Mummy's the word, Man-bat!

After defeating the basilisk, the party bound the dread beast and decided to take it back to the ship. The potential sale of such and animal would be most lucrative. Urol expressed grave reservations about the attempt, Aver just wept to himself. But after it was decided, Nesta, Ortho, Kongu, and Vin returned to the ship with the dangerous beast. And to help reinforce the shore party, Chiri disembarked and caught up with the group.

The next area of exploration contained a rotting statue, which fascinated Urol and pissed off Rudolpho. Then the slimy, toothy ooze of a gibbering mouther attacked the party. Urol almost bought the farm in this encounter, with both damage from the monster and a little not-so-friendly fire.

The next area was much more substantial in size, cold chills passed through their bones and the party entered the large room, a worn replica of an ancient city. Then a magical wall of fire crossed the room and cinged a few party members, most escaped into a small side cavern.

The following room was blocked by an iron wall, which Rudopho bashed his way through. The room on the other side was an even more elaborate and much more intact replica of a city. After a careful search, Rudopho discovered a compartment in the top of the pyramid that happened to be trapped with mummy dust. If a half-orc could ever turn 'green', Rudopho did a minute after discovering the trap.

The party encountered a strange man-bat creature that battled them in a calendar room of the Tamoachan. A strange Will-o-wisp aided the party in combat, then dissapeared. After the calendar room, a well and a crypt with a fair amount of treasure rewarded the party for their troubles. Strangely, Aver and Urol survived the exercise.
