to do it..." Amelia laughs. "Moving on then?"

"Shit, if it's this easy, let's just stride on to wherever the big bad is hiding out and kick his ass." Rosamia will head to the next area.

Syranna’s image appears before you and speaks.

“Hello again,” she says. “I confess that I’m surprised at how well you have persevered. Your actions have significantly disrupted activity in the Doomvault. But the task is not yet complete.

“You have a chance to deal a heavy blow to Szass Tam and the liches of Thay. You have killed enough servants to allow entry into a chamber deep beneath the Doomvault. Accessible only by magic, this room is called the Phylactery Vault because it houses the phylacteries of many of Szass Tam’s high-ranking lich servants.

“You must enter the vault, defeat its guardians, and disrupt the magic there. When you are ready, let me know."

"I'm ready. Is everyone else ready to go?"

"Hell yeah!" Amelia shouts, pumped. "Let's ****in' GOOO!!!"

Kit nods. "I'm ready."

Taeli shook her head, clearly not agreeing. "Whoa whoa, i'm not so sure guys."

Then, after a moment..

"Just kidding, yeah i'm ready."

You are teleported to another place, deeper into the Vault.

The Phylactery Vault is a tetrahedral space — like standing outside a hollow pyramid — and you find yourself on one of the sides when you arrive. Each face of the vault has its own gravity. In effect, every surface is a floor. The vast, four-sided pyramidal space has a floor of rough-hewn white marble set with low circular pedestals of the same material. At the three corners of the floor stand sepulchers of white marble, each a three-sided pyramid that mirrors the shape of the vault. A pool of dark liquid churns in the center of the floor.

Each other surface of the vault is nearly identical. Rubble of black rock scattered near the wall and the pool on each side stay in place. It seems apparent that each side has its own gravity. The sepulcher walls hum with arcane power. On stone shelves are leather cases, amulets, daggers, scroll tubes, unholy symbols, and other ornate objects. These are the phylacteries of Szass Tam’s lich servants.

At long last, you eye the prize. Each side of the Vault has three sepulchers you can enter.

You can sense something very evil nearby.

"All these ******* things look the same to me." Rosamia heads into the nearest sepulcher.

"I've got some soap and water for that potty mouth." Taeli quipped.

The double doors to the tetrahedral sepulcher pyramids are locked (requiring a successful DC 17 Dexterity check to pick the lock or a successful DC 20 Strength check to burst it).

"Pfft, these doors ain't shit," Amelia scoffs. "Yo, Mongo, Rosa, let's show these doors whose ****in' boss!"
