Our heroes began by examining some display cases emitting a faint light, finding nothing of note. They then set a giant statue ablaze after determining it was an incomplete flesh golem.
They retraced their steps to the last sighting of the eerie green light, which led down more stairs. Opting to stay on their current floor for further exploration, they opened a door and encountered a ghostly female drow who commanded them to scribe books in the room.
Observing her movement through a wall, they found a hidden door. Alongside this, a skeleton clutching a portrait of a male drow caught their eye, and they claimed its armor and a small key.
Seizing a moment of distraction provided by Thumper, Dreg snuck through the secret door and discovered an intriguing scroll, hinting at a contract with a devil.
Their exploration continued, leading to a room with two easily defeated ghouls and a secret door in the south. This door led back to a tunnel system that Tangletop navigated to reach the Thirsty Alpaca.
They then encountered a devil, bound by the contract they had found. Upon learning of his freedom, the devil thanked them and vanished, warning of two more devils: one above and one below.
Revisiting a previously encountered room, they faced a door they couldn’t open. Circling around, they discovered a strange ghoul tattooing an image of the ghost queen on some flesh. After a brief skirmish, the ghoul consumed the flesh and fought back but was ultimately defeated.
They encountered another unopenable door leading to the same area and swiftly dealt with another group of ghouls. The heroes then continued their exploration, ever bracing for the unknown lurking in the Abomination Vaults.
