Session begins with party on lower level of Corrimony Cairn. Brook, the sidhe, is outside the Cairn engaged in combat with two quickling foes. They have already exchanged spell attacks and the quicklings engage Brook in melee combat. There is a furious exchange of blows with Brook getting stabbed numerous times with the quickling’s slender blades. Finally, Brook lands a telling blow on a quickling and kills it. The other quickling flees. Brook searches the quickling body and recovers 2 potions, a turquoise, a small cairngorm, 70sp, 25 cp, 4 pp.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party is on the lower level of the Cairn in a heavy fog that restricts visibility to 2 feet. Rhyawdd is blind and being choked by spectral hands. Tarl is unconscious and being choked by spectral hands. Lianna is missing. Hendel and Gudrum are trapped in webs with the zombie spell-caster. Kieren and Lio are not engaged in combat. Lio checks on Tarl and determines that he is alive but fading fast from the choking hands. Lio uses his Ioun stone (no-air) on Tarl and it works to stabilize him so that the choking hands cause no further injury. Kieren is checking the stairway for the shadowy figure that fled past him. Hendel breaks free of the webs and calls to Lianna, who has disappeared. There is no response. Hendel cleaves the zombie, which causes it to explode. Hendel and Gudrum take damage from the bone shards and nails, but the webs are blown asunder.

At this point the party hears a rumbling from overhead and feels the ground shake. The party decides to flee the dungeon because they fear the zombie wizard is collapsing the place. Lio grabs the unconscious Tarl and Hendel leads the blind Rhyawdd by the hand up the stairs. The party discovers that they are trapped in the lower level because of a wall of bones. Gudrum draws his hammer and begins smashing down the wall of bones while Kieren guards his back. Four shadows appear from the within the wall of bones and attack and hit Gudrum and Kieren. Brook hears sounds of battle and yells for the party. They reply that they need help. Brook enters the Cairn and advances to the wall of bones blocking the passage. Four more shadows appear from the wall of bones and attack and hit him. Lio is searching Tarl to see if he has anything that the party can use to fight the shadows. He finds 4 Ioun stones, one of which is no-air and he gives it to Rhyawdd, who is down to 3 HP. Lio also finds the scroll of protection from Undead that Brook gave them. Lio reads the scroll and advances; he tells Kieren and Gudrum to fall back. The protection keeps the shadows at bay. Four more shadows appear and split up to attack the party and Brook. Lio draws his bow and begins destroying the shadows. Hendel helps with his dwarven thrower. Hendel kills one but accidentally hits Lio for 20 HP. Lio destroys 3 shadows. Brook flees the Cairn with the shadows in pursuit. The shadows stop at the entrance to the Cairn and daylight. Brook uses produce fire to burn the shadows and finishes off the last 2 with his sword (he destroys 6 in all.)

Hendel and Gudrum begin destroying the wall of bones with their hammers. Spectral hands appear around Hendel’s throat and begin choking him. A human wizard appears on the other side of the wall of bones and casts Cone of cold for 31 HP on Gudrum and half damage on Hendel. Gudrum goes down at –4 HP. Lio advances and shoots the wizards twice with arrows for 15 HP damage. The wizard ducks behind a wall for cover from Lio’s arrows. Meanwhile Hendel continues bashing an opening through the wall of bones. The heavy mist in the lower dungeon begins rising to the upper level and obscures the party’s vision to 2 feet. Brook sees the mist in the upper hall and evaporates it. As he does this a shadow-like figure advances toward Brook and then past him into the woods. Brook pursues the shadow-like figure and by phenomenal luck is able to track it through the woods and kill it with his sword. The killing blow causes the shadow-like figure to dissipate and a human (wizard?) appears on the ground. Brook gathers up the body and returns to the Cairn. En route the body re-animates and casts a spell on Brook who is choked by spectral hands that appear around his neck. Brook attacks the body repeatedly with his sword but the wounds appear to be healing immediately. After several rounds of attacks the wounds quit healing and the spectral hands choking Brook disappear..

Brook returns to the Cairn with his prize. The party has exited the Cairn and they are trying to revive Tarl and Gudrum. Brook uses "fairy magic" to bring Gudrum to consciousness. Brook casts precipitation to cleanse the party, who are cover with exploded zombie remains. Brook runs back to Glen Bruichaich to get help and is gone for an hour. During that time Tarl deteriorates to –4 HP. Brook returns with 3 X-tra healing potions supplied by the Sidhe. These are used on Tarl, Hendel, Rhyawdd, and Lio. Tarl, now conscious uses his healing magic to heal Hendel, Rhyawdd, and Lio.

Brook and Kieren examine the items that they found on the human body(a ring and a large blue marble). They determine what both items are (ring of spell turning and warp marble) but don’t know the command words for the marble. Tarl casts speak with dead twice to learn the words "Abluti" and "Pournish" to enter and exit the marble. When Tarl utters the word "Pournish" Lianna appears next to the marble. Lio experiments with the marble to enter and exit it. Lianna casts translate 5 times to peruse Estelle’s spell books looking for cure blindness or dispel magic to heal Rhyawdd’s blindness. She finds none. The party camps at the Cairn for 2 nights to heal up. It is uneventful. Tarl heals the party with. It is October 15 and Lianna casts wraithform and enters the Cairn to see if there are any remaining undead. She finds none, but recovers the magic items being used by the zombie spell-caster (ring, bracers, staff, gem, Ioun stone.) She returns to solid form and takes the items out of the dungeon. Tarl casts detect magic on them and they all radiate strong magic. Kieren and Brook examine them and determine what everything is but the Ioun stone (Ring-protection +3, Bracers AC2, Staff of striking, Gem of brightness). Tarl casts speak with dead on the dead body to learn two of the command words for the gem of brightness (light beam and flash). Tarl casts speak with dead twice to ask the wizard where his spell books are (Answer: In my tower) and where his tower is (Answer: North of Loch Duich)

The party dices for the treasure and divide it as follows: Rhyawdd – ring of prot. +3; Brook – Ring of spell turning ; Lio – Warp marble; Gudrum-Bracers AC2;

Lianna – Gem of brightness; Kieren – Ioun stone – spell absorbing;

Tarl – staff of striking; Hendel – potions of levitation and treasure finding.
