Cogaday (Mid Day)

Arch Vedic Tim Tanner, Chief Constable Todd Stuffitt and Ivellios Tharanian arrive at the Tomb having lost the trail of the hostages.
They are attacked by another DeDannan Ogre Zombie which almost crushes Bob Charmer with a tree stump.
The Ogre Zombie is destroyed within a few seconds.
They spring the Warforged Charger trap and fight a few warforged before Ethan commands them to stop.
They all sing together and the statue of Setanta at Play starts playing, leading the choir of the dead in a chorus of Barbara Anne.
A similar scene plays out at the other end. Ethan puts his flail into the hand of a statue of Setanta at War.
This causes the chorus of the choir to become stronger and there is a just audible click heard by Bob.
After several attempts the Chief Constable manages to unlock the golden double doors.
They open the door to find a gruesome Fallen incubator. The walls of the room are covered in a purple slime that has hardened into a brittle cocoon.
Inside the cocoon is a DeDannan Ogre Bard from the Choir of The Dead. They attack the cocoon with weapon and flame.
The cocoon bursts open to reveal Ogre which has a massive tentacle protruding from it's forehead.
It uses it's mind powers to suggest that everyone attack each other. Bob's mind succumbs to the subtle influence. The other resist.
They all attack and inflict serious damage on the creature. Then it spays acid all over the room from it's mouth.
After that final attack it is swiftly destroyed.

They set to searching the slimy ichor covered walls of the room. The slime is running down the walls and down the corridor in writhing almost living tendrils. They spend much of their time dodging the slime and trying to resist it's evil magical effects.
Ivellios clears an area with by conjuring a magical splash of acid. The tendrils are badly burned by the acid but quickly the oily liquid pours back in from the rest of the soaking floor. Then they hear shouting and approaching footsteps above ground. They decide to stay in the strange room but move to defensible positions. The slime is now freely flowing down the passage

Lizardfolk attack. Held back by Charmer.
Some start to transform into mutant slime creatures.
Ivellios chases them for a while,
Namer activates the portal down into the tomb.
