- party continued deeper into the tunnels, saw more bodies - some seeming to have been dead longer than they had been lying in their current location.
- found open are with zombies crawling out of a well. fought some, attempted to keep more from emerging.
- noticed approaching massive swarm of insects, took cover in a nearby building
- building contained a passage back to an altar room to some unidentifiable deity. a woman's body was lying at the foot of the altar in a pool of blood.
- the party was unable to keep part of the insect swarm out of the building, and Alina eventually fought it off by setting herself on fire - relying on her faith to save her from the flames.
- once the swarm had passed, party continued deeper into the tunnels.
- encountered a group of people attempting to fight off more zombies, aided
- continued into the deepest parts of the tunnels, found a long street that seemed to narrow as they went until rats burst out of adjacent buildings in a giant swarm.
- the party fought off some of the rats, but generally made a run for it in the direction they were heading - this took them to a place where the street narrowed into a more natural cave tunnel which terminated in a cracked opening into a large cavern.
- inside the cavern was a short man they'd seen before, when he noticed them the skeletons of the bodies that lay around him shrugged off their flesh and began shambling toward the party.
- in the midst of the resulting chaos, the party noticed the giant ooze-like demon clinging to the ceiling. It slid down, opening a huge jagged-toothed maw in an attempt to devour them.
- as they made their escape, the entrance to the cavern collapsed, sealing itself off from the rest of the tunnels.
- the party returned to the Sandstone Tower, discussed what they had encountered with each other, and made ready to leave the following morning.
- the next day, they saw to one or two errands in town, and then met the sphinxes to continue on their original journey.
