Chapter 13 - Karavakos (The Pyramid of Shadows - Part 3)

Now on the third level of the Pyramid, they face a real labyrinth of Souls, guarded by four-armed skeletons and ghosts. After a difficult battle, in which Fermin and Galen lose their lives, the party overcomes the threat and retreat to regain strenghts.

Back into the fray, they enter in a chamber rapidly obscured by magical fog, as many stealthy creature ambush them in the darkness. The heroes rapidly retreat, and decide to explore a different wing of the complex.

They face several Battle Wights in ancient catacombs, a Skull lord and his Vampire minions in an unholy chamber dedicated to undeath, and finally one more splinter of Karavakos' soul in a chamber completely built from bones... bones who still answer to the commands of Karavakos!

After a difficult fight the Heroes defeat Karavakos and his Ogre skeleton guardians, and aquire the third key to reach the inner sanctum of the one true Karavakos.

Facing 3 magical doors, our heroes deiscover the secret combination to open them, and finally reach the top of the Pyramid, where they must face TWELVE Karavakos!

Luckily, only one of them is the real necromancer, and the group manages to bring him on the edge of destruction. Filled with arcane energies not anymore under his control, Karavakos literally explodes in a flash of eldritch light, destroying part of the Pyramid.

The Head of Vyrellis floats in front of the heroes, and after thanking them, she utters the words: "It's time to go back home".

The party is blinded by radiant light, as all around them disappears.
