 After a much needed rest, [[Rayjok Halperion]] had a meeting with [[Hedgewind Jalinbeti]] to determine whether he was indeed finished with the mystery of the undead.  Hedgewind expressed that he did have a couple of ''errands'' in mind if Rayjock and his party were interested in undertaking them.
-The first of the tasks was for Rayjock to continue to look for the source of the power raising the undead.  A clue was given that the initial location of the globe altering effect may have originated in far away [[Kara]] in the south of the [[Aydahar Confederation]].  This being a long journey by any means of travel, [[Hedgewind Jalinbeti]] offered the party a second offer.

 Hedgewind urged them to seek out the creator(s) of the [[Obsidian Scale Armor]] worn by [[Aydahar military]] generals.  If found, they should compel the creator (or creators) to move to [[Jalinbeti]] to ply their craft.  To assist in their negotiations, Hedgewind gave Rayjok a special coin, that if rubbed with a wish for gold, would produce what wealth they would need to seal the deal.  Hedgewind promised rewards commensurate with the party's success.

 Once everything appeared dead, the party took the time to have a look around to see what this awful necromancer had been up to.  None of it looked good.  He had created a magic circle which had a glowing magic box in the center.  On 6 points of the circle, it appeared he had killed and bled a [[Grendel]] captive, discarding the corpses to the hallway... though possibly raising them into zombies first.  The magic circle created a protective ring around the box, which appeared to slowly dissipate as the blood dried and/or seeped into the floor.
-There were several cages in the room, two still containing live [[Grendel]] captives and one was known to [[Ghagon the Loyal]].  After a brief conversation, Ghagon and the party agreed to let the prisoners supply themselves and head back to [[Omirqatal]] to report that the necromancer had been slain.  They asked Ghagon to join them, but he insisted on staying with the party for now.

 The party looted the room for a case full of notes and books all in wizardly writings.  The notes described the experiments being done on the box, which turned out to be a [[Memes of Aspan|Meme of Aspan]] entitled [[On Governing Grendel]].  The party also recovered a Bag of Holding and a pair of Potions of Invulnerability... along with a sizable stash of gold. [[Caladan Ironforge]], picked among the giant undead's armor realizing that the armor was magical plate.  Determined that he could make the plate Caladan-sized, he put it in his bag for later.

 Upon arrival, the party was greeted on the road by The Rock's Grand Visier, [[Gulshara Rysbek]].  She had gotten everyone and much of the livestock to relative safety on the road while the undead zombies and skeletons roamed the halls of the keep.  Without pause, the party headed straight into the fray, descending into the keep's basement and crushing a nearly endless stream of [[Ungir]]-shaped zombies.

-As [[Rayjok Hyperion]] and [[Caladan Ironforge]] discussed their take on how to thwart the undead, a pair of unusual (for [[Koboldy Rock]]) persons at the breakfast table took a keen interest in the conversation.  [[Bubbles Littlefoot]], a [[Sweardælf]] sorcerer from [[Kiskentay]] introduced herself.  [[Natascha Khame]], a warlock with a telltale white streak in her hair, also took the opportunity to jump into the conversation.  As they discussed this they were interrupted by the [[Koboldy Rock]] guards.

 They had apprehended [[Ghagon the Loyal]], who they said was asleep, though may have been unconscious, following an attack on his group not too far from the keep.  Ghagon, a [[Grendel]] warrior said that his group was investigating a kidnapping near the border by an evil necromancer.  He said that the group had likely been kidnapped themselves.
-As this new conversation unfolded, [[Rayjok Hyperion]] was reminded of other groups of foreign warriors heading south and believed Ghagon's story.  He ordered Ghagon released and invited him into the party in order to go and deal with this undoubtedly nefarious necromancer.  [[Ghagon the Loyal]] agreed to lead the group to where his former party was going and the rest of the party welcomed him to their ranks.

 The next morning the party travelled the last few miles to a graveyard, where there appeared to be an entrance cut into the ground to an underground room.  The room, appeared to be the foyer of an underground mausoleum.  The foyer seemed cozy enough, with a pair of bookshelves containing information about the mausoleum and the persons interned there... those persons being former [[Ortalyk military]] commanders and heroes.
-With [[Caladan Ironforge]] and [[Ghagon the Loyal]] taking the point, Caladan kicked open the double doors to reveal a room full of partially armored, but fully armed skeletons. While the warriors hacked through the front ranks, [[Bubbles Littlefoot]], [[Natascha Khame]] and [[Spire]] cast spells from the rear.  [[Rayjok Hyperion]] engaged in some acrobatic jumping from one sarcophagus to the next, unleashing a fury of arrows at the hapless skeletons.  It was not long before they were all (and there were many) freshly re-killed.

-Unconvinced that the skeletons were the end of the problem, particularly because none of them appeared to be [[Grendel]], the party began to search the walls for hidden doorways.  [[Rayjok Hyperion]] was the first to spot a hidden door.  The party arrayed itself around the door while [[Bubbles Littlefoot]] pushed it open with a ''Mage Hand''.  [[Caladan Ironforge]] quickly stepped into the doorway to create a barrier between the party and a collection of freshly slain [[Grendel]] zombies.

 The zombies did their best to get past [[Caladan Ironforge]], but only one managed to do so and made it less than 5 feet into the room.  The Wall of Caladan was truly mighty this day.  Without using up their precious remaining spells, the party managed to put down the group of zombies and head for the final door.
