# 25_20201128 Vault of the Nine ## Session Summary We opened the mosaic-covered marble door and found ourselves in the Vault of the Nine, a hemisphere-shaped room with 9 statues along the walls and 9 coffins in a circle around an obelisk. Each of the 9 statues corresponded to a coffin. After we examined all of them, we heard the voice of the singing skeleton in the Crypt. She exclaimed, "Arclan! We can finally get you a body!" As she began to cast what sounded like an arcane ritual, skeletons of different types began to appear in the entryway in waves, including one that crawled out of a portal that materialized. The fight begins! ^summary ## Recap ![[24_20201127 The Crypt and the Mosaic Puzzle#^summary]] ## Log - Vault of the Nine - smells like it hasn't been opened for a while, but it's clean - As soon as the door opens, light appears between each of the statues that are about 30' above the floor - circular marble, stone, steel room. Like a hemisphere (half of a sphere), top has similar arches as the crypt, but tenfold larger. - Architecture is familiar to some of our party - it is partially eladrin - 9 statues that are made of gray-silver metal - different races, armor, poses, weapons - - center of the room: 9 sarcophagi arranged in a spinning sun - middle of the coffins is a black, stone-like column that goes up to the chest. Flat on two sides and on the side facing us, there is a black crest outlined in red (can't understand from this distance). Chest-high obelisk. Same shape as the one that the ruler had -  -  - On the floor there is a pattern: Bahamut side-view going around the room. Painted on white marble floor. - Doors are wood reinforced with metal bands. Not as tough as the one we came through. - The door we came from was a marble mosaic door - We hear movement through the walls - could be something heavier moving or doors opening and closing. - obelisk is magical, coffins and statues are not magical - Drawn in red outline on obelisk -  - Not a symbol of any god. It's a symbol of mortals. - Statues - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Hallok]] - Dragonborn that is lightly armored in a ready pose holding a falchion. Defending pose. Looks like he's wearing furs or hides, but half bare-chested. His posture and snarl makes him look fierce. - Coffin has a carved relief of the same dragonborn. Name: "Hallok" - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Barion]] - Half human and half giant: a goliath. Flowing hair carved on the armor and wielding a great axe as if about to strike. Heavily armored but not in plate armor: metal armor. That is unusual for goliaths because they usually prefer lighter armor because they are close to nature. They are clannish and strong. It's also strange for one to be serving a human settlement. "Barion". - [[Galadim]] - Dragonborn paladin in full metal armor with a visor down, wielding a spiked shield and spiked gauntlet. Standing at attention. - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Lubash]] - Bear's hide on his head with tusks. Larger than normal snake coiling on the floor beside him as if ready to strike. He's shouting and his hands are behind him holding a battleaxe and throwing hammer. Lubash. Half-orc - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Thrinnar]] - Bearded human with one side shaved. WEird runes. Wearing chainmail, holding mace and shield. One the chainmail, it looks like runes were replicated on it - not magical but just replicated. "Thrinnar". - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Ravonn]] - Female eladrin wielding a longsword and one hand is holding an imaginary shield. "Ravonn". - [[Nalak]] - Human spiked shield and sword. "Nalak". - [[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Saebold]] - Dragonborn in chainmail armor wielding chain and spiked shield. It's pointing forward as if to attack. "Saebold". - [[Thraid]] - Hooded figure (in cloak) can't see the face. Arms are inside the sleeves so we can't see them either. Small reptile on its shoulder. Looks like a small dragon. "Thraid". - "[[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Arclan]]! We can finally get you a body. I'm so excited!" Heavy shields skeletons 4 of them.
