Svek's acid downs one, Adam's spell culls another, leaving the last one to take strikes from Honor and Aanash. It remains standing only long enough to snap a bite out at Svek, before it's swiftly put down by your combined attacks without any more threats.

The last ghoul was restrained, it hits Svek for 9 unless he Shields, but after that it's fairly guaranteed he's going to die, so calling combat there.

Despite how crushingly you won, this was - by CR - a Deadly Encounter, and as such rewarded 15 experience for it.

You're left with three more rooms to investigate - each of which held some of the vampiric ghouls - plus another code door. One that, at the very least, you know can be smashed down with minor efforts.

Adam Human Cleric AC: 20(Cloak of Displacement) HP: 41/45 PP: 18 PIv: 9 PIs: 9 Conditions: Concentrating: Moving the moonbeam out of the way, Adam approaches the opening, and looks for more of these ghouls. Seeing none, he pauses for a moment, extending his hands in a brief prayer for the souls of the people that became the twisted ghouls, before moving through the doorway, and beginning the hunt for another set of codes, or for evidence of the Kundark expedition's presence. Spoiler: OOC Show (1d20+8)[10] Perception?

[Amnestic]

The room at your right - before the first, now broken, code door - turns out to have been the washroom, containing a few uncleaned toilets and bloodstained sinks. There's a pair of bodies here, or what were bodies, now torn asunder and picked clean. What few parts remain are covered in bite marks, and even the bloodstained floors bear the marks of a tongue lapping up the spilled liquid that seems perpetually fresh. There's nothing to indicate who they bodies were, and what scraps of cloth that remain of their wear gives you no hints.

Both the other rooms past the broken door, and before the intact one, appear similar - plush meeting rooms with an array of chairs around only a single desk, and hundreds upon hundreds of folders and files and books lining the bookshelves that occupy every inch of wall space. There's the remnants of a few bodies here too, as torn apart as the last. Your investigation, even as you try to focus only on the spots you deem important, neverthless takes longer than you might like. It does turn up some coinage, and a cloak you deem to be magical.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

255gp in coinage/gems and a Cloak of Protection.

It is not in any desks, but rather behind an utterly utilitarian painting of a dwarven banker that you find the code to the next door, jotted down on a scrap of paper: 13927.

Opening the code door thankfully doesn't provoke any more danger, however it does lead straight down stairs into darkness that are cloyed thick with the smell of death. Whatever light sources or darkvision you possess prove insufficient to reach far into the gloom, and as you reach the bottom of the stairs you see your third code door so far, this one smashed into splinters and shards scattered at your feet, as if a raging bull the size of a dragon charged it down. More doors split off into side rooms to your left and right - their doors smaller, and notably intact.

Aanash Tiefling Barbarian/Wizard/Warlock/Fighter AC: 19 HP: 62/63 PP: 12 PIv: 11 PIs: 12 Conditions: Blindsense (10), Arcane Ward (5/5), Temp HP (12) Light Source: Golden Bracelet (Light Cantrip) Strutting through the destroyed vault door with a wave of his hand in a feeble attempt to ward off the smell, Aanash comments, "So much for this House's legendary construction," with a look back at the shredded remains. "Maybe the magic wore off after a while," he guesses, approaching the next door. The general consensus seems to be against knocking it down, so he turns and takes watch of the entrance while the others begin their search - in case the warforged should arrive hollering for bloody vengeance. Once the door is bypassed and they descent into darkness, Aanash casts a simple Light cantrip on his golden bracelet, holding it aloft to illuminate their path. "I suggest we forge ahead, but keep a guard at our rear, either myself or Honor. In case of more ghouls from behind these doors," he tells the party in a low voice. "Time is turning onwards." Spoiler: Actions Show Light on bracelet.

Adam Human Cleric AC: 20(Cloak of Displacement) HP: 41/45 PP: 18 PIv: 9 PIs: 9 Conditions: Concentrating: Finding scattered coins and a magical cloak on the shattered and devoured remains of corpses, but no answers, Adam stuffs them both into the Bag of Holding, for later discussion. "May their souls find peace, for I fear there is little I can do for their bodies, not now." His voice is quiet, and full of sorrow, and perhaps a touch of fear. As the next room comes into sight, and with it the shattered remains of a door with intact side doors, Adam frowns as he examines the wreckage. "Broken out, or in?" His voice is soft, musing as he takes in the destruction. "Because the others were not broken, which implies that the breaker is still here." Spoiler: OOC Show Looking around, hoping to determine which way the vault door was broken, and whether Adam can hear anything behind the closed doors. (1d20+8)[20] Perception?

[Amnestic]

An inspection of the door's damage indicates that it was shattered away from you, towards the inside from further inside, rather than towards you. It's possible that the previous scavenger team made it here after all, and ended up being slightly less careful about their entrance than you were.

A moment of silence allows you to keenly listen at the shut doors. If there is anything within them, they're stock still and completely silent.

[Archmage1]

Adam Human Cleric AC: 20(Cloak of Displacement) HP: 45/45 PP: 18 PIv: 9 PIs: 9 Conditions: Concentrating: Seeing the direction of the shattered door plainly, Adam frowns. "Maybe the Kundarks broke the door? But it must have made enough noise to alert any of the undead here. Which means that they must have fought them, but they must have known?" His voice contains more than a note of confusion, as things simply did not add up. He also makes no effort to keep himself quiet.

There's no time for faffing about. Spoiler: Actions Show Taking the lead.

[Amnestic]

Pressing forward, you approach, and then pass, another shattered code door, to another short set of stairs that lead down to a bloodstained floor marked with symbols. A body lies halfway along, slumped against the left side of the wall. Though the walls look normal, the location of the body peppered with innumerable evenly spaced holes suggests that there is some form of trap in place, one that has since retracted after being triggered.

Spoiler: Puzzle

You are starting at the south side.

A plaque to one side reads "Kundarak is built on solid, reliable investments, not the empty space of guesswork."

Adam Human Cleric AC: 20(Cloak of Displacement) HP: 45/45 PP: 18 PIv: 9 PIs: 9 Conditions: Concentrating: Looking over the clearly trapped puzzle, Adam looks past it, trying to get a sense of what was on the other side, and whether there was some sort of way to disarm the trap there. Spoiler: OOC Show (1d20+8)[13] With the power of flight, Adam can probably skip this one?

[Amnestic]

Using the power of flight, Adam is able to cross over the trap without triggering it, carrying Honour in swiftly straining arms.

Crossing over, you see that the vault door on the far side is open. Properly open, rather than smashed asunder, though the same cannot be said for the inside of the vault itself. Great rents have been torn through the stonework by massive claws that you have little doubt must dwarf you in size. A glance inside the greater vault finds it remarkably empty - far more so than you would have hoped for - but more pressingly is that the inner inner vault is also opened, but unlike the door you now stand beside the damage on its hinges and edges suggests that it was smashed open from the inside. No sooner does Honor's foot hit the floor then you hear the scraping of something large and unpleasant on metal, as if something is waking up, still hidden in the darkness inside the inner vault.

As they appear, he looks at them, considers what they mean. His eyes seem drawn to a circular symbol, with rays light the light of sun, glowing valiantly, despite the darkness around them. Perhaps a sign of what was to come? Or perhaps the light would simply be abandoned, when it was no longer useful, just as Cyre had been.

As you cast spells you hear the scraping grow louder. You see the scything blades first, great curved claws of hardened keratin - four in total, each on its own dedicated appendage. The beast is covered in thick chitinous plates, its heavy stomps shaking the room around you. Deployed on the battlefield, it might be a weapon that could charge down an army. In this narrow space, it has eyes only for you. Its maw lined with teeth as thick as as your heads opens and it unleashes a roar of hunger, but great though your enemy is, its size seems to slow its response, and you steal the initiative on it.

Adam's spell bounces off the creature's thick carapace, but Aanash's manages to slip into the cracks between plates, causing a mild grunt of discord. Adam doesn't know what the creature is, nor guess from where it came. This is a monster of the Mournland, of that you can be sure, and perilously little is known about it. It does, however, seem susceptible for webs, for only a moment, halted before tearing its way through.

The ranged barrage continues, the creature's feet becoming stickied in the webs once more and locking it down just long enough for Aanash's spell to land before it tears itself free a second time. It continues its charge forward, and though it's clearly focused primarily on the trio in the corridor, its wide swinging arcblade slices through the wall to get at Honor. Trained and disciplined, however, the warforged ducks beneath it as the slicing appendage rakes through stone, metal and wood - including the door at his back, revealing a bloodstained room behind him though if there is any other occupants, he can't see them from his current position.

The fighting retreat continues, with spells slipping past its guard - or not, in Aanash's case. On its way past Honor it lashes out with a foot, and catches the warforged unable to avoid it. The massive weight crashes down, flooring the mechanical warrior, but the icy guard singles in return and forces it away from any incentive to finish the job. Instead, it presses onwards, straight into Adam's spirits, and more pressingly, dropping its weight on trapped floors. Immediately, dozens of thin spines thrust out from the walls, peppering both beast and Adam with innumerable wounds. It lashes out at both Adam and the walls with its thick blades - the former misses, the latter cleaves away at the parts of the trap that had injured it, leaving most of it - including where Adam is floating - still intact. The lances retract, and you hear the unmistakeably sound of them locking back into place, though how long between uses is anyone's guess.
