Cullen - Enchante
Brady - Auranos
Will - Bjorn Ogreshaft
Skreg - Martel Mirtaeveous
Ace - Mr. Green
The group had learned through Bjorn Ogreshaft's investigations that the undead plaging Charport had in fact been secret constructs of Ravenloft, later tampered with by another diety and later still taken over by a local necromancer and used to inflitrate. They were largely like living creatures but still were vulnerable to some kinds of holy magic and most magics that affected the living. Martel had done some investigation of the clear society and discovered that there were three living members but they had laid quiet for some time because they were cursed due to their interactions with a demonic lawfirm from Earth.
The group rode out toward Blackstone, the ancestral home of the necromancer, traveling either by tattoo (Mr. Green) or Zanzibar. They had to bypass a black cloud that surrounded the area that wanted to push them into the negative material plane and nearly did so. Upon entering, they killed four giantic zombie ogres and three gigantic wyverns. They did the same thing to fourteen 'Pod People' undead that possessed the shells of fourteen stone giant elders. The battle was fierce but the group succeeded by might (Green and Ogreshaft) and Cunning (Echante who summoned other members using the tattoos) and Zanzibar the Flying Carpet (Auranos and Martel).
Using Echante's knowledge of architecture, they found a secret door into black stone. They bypassed a few traps and utterly ignored the table full of food, some of which had poison. Upon investigating one white corridor with a mirror at the end, they decided to investigate the other rooms. They found a library (nobbed many of the tomes), a room full of glass statues, one of whom they revived (A woman trying to kill the local necromancer), and then they went to the Lich's room.
The Lich was trying to open a permanent portal to Ravenloft. They stopped him but only barely, but did not find his psychaltry but did loot his corpse. Mr. Green ended up using a Sphere of Anhiliation to destroy the portal before it could open. Enchante was driven insane with a symbol of insanity and now has megalomania. Auranos nearly died but managed to just BARELY live thanks to the added health from the fifth tattoo.
And there was much rejoicing as the group looted the lich's corpse.
