Chapter 4
Avalon
The party steps through the portal and find themselves on top of a crumbling tower overlooking Avalon. They quickly run or fly down as they realize the tower is about to collapse. As the portal collapsed beside them they find themselves in a ruined city full of undead and demons. Realizing they have no choice but to press on they move to the center of the city. Stepping over rubble and seeing the devastation they pass a underground lake. Suddenly undead attack from the water, yet these are no simple zombies. As the melee fighters move into combat they find themselves unable to breathe as if they were underwater. The zombies are vanquished with great difficulty but they are overcome. Barely able to catch their breath they are beset by a Demon Spider. Thankfully they were able to destroy it as well.
As they enter the temple district they look in despair as the way to the temple of Imbarael had collapsed. But they find a two temples on the side, one to Cyan and one to Cylynet. They enter the temple to Cyan first and find it is still hallowed, the party had finally found a save shelter. In it Cyan was even happier to find Portal building supplies. The bags of holding were quickly filled. After a good rest the party entered the temple to Cylynet, the divine protection long gone, they heard the sounds of demons and undead in the distance. As they passed through the temple they found a treasure chamber with two cages with books in it protected by a Mark of Insanity and one of Death. They realised these cultural items should be rescued and vowed to return once they found the temple of Imbarael. A passageway leads us to the other side of the collapsed tunnel and upon exiting it they see the temple of Imbarael.

The Temple of Imbarael
As the party enters the temple Maxx hears the sound of digging in the distance. Scouting ahead he sees the evil party already digging for the crown. The party casts some defensive spells and charges in. Facing them are a drow, a vampire the elf warlock and a red half dragon. The fight is long and hard but as the warlock and half dragon are put down; the party is surprised to see the vampire strike down the drow. He turns to the party and tells them to get inside the vault and bring the items to Emmerence Thailone as per the deal. Ivril and Aneirin are very troubled by the fact that Emmerence is working with such foul beings. Yet the fight had taking its toll and they decide to rest before entering the vault.
Upon entering the vault they see that the crown is gone. Believing that this must be a trick they start searching the room for hidden rooms or compartments. Soon they find a hidden room protected by a strange halo. Only Desiderius can enter it and he tells of treasure and strange drawings on the wall. One depicts a monster in a cage, the other a knight fighting monsters, the last the world being destroyed by a monster. As Desiderius begins to gather the treasure the building starts to shake. Desiderius quickly grabs some things and the party starts running to the exit. As the temple collapses behind them the party barely escape with their lives. Desiderius shows what he had managed to take. A magical bastard sword, a rod of silence, a ring of counterspelling and many scrolls.
With the collapse of the temple the party sees that the only way out is back through the temple of Cylynet. They enter the room with the cages again. With magical spells and protections they are able to disable the Marks and take the magical books.
Realizing that they do not know where to go the party decides to camp the night again in the temple of Cyan. As they set up camp a group of humans, dwarves and elves appears. Stating they are the Silverstars they put us under arrest for entering the city of Avalon and disturbing the undead.
