1x04: Annihilation of the Tomb

The Saints of Emon returned from their hunt of the Venom Troll to find the Skyport in the center of the city on fire. They rushed in and fought a group of the White Helix who were stealing the crystals that held the ships afloat. After knocking a few of them off the edge of the docks, Iselda was able to mindspike Illaman, one of the highly wanted criminals, and followed him to the cemetery district. The party entered the central mausoleum, which housed underneath a secret hideout which was filled with magical traps, constructs, a captured archaeologist, and a mimic. They also found what appeared to be a small bomb. Holly activated it with their mage hand, and Lupin opened the door to a room believed to be occupied by the pyromancer. They threw it in and ran like hell. An enormous explosion rocked the tunnels and they discovered that behind that door were thirteen similar devices which exploded in a chain reaction that killed all but their target who had used his cloak of fire resistance to barely survive the blast. He was then easily knocked unconscious. The party gathered what items they could from the wreckage before the tunnel collapsed, and rushed outside to deliver him to the guards where they discovered that the mausoleum that had just sunk into the ground below was home to the body of the beloved Sovereign Uriel Tal’Dorei III. They exchanged their prisoner for the promised bounty, and the next day they went off to purchase some items with the gold earned. Afterwards, they stopped by Berinar of the Everline guild to inquire about a job he had offered them previously.
