Dark Sun chronicle

Session 06

📍 Location

The dry channel south of Kurn, Pip and Oren’s wrecked caravan, and the Tally-Halls of the Hollow King

⚔️ What Happened

  • Taji led the party to Pip and Oren’s wrecked caravan. Through impressions and emotions, the two dead men conveyed their story to him; Taji laid them to rest, and they permitted the party to salvage the caravan.
  • The familiars opened the way into the Tally-Halls of the Hollow King but refused to cross the cursed threshold. The party entered alone, endured the curse, and navigated the labyrinth.
  • The party found an underwater mass grave of former slaves. Terrified and injured, they nevertheless made it through.
  • In a wide corridor before the final chamber, murals showed Daskinor before the Great War receiving power from an unnamed evil defiler, then commanding thousands of branded slaves to war.
  • Red destroyed the final chamber’s door. Beyond it were faint, sealed murals and a pre-incantation that could unlock them. The party sensed a friendly presence had been there and that their brands had drawn them to the chamber, while the undead tried to keep its contents hidden.
  • This friendly presence somehow prepared the chamber to reveal the clues.
  • The chamber’s undead guardians ambushed the party. After a difficult battle, they destroyed the branded wight; the remaining skeletal soldiers vanished.

🏃‍♀️ TL;DR

  • Taji laid Pip and Oren’s souls to rest and received permission to salvage their caravan.
  • The party survived the cursed Tally-Halls and an underwater mass grave of former slaves.
  • Murals revealed Daskinor’s old power and command over branded slaves.
  • The final chamber’s sealed murals remain to be unlocked after the party defeated its undead guardians.
