The Choir of The Dead

AK510-37 Cool Summer End Week 1
[Charon Ruling, Shale Sleeping, Cycles Resting]
(Festival of The Orb: Charon: Craft, Combat and Feasts)

Cogaday (Morning)
The seal rolls back once the test is passed and reveals a wide entrance chamber sloping down towards a set of golden double doors.
They enter the chamber and examine the frescoes depicting Setanta Fochlachan life.
After some well educated, wild guess work, they figure out the door passwords.
The door opens to reveal what appears to be a large white marble concert hall. But there is no stage.
Ethan plays his lute to dispel the illusion clad force wall found by Appleby. They find the stage behind it.
Then he plays the huge five ton concert harp on the stage. The four magical glass guardian statues do not attack.
The double doors to the Hall of the Choir of The Dead open once he manages to play well enough.
They step into the 200 foot long corridor behind the door and see well lit cases holding preserved De Dannan ogre and minotaur bodies.
Some of these cases have been smashed and the occupants are missing.
Several large shapes move towards them.
They are De Dannan Ogre Zombies with small trees freshly ripped from the ground as clubs.
Filled with hate for the undead, Appleby charges recklessly at them, his druidic powers all but forgotten.
They almost kill Ethan, Appleby and Bob. Bob flees. Some lucky attacks of opportunity save the day.

Bob 'Split the party' Charmer, who had fled the zombies is then attacked by a couple of De Dannan Minotaur Zombies coming from the opposite direction. He manages to escape by fleeing again this time with his spade arrows flying into the undead as he moves.
Appleby summons fire, hippogriffs and the power of the staff before entering battle and does serious damage to the undead.
Ethan sings and invokes Fileadh's power to strengthen his music. The power of The Tomb flows through them and they are filled with a heroic surge far beyond the power of mortal music.
Ethan then prays to the Gods for help. Fileadh responds. He reminds Ethan of the Eversong Song. Ethan is fleetingly linked to Fileadh as he plays a fraction of a chord of the Eversong. He uses the music to describe his wounded body and then he subtly changes the music to describe his body as healthy. The music of The Eversong changes reality to match it's notes and the horrible wounds inflicted by the ogres are healed.
Ethan is now fully committed to converting to Fileadh.
Charmers spade arrows along with Ethan's Charon attuned combat abilities and Appleby's impressive druidic onslaught of spell and staff, win the day.
