We went down the corridors to two dead ends and on the way back Carufinwe noticed a secret passage. So, we turn into the passage way and came to a locked bolted door from the outside. This was strange why was the door bolted from the outside what was in there they did not want out. Andrian picked the lock and we went inside to see another large scare crow zombie type undead. He just looked at us and we noticed he was missing an arm. We shut the door and were going to leave it. When Andrian said we should destroy it now and not worry if someone let him loose to attack us while we were attacking something else. So, we got ready and Andrian pushed open the door quickly throwing his daggers and quickly got on the other side of it. The undead seemed to be quick and used a tattoo arm to beat Andrian with. I was able to hurt it a little trying to turn it. Carufinwe and Riley attack it from the hall way. Andrian took the attacks and was hurt before we could bring it down. I was healing Andrian and Andrian pick up the arm we needed when all of a sudden the zombie got back up and started attacking us again. It missed me then turn it attacks on Andrian and hit him one more time before we were able to destroy the undead. I healed up Andrian and we rested to catch our breath. The goblins we have with us look through the room for other things finding scraps of meat to eat and a few coins. We added Gaeken’s arm to our collection.
We back track to another passage we did not go down and came upon another room. This room looks like a medical lab to heal people but it was were they made zombies. There was one on the table still strapped in. As we looked at the zombie on the table I tried to destroy it by using my turn ritual. This only made it mad. It broke free and then attacked us. This one was different from the other zombies we have fought. It seemed to be healing it self as it fought but my holy rituals were hurting more then what the others seem to be doing to it. We all tried to keep our distance but Riley was caught and has having trouble getting out of the way. Andrian kept trying to flank it but Riley was trying to stay away from it kept making the zombie move so Andrian kept losing the flanking attacks. One of my rituals caused the stiches to start to break open and fluid started to come out. This seemed to slow the zombie down a little. Riley run out of healing potions and decided to leave before it killed him. When Riley left it hit him again but Riley was able to escape to safety but the zombie healed up and was going strong again. I decided to help Andrian and go toe to toe with the Zombie and we were able to flank it. It tried to attack me but Torag was blessing me and would not let the undead hit me. We were able to bring the Zombie down to where it was falling apart and it became easier to hit it. After we had destroyed the Zombie, Riley remember what Thousand Bones told us about his grandson having a scare above his eye. The head on the Zombie had a scare above one of it eye. So, Andrian removed the head from the zombie and placed Gaeken’s head with the other parts. We now only needed to fine the main body and one arm to complete finding Gaeken. We rested a few minutes before moving.
We then came into a bed room with a pretty girl smiling at us. As we looked closer she was a zombie just smiling in the bed. This was not right holding a spirit as a concubine for your own pleasure. I put her to rest by casting my undead ritual on her releasing her soul from this prison. Since we been facing undead I ask to rest so I can get my ritual back. As I was resting a few minutes Andrian was listening at the door. He could hear some kind of noise in the next room.
When I was ready Andrian threw open the door and we saw a goblin just finishing sawing a tattoo arm (Gaeken’s final parts) and threw it into a pile of other arms. As Andrian attacked the Goblin the pile of arms started attacking me. This was a strange battle as Andrian fought the Goblin alone I blocked the door way protecting the rest of the group from this pile of arms. We all began to attack it but I had to be careful not to destroy the pile because we could lose Gaeken arm. With everyone help we were able to destroy the pile. I went to help Andrian attacking the goblin, but he surrender to us. I did not realize that the goblin had blinded Andrian during his fight and maybe that why the goblin was able to stay alive. But, once we had defeated his pile of arms he was alone and knew he could not defeat us. We had Andrian female goblin told us his name was Vreeg. Vreeg told us his master was not here and he just knew we would be back soon. Soon could be less then a day or two days he was not sure how soon just soon. While we talk Andrian sight came back to him. Vreeg told us about Ralth library collection. We tied up the Vreeg to take him back to the guards and to finish searching out the area.
We finished searching the rest of the place finding nothing else here. We did fine the library Vreeg told us about. I just wanted to destroy all these evil books but Riley told me there could be some rituals we could use. But, once we had looked over the books I could then destroy them so no one else could create undead from those books. I found a large rug to put the lab equipment in and some books. Both Riley and I cast the floating disc to help carry the loot out. Riley disc could hold a lot more than mine but my disc did help carry more then we could if we did not have it.
As we came back up to the surface we honor our agreement with the other goblins we had capture by letting them go. Vreeg however was going to the guards to face the charges. The lady we rescue was disappointed we did not find Ralth. But, has glad to be free and told us she would try and help us if we ever needed her help. She left quickly us as if she was a ghost. We first went back to drop off the loot at Andrian mother house. Carufinwe and Andrian female goblin stayed at the house looking after the loot. While Andrian, Riley and myself went to see Thousand Bones to return Gaeken’s body parts back to him. Thousand Bones was happy to see that we recover his grandson body. He was not happy that it was in pieces except we did have all the pieces. Thousand Bones told us he would do his best to try and talk his people from going to war with Korvosa. But, if they do seek him out and he will do his best to help us escape the war.
We went to take Vreeg to Field Marshall Cressida Kroft. We ran into the guards and he told him we were taking Vreeg to the Field Marshall for his involvement of Gaeken’s body. Field Marshall Cressida Kroft told the guards to take the goblin out to be hung. The guards took him from us and out to be hung. The guards told us that Field Marshall Kroft wanted us to report back in the morning. So we went back to the house to rest.

Great detail and action!
& very entertaining reading. You got all the parts in their order, kind of like how we had to put that guy back together.
I try to get it right and how it happens. I have to stay up on them or it would never happen.
