Jewels of the Carnifex

We found ourselves in some sort of crypt with a large stone with cryptic runes and a pit with three skeletons in it. By a process of elimination we worked out that the runes mentioned a sacrifice by four people and that we were being pursued by the fourth member of the quartet Azazel. We decoded the bindings on the stone and moved it, where we were greeted by the Carnifex herself, who granted us a boon for the battle ahead. By dint of some clever spell casting we were able to paralyse most of the attackers, finishing the fight successfully in record time.

We left the dungeon and returned to the city above and resolved to find a way to see the Overlord. Sneaking in failed miserably by we still managed to talk to him by some fast talking and were told of a way that we could resurrect a fallen companion by talking to the fortune teller in the market, which of course we did.

She dealt a series of cards revealing Death, The Fool, The Moon and the Beggar giving us a boost of luck and a trail to follow to the temple of the Moon. We decided on the classic approach of breaking in through the sewers being blocked by a locked grate which our thief was attempting to open when we were attacked by a horde of ravening rats!
