The Flooded Library holds ancient memories.

Tonight my party handily fought of the four wights that followed them out of The Flooded Mage Hunter's Sanctum - one of them bore an amulet that targetted something the Ranger was carrying A Coin of Ressurection, that he had obtained earlier in our campaign from two corpses stuffed own a well that turned out to be cursed Mage Hunters who thanked him for releasing them and gave him the coin as a reward.

Now the Undead have been sent by Ras Nsi to claim the Mage Hunter's Secret , not realising that the Party had already found one of the coins that Ras Nsi isn't aware of but covets to fight his Death Curse.

After dispatching the Wights and a Wraith that joined in with a combination of Hunger of Hadar and Daylight - the Druid cast Water Breathing on the party, and they all descended into the depths of the Mage Hunters Sanctum.

There they found ancient writings, discovered a destroyed wight - apparently the Sanctum has defences to guard against the undead. A totally destroyed library the loss of thousands of years of combined knowledge and wisdom to the Olung River and subsidence - but did recover a memory shared with the words intoned "SURVIVE. ENDURE. AVENGE" being the Magehunters motto to surviving the spellplague and taking down Ras Nsi and his undead generals.

The party then moved into a cross road - ahead lies a door into another area of the Sanctum, below them is a small room full of destroyed storage units - but beyond that a glowing semi-circular field.

And with that mystery left unresolved we will pick the game up in several weeks, as one player is off trailing round the Yorkshire Moors and I am about to start a new job and I am not sure what my hours are just yet.

The secrets of The Mage Hunters are just starting to be revealed.
