Steve turns to ash in front f the party Ellette cuts a piece of her bed roll and picks up the gem its cold to the touch. Kyo notes theres undead energy tied to the gem. We call everyone back to the city, Cedric informed Big Guy about Steve. The dead have been buried. The team approach Dagna to try explain the gem but she screams it's evil and tells us to 'fuck off' We the head over to Isolde. She's in the wizard tower, talking to her bird. She knows its evil, she presumes we've fought undead. This gem seems to be a phylactery. Kyo threatened Isoldes bird. Isolde is mad. She can't help us We go to the temple. We gather the 5 clerics of the temple and she them the gem. The clerics get stupid Ellette rolls her eyes gives the gem to Graxen and walking away. 50k gold and 2.5k of diamonds. IT is a phylactery of Aserask We pay the clerics to perform the ritual. Her body is restored but her soul bounces back into the gem. The clerics pass out the head cleric is eased.. The head cleric advises they could enter the gem. Grunk shows up and demands he can save Steve. He keeps showing off his hero licence. He sasses Cedric. The priest opens a portal in the crystal. The party enters. The necrotic energy can be felt in the area, there are three doors two open. A deep voice states "you came..." Crunk head towards the right door to the room with lights. The room is large with people in it. True name, imprisonment, would strength. The older should occupy the higher levels. We look for Steve in the lower section. A black pulse goes through the gems every now and again. We come to a gem to see memory of Steve's last moment. "Diamond Ember foot, present day, soul strength exceptional" Top is war lord 1000 years ago all show visions from last memory of death All will fail if he fails "Prime" There's visions of Aseras chanting 12 liches ingesting crystals in the next room Graxen took Steve's gem. As we leave the room we see the group of liches at the door they tretch out a hand "feed" Graxen throw another gem towards them and they begin taking the life from it As holding Steve the writing on the final door stops moving
