12th Day of Hardfrost, 1000 GCY

     The party continued to explore the chambers around where they thought the Tablet of Chaos was, and found a way to a teleport circle - but had to battle their way through crypt knights and barrow mummies. They lost one of the mongrelmen hirelings - Kasmut was slain in the battle and the body defiled to such an extent that they could not be saved. They passed through the teleport circle into a library/laboratory, where they decided to hole up for a long rest.

13th Day of Hardfrost, 1000 GCY

     The party entered the next chamber, where they encountered the Keeper of the Tablet, attended by hezrou demons and necrolytes. In the battle, the Keeper teleported away, and the party slogged through the demons and followers. They then look a long rest.

     Later that day, they entered the next chamber, finding coffers and chests full of treasure and a crystal ball. After another long rest to attune to the item, Omarion used the crystal ball to search for the Keeper, and saw him conversing with an undead dragon! 

     They used a teleport circle to teleport to the real chamber in which they found the Tablet of Chaos, but when they tried to acquire it in order to destroy it, the Keeper teleported to the chamber and began an all-out assault to keep them from the Tablet. The battle was fierce, and the Keeper was able to unleash some high-powered spells like power word kill and power word stun against them, but they finally prevailed, and Brother Binford destroyed the Tablet of Chaos using the Gauntlet of Palantis (destroying both in the process!). 

     The party was overjoyed to have finally destroyed the Tablet of Chaos!
