The rats swarmed our unfortunate thief Tortuga and she dropped to the floor in a critical state. Fortunately a swift burning hands to deal with the rats followed by a healing spell saved the day. We climbed up through the now opened gate to explore, finding a grim looking charnel house with a blood spattered butchers block. Grimbol went through another door and was ambushed by an insane looking fellow with a hook. Both Grimbol and the attacker swung wildly and missed, before Tamira joined the fight and reduced the butcher to a red mist with a critical hit.
We then followed the sound of chanting up some stairs and discovered a robing room where we disguised ourselves as cultists before being attacked by a phantom bull. Another surprisingly quick fight ensued and then we followed the ever louder chanting into a large chamber where some sort of sacrifice was in progress and saw the high priestess with the Argent Falx sword (capable of severing the bonds of death) that we were intending to steal. We used an invisibility spell to follow the high priestess through a secret door into an ante-chamber where the sword was locked in a chest.
When the priestess and guards had left we made swift work of the lock (and the trap on the chest) and planned our escape route. Unfortunately the alarm was raised so we had to run for it, making it to a door that we could lock behind us in the nick of time! A most successful heist, all round!
