Session 4 — 2026-02-01

Through the Serpent Hills to the tomb of Diderius.

Summary

Routine: Kiviak's treats (3 temp HP, bonus action), Viktor ("V")'s Aid on Kiviak/Thorg/Barnacas. Marching order: Z, Kiviak, Thorg, Barnacas, Viktor. Snuck past 2 hill giants. Night attack by Lizardfolk; captives (speak Draconic) said it's their land and they'd seen the dwarf's group.

Next day reached a ruined plaza: relief carvings of extraplanar scenes, two warning statues that speak for Diderius, "ether-walker and conduit of clairvoyance," offering wisdom or knowledge (Barnacas chose knowledge; the rest wisdom). 7 shallow graves of Cult of the Dragon members; Zeiria reburied with Mold Earth, Viktor blessed them. Zeiria sealed a hole with strange bipedal tracks.

Entered the Tomb of Diderius: recently installed ladder, forced door, Thorg's lantern detected undead. Statue hall of cowled wizards ("Some secrets are not meant for mortal minds…"); Wis saves — Barnacas passed and gained advantage on Int checks for 24 h. Mosaic chamber: a chimera mosaic came to life.
