Ivan's account (Scamdalf)

After seeing the dreaded bone-tornado in session 6 and the great treasures it protected, the party was determined to find a way to steal it. Our plan was to dig a hole directly above the treasures and send someone down via rope. We recruited a team of ten builders and a guard force of 5 men and women.

The assembled team head off for the crypt, with Finkel, Dhra'gaar, Scamdalf, Rocco, Beefcake and Ghille on horseback.
Along the way we encountered a group of injured adventurers asking for help, after a small huddle we decided to spare them a fighting man to accompany them home. (No word back - likely all dead).

Upon reaching the barrow we set everyone to work with shovels, taking a good 2 hours before we hit the room below. Peering down into the dark and realized the hole wasnt exactly in the position we had hoped, the plan had gone slightly awry. Dhra'gaar bravely announced he would be willing to be lowered down. After descending into the room he touched one of the chests and the winds began to stir behind him. The great bone tornado had awoken, Dhra'gaar was engulfed.

Again the plan needed to be changed.

Two new plans were thought up, one involving luring it out with poor Ghille, the other (more sensible) plan was to collapse the entire roof over the tornado. We set about with our shovels to destroy the roof.

The mound collapsed! Crushing the tornado beast near completely. Ghille, Beefcake, Kalis and Finkel snuck inside, grabbing all the treasure and giving the half alive abomination a good poke with their weapons.

Everyone went home to celebrate a very successful trip. Except Ghille who died opening a poisoned chest.

Lessons I learnt

Hire as many people as you can afford.
