Pulling back the dragon scale curtains, the room, cloaked in darkness contained at least two more sarcophagi. Lurking about the room were two ravenous, green skinned undead. While Sir Loin and Edhas crept in to deal with the creatures, four wraiths emerged from the sarcophagi and surrounded the two! A third ghast surged around the corner and joined the fray. Although the party threw their hearts into the battle, most of their attacks against the wraiths were weakened by the insubstantiality of the undead. With perseverance and grit, the party destroyed the undead and found themselves in another burial chamber. Sir Loin noticed small amounts of mortar, dust and gravel around the base of the sarcophagi and quickly surmised that the crypts had been opened and resealed. Without resistance from the paladin, the group opened the coffins. Although all four contained the defiled remains of Abbey guardians, the Northeastern one contained what Sir Oakley quickly identified as the Bowl of Io's Blood - the second ritual artifact needed in the purification ritual. Although the Bowl was empty, if filled with holy liquid from the font in the earlier room, the Bowl was capable of great offensive power.
Other than the other dragon scale curtain, the room contained no obvious exits.
