The Doom Vault Ends

We continued our path through the doom vault, destroying the planar siphons and freeing those suffering under Szass' thumb. Though, I wonder if freeing some of them was a mistake... The black glyph keys took us to the centre of the Doom Vault, where Gnippity's deep understanding of magical energy disrupted the protection around the Phylactery's that we found. Tabitha then quickly set her earth elemental on a destruction rampage, destroying everything in sight. Tarul Val (sp?) showed up an instant later, creating a tense and difficult situation. Not knowing what kind of power he would bring to bear, we did all we could to lay waste to him. Solid teamwork and alignment led to his quick destruction. Thinking his destruction was the end, Kazic Goul (sp?), the demi-lich arrived, planning to finish us off. Everything was such a flurry, with some hard hitting spells, and swift action by Sedriss, we brought swift destruction to the demilich, giving Vellios the opening he needed to finish him off. Barely escaping the now collapsing Doom Vault, we returned to Sharn to discover that people are starting to recover. The connection to the planes seems to have been restored to balance. I think its time to take a break, but I have a feeling something worse is coming. I don't imagine Szass Tam will take our actions lightly. I expect to see him soon.

More vault rooms, more undead, more opportunities to kill necromancers.  I was finally able to summon Ben, my earth elemental (Reed, Sue and Johnny will come later) After clearing out our sixth vault and rescuing the captive, we teleported into the phylactery vault.  It was like no place I have ever seen before. We opened the first pyramid triggering two gargoyles appearing.  We defeated the gargoyles and gnippity figured out how to use the crystals to remove the protective magic of the pyramid. As Ben began to smash phylacteries we were faced with two lich protectors.  As Velios shot a perfect shot to end the second the vault began to crumble.  I had the hardest time trying to get us out of the vault, but we finally fought free. The group was able to liberate some amazing treasure.  More wealth and powerful magic than I have ever seen before. As we transported back to Sharn, we appear to have solved the immediate problem. Everybody seems to be sleeping easier.  I wonder what happens next. 

The battle is over, we have won. Unfortunately Edvald didn't make it. But still we won, and now we are taking some time to work on ourselves. I know I would like to figure out why I am under arrest. Anyway I look forward to seeing what comes next.
