5E Tales from the Yawning Portal: Tomb of Horrors
Still inside the Tomb of Horrors: Force Green’s Core 4 (Pylia, Drizmar, Blood, Blue), along with Pylia’s parents (Gale and Thane) and the survivors of the “Loot Company” adventuring group (1 cleric and 5 fighters) were in a room hoping to rest.
Thane & Gael revealed the info they overheard while they were held prisoner: Acererak’s true lair is elsewhere; he made multiple bodies for himself that he could project himself through (such as the skull the team destroyed); you need the Amulet of the Void to access his lair; he has manipulated people - Thane & Gael think he has been playing Veersalla, Strahd, Cap, and Keraptis - using them and then distracting them all with worldly concerns of power and vengeance while Acererak is working on some sort of secret project. Whatever it is, Thane is sure they need to get to his lair and stop him. Gael also overheard something whispered about the city of Moil.
The Loot Company cleric attempted to planeshift them out, but that summoned a marilith; the team killed her. They were then invaded by the undead and necromancers from the Black Academy and had to kill/destroy: 6 wights, 14 ghasts, 1 bone golem, 3 vampires, 5 necromancers, 1 iron golem, 1 flame skull, and Mistress Ferranifer the vampire archmage. After winning, the team had both halves of the Amulet of the Void. They rested. Pylia figured out how the Amulet of the Void could be used to get to Moil.
Blood’s legend lore allowed her to find out that Moil was a city originally from the world of Ranais full of people with advanced science and magic who worshiped Orcus. When they turned from Orcus, he cursed them to sleep in a deathlike state until the sun hit them, but he put the city in a demi-plane with no sun, dooming them to slow death in their sleep. The city crumbled around them, preserved by the bitter cold.
Blue and Pylia convinced Thane and Gael to return home and check on Pylia’s brother and his relationship with Ivanja. The Loot Company said they wanted to go with the team to fight Acererak and helped by plane-shifting them to Mystara to go to the magical marketplace to buy scrolls and trade out magic items.
[For next time: The team plans to buy what they need, plane-shift back to Oerth, and rest again before entering Moil.]
