4 Mummies and a Funereal

The adventures head back to the cemetery the following day to continue their quest. The head over to a Mausoleum with a stone wall surrounding it with a well and a statue. Clearly this crypt was for a wealthy man. As they approach 4 mummies attack. Vigga of Darkhold uses the mace of Croasis and sends all of them to serve her orc god. As they approach the entrance, they witness this strange 3 headed skeletal being. They engage it since it does not seem to want to fall under the control of the Mace of Croasis. The group is confused on whether or not they killed the beast though. It simply just disappeared.
They head over towards the next Mausoleum. These strange skeletal constructs slither towards them and attack. Vigga is able to send them to her church. Inside the crypt are bone shards left over from whoever hastily constructed these vile beasts. After the adventurers cleared the crypt they were walking towards the next crypt when they witness a funereal taking place. As some grounds keepers are lowering the casket into the hole, the casket busts open and a zombie attacks the men. One of the men, the zombie, and the casket fall into the hole. The entire group of mourners run away in fear.

The cemetery

The following morning Nyrissa heads to both churches to receive her quests. One is find a diamond known as the Sunshade diamond for Noram. The other is to eradicate an influx of undead at the local Ion cemetery. Having no info on the diamond, the group heads to the cemetery. They meet a cleric of Koanatee along the way who wishes to adventure with them. He introduces himself as Marcus.
The group travels to the cemetery. They witness a band of mummies roaming outside of each of the 12 mausoleums. They engage the first group with moderate success. After having to head back to town to remove mummy rot, the group heads back for mausoleum showdown #2.
This time, in addition to fight the mummies, a skeletal dragon joins the fight. The battle looks close to being lost, but the group prevails. They head back to town to rest.

The green dragon and the gold mine

The group heads back to town to divide up and unload all of the Silver from the mine. After some bartering and big purchases, the group heads back to the mines. This time they decide to check out a gold mine. As they arrive they witness the miners fighting a huge green dragon. The group sneaks in while the battle rages. Garradin is seen as they sneak in though and the dragon picks him up and uses him as rock. Garradin is thrown into one of the humans fighting the dragon. Then Cooper, Guliver, & Garradin decide to join the fight as the rest of the humans fighting the dragon outside are taken out by a acidic breath weapon. There are still more soldiers inside the mine who are now terrified to come out and fight. Kim & Nigel stick to the walls inside the mine and use their powers from a distant. The battle is a fierce one. the dragon takes some decent damage from the three adventurers but not enough. when the dragon regained his ability to breath acid, he cuts down the adventurers to a pile of fleshy pulp, killing them all instantly. Kim & Nigel head into the mine, take their fair share of gold and exit the mine once the dragon leaves. They head outside to find that the dragon ate whatever was left of their friends, took any items of magic, and left the rest of the things. Kim & Nigel head back towards home with the remnants of their friends. They will bury the articles next to their friend Percy under the tree in the madame's courtyard.
