==== II-N-2) Congal's Tomb ====

== Editor's Note ==

//This was a [[Good Party]] adventure run some time in 1983.  It was an offshoot of
the tedious [["Mountain Crossing"]] adventure.//

== Page 1 ==

Outside this crumbling building are 10 GARGOYLES (AC 5, MV 9"/15",
HD 4+4, #AT 4, D d3/d3/d6/d4, hp 29, 26, 24, 21, 3x20, 18, 16, 15)
which appear to be ornamental statues.  As the party approaches,
however, they will attack.

Inside is a small shrine used ages ago to pay homage
to the dead.  Lying & "sitting" around are 22 human
corpses which are actually 22 GHOULS (AC 6, MV 9", HD 2, #AT 3,
D d3/d3/d6+paralyzation, hp 14, 13, 12, 10, 8, 3x7, 5, 4, 2x2,
13, 12, 10, 2x9, 4x8, 7)((This adventure was originally written with 12 Ghouls, but later changed to 22)).
There is no treasure here.  To the right and left are doors
which lead into 2 identical areas where sarcophagi are
kept.  There is no treasure here, just centuries old coffins.

Downstairs: All undead are turned as if they were 1 place higher.

(1) In this room are 24 SKELETONS (AC 7, MV 12", HD 1, #AT 1, D d6, hp
variable(1-8)).

(2) In six, large, ornamental coffins here are 6 MUMMIES (AC 3,
MV 6", HD 6+3, #AT 1, D d12+disease+fear, hp 39, 35, 32, 31, 27, 22).
In their coffin is a silver pendant set w/gems (500 gp) and
750 gp.

(3) This is a storage/sleeping area.  In here now are 2 CLERICS (AC 4
(Chain/Sh), MV 9", 2nd level, #AT 1, D d6+1 (mace) + spells (3 first), hp 14, 10).
One carries a large black opal in a belt pouch (1500 gp).

D d4+spells (MMissile x 2, Sleep, Shield & Invisibility x2)), and CONGAL an
evil half-orc fighter lord (see accompanying sheet).  If any
combat has gone on in area (3), these people will be aware
and cannot be surprised.  Congal wears a gold and silver medallion
set with gems which depicts a setting moon painted blue and
white.  It is worth 1000 gp and represents Hecate.  <del>The 6th level 
cleric also carries a potion of Extra Healing.</del>  Also here are 2 HELL
HOUNDS (AC 4, MV 12", HD 6, #AT 1, D d10+breath, hp 32, 20).

== Addendum for Congal's Tomb ==

All during the wilderness encounters (on every even day), the
Great wizard [[Edric]] will look in on the party (as per
Cleric spell //Magic Font// via his wife, [[Tacey]]) for <del>16</del> 1 round
duration.  It will just so happen that on this day, 
Edric will start to look in on them just at the 
start of the battle in room (4).  If anything serious
happens, the wizard will cast //Minor Gate// and send [[LAMAR]],
DEMON-TOPPLER through.  After Lamar cleans up the
remaining evil nasties, the wizard himself will step through.
He is <del>21st</del> 18th level and has the following spells memorized:
