Abomination Vaults (2) Session 4 Recap: The Gauntlight Awaken

The adventurers pressed forward, eager to uncover the secrets of the Gauntlight’s eerie glow. Their path led them to the lighthouse, where a locked door concealed a grisly sight—a fresh bloodstain, but no sign of a body or tracks. Pushing onward, they climbed to the top of the lighthouse, where the sickly light pulsed within a glass dome. Despite their best efforts, the barrier remained unbroken, forcing them to wait until nightfall in hopes of discovering its true purpose.

As darkness fell, the glow intensified, yet still remained untouchable. Frustrated, they descended, only to be greeted by a chilling apparition—a blood-red spectral woman rising from the stain they had discovered earlier. The entity lashed out, draining their very life essence, but after a fierce battle, the heroes vanquished it, watching in horror as the blood mist evaporated upward.

Determined to finish what they had started, the party followed the crimson vapor and found it reshaped into another monstrosity. Fortunately, the creature was vulnerable to fire, and with their formidable flames, they quickly reduced it to nothing.

Satisfied with their progress, they began their journey back to Otari—only to witness Gauntlight emitting a brilliant beam, striking the town. Alarmed, they followed its path to the graveyard, where shambling skeletons and zombies prowled among the tombstones. Battle erupted as they carved through the undead hordes, but as fresh horrors clawed their way from the earth, a new threat revealed itself—a monstrous, barbed insectoid behemoth.

The Gauntlight had stirred, and something far more dangerous had awakened alongside it. What new horrors lay in store for our heroes?
