Other useful pages:

* Current Secrets
* The Tomb of the Tyrant King

## Start

PCs have just defeated Alsom and prevented him from unbinding Orcus & Bahamut mid-fight. A ten foot wide crater has appeared in the floor above where he was chanting his rituals. The gods loom overhead, frozen. After several minutes of intense fighting, they finally can catch their breath.

## Todo/Happenings

* Eli grabbed the large black gem
	+ divine energy coming out of the gem, not necromantic --> likely not a phylactery
* Is there a way to unbind one of the gods without the other? No
	+ Both gems in one spot are required to unbind the gods
		- cannot destroy the gems without unbinding the gods
		- Decision to hide the gems
	+ How do the PCs ensure secrecy? Modify memory?
* Phyrra dies—"Go, there are other worlds than these."
* As they leave, Eli sets a Symbol of Death at the door to the chamber (spell save DC 18). Constellation looks like a skull
* Loot
	+ 16000 gp, 2000 pp, Silver Crown inlaid with Silver (750 gp), Silver Flask set with Garnet (750 gp), Bronze Chainmail (750 gp), Silver Crown inlaid with Silver (750 gp), Double-bladed scimitar of vengeance, Ioun Stone of Agility (purple tesseract)
* Resealing
	+ Hayama starts knocking over statues and blocking paths
	+ Eli takes the three door sealing gems away
	+ Karyn makes the three way split (catacombs, mind flayers, and the correct passage) more difficult to navigate (DC 18). Rimi helps by adding thieves' cant in the wrong directions
	+ Eli gives the sealing stones among the party and gives the dark gem stone to Cayden
	+ Baron fireballs the escape tunnel in the Hall of Warning, the staircase from temple interior, and the catacombs to cause cave-ins
	+ Cayden uses Bigby's Hand to cause cave ins too
	+ Eli and Baron drag the bodies around so they are not in a formation
		- Leave a new note in Celestial saying "the Great Work is completed and now we can die"
	+ Temple is back into the prime material plane after being unsealed
		- Blight also exists and will slowly spread/corrupt the area
