3rd cycle, 34th day, Year 5850
- For a while, it looked like possessed Kelal would kill his friends.
- Suddenly someone recalled that such a ghost was usually tied to a spot or an object, and figured it was tied to the skull that Bebe had picked up.
- Salazar moved to destroy the skull as Bebe went down, but before he could finish the job, the ghost, which by now had left the body of Kelal after he went down, caught up with the resident druid and brought him down with it's foul touch.
- Meanwhile, Bebe had gotten back on his feet and managed to destroy the skull with a well-placed blast.
- Searching the ruins turned up 3 pieces with the words Eternity, Destruction and Dragonsouls on them, just as the other dragon-statue ruin.
- On the corpses they found a scroll-case and two healing potions.
- The scroll was written in Deep Speech (Bebe used Comprehend Languages) and said:
According to the Night Wisps that the High Serpent Priest awoke last moon, the first step in order to free the entrapped spirit of Zzozth is to find and destroy the 5 dragon-soul statues. Divinations indicate that one such statue is located in the ancient city of Ssashar. Go explore and destroy the statue by using the ritual the Night Wisps taught us, but beware, the city is cursed and full of undead brethren. Be vigilant. I do not trust these blue creatures, after all, they were a servant race created at the dawn of time by the Caxuctu.
- After reading the scroll, the Green Gems decided it was not time for tackling the pyramid.
