Chapter 9

A passage from Rutger's Journal
''Exploring the cave further we found a door,  which was a rarely opened as there was with lots of spider webs, I lit torches and it burned away what could have been been hundreds of years It turned out that it was a temple room of sorts to the Blood God. Perhaps these cultists are no cultists, but puting up a pretense for some reason,  We contininued back to seach back where we came from, to find away out of this place. Opening into a circular room we encountered a mad priest with a broken helmet.He is clearly insane, I managed to contain my frustration and we established that the Blood God has 4 foci, one for each season. The paintings on the wall show a ritual to return the Blood God to life "Cauldron, Spear, Torc and Helm - the spear is lost, but will be found again" - they have the Cauldron, The spear is at Velloth (Caer Velloth the winter fort) and the cauldron at Hydref the helm is at Gwanwyn, the torc is at Haf"  We are to the west of Hanwyr according to Cenwyn.''

''Leaving the madman to his chanting we've explored to the NW, we found a room full of bodies, bodies of dwarves in the main. Two elves where moving about the bodies doing something to them - we've decided to remove them from this mortal coil. They were necromancers and raised the bodies of the fallen to battle us, I rushed the necromancers, blasted them with acid but was forced back by a demonic scream. Blocked by the animated body of a poor elf I had to carve through him and I smashed my axe down into one of the necromancers cleaving down into his chest. By which time the rest of my companions had dispatched the rest of the undead and the second necromancer.''

 * The dwarf found his hat and the Captain found a mask.
