The trip to Steel Gate is uneventful and they approach the fortress. They cross large moats and pits filled with stakes. The fortress itself nothing more that a large wall filling the valley. It’s obvious that the fortress has not always stood against the tre hum da as hundreds of workers are rebuilding parts of it.

The party reports to the Do Jir of The Red. He gives them a place to rest and relax. Tim and Kimi go exploring against Marius’s wishes. The next day the Do Jir tells the group that they are to scout into the tre hum da area to the east.

They make their way through a tunnel at the end of which they should emerge at a scout tower, there they will be given horses and allowed to scout the south for the tre hum da horde.

After several days uneventful travel through the underworld they come to a detour. Following the trail down they come to a huge cavern filled with tombs. In the center of the room is a large mausoleum. Mauric senses great evil in it.

Despite their warning Tim fires a spell at the building and a large dark spirit emerges from the structure. Paladin Marius steps up the face the undead thing. He kills it but only after the thing wounds him with its life draining ability causing him a grievous wound.

Tim declares the creature slain and pontificates about his role in the destruction of the creature. Suddenly they are surrounded by hundreds of Corpses.
