Session 24 (400 xp)

"Success is commemorated. Failure merely remembered."

Acolytes: Meghera, Aenid, Marnix, Dar, Monroe.

The Acolytes make their way through the mourners, and barricade themselves in one of the many rooms of the Crematorium. It soon becomes evident that the Widow wants her cup to be filled by the blood of Dar, blood that needs to come from his beating heart.

The House of Dust and Ash is encased by a void field, and the nearby volcano begins to release deadly magma. If the chalice is not filled before 13 hours have passed, the void field will open up, and all will die a fiery death.

Not willing to sacrifice a fellow Acolytes, the party makes its way through a few killing teams, and manage to aquire some items from the auction hall. Meghera places a mysterious bracelet on her arm, which is then revealed as an Halo Device.

Empowered by the device, the Acolytes have a final showdown with the Slaught Overseer, Master Nonesuch, who is holding the only key capable of opening the Haarlock Crypt.

After a bloody fight, the Slaught is defeated, and the Acolytes can access the Crypt, where they find a control panel. By activating the panel, they create an opening in the void field, allowing them to escape the House.

The Acolytes reach the sky-docks, and leave behind the cursed place.
