The next challenge on the parties journey through the Tomb of Trakas was an ancient sacrafice chamber. The sign on the ,door read "Peasants must Perish, so Kings may rise again".
The chamber featured a suspended platform about a deep pit filled with bones. From the pit rose several wraiths and skeletons. The strongest of these foes was the Boneshard Skeleton. The party used excellent tactics to win this battle easily. Jhunter successfully shoved the Boneshard off the edge of the platform and into the pit. With the strongest enemy taken out of the fight, they made short work of the rest of the undead enemies.
Past the sacrifice chamber, the party at last reached the burial place of Trakas Wingsong. Fabulous treasures left for him at his return waited on two large tables. These treasures were trapped within a layer of petrification. When Merdosh touched the stone crown, it turned back to gold. And when he placed it on his head, the rest of the treasures were freed.
Dawning the crown also opened a magic portal. From this portal emerged a wraith-like figure, which entered Merdosh's body. This was the spirit of Trakas Wingsong.
From the portal also emerged 11 kobolds, and a young green dragon, who had been left in magical stasis to serve Trakas upon his return.
The party hid Medosh/Trakas from the kobolds and dragon, hoping to avoid a battle. Eventually the dragon grew impatient, and a fight began.
As usual Samm confronted the strength of the enemy head on, charging the dragon and knocking it prone. Soon after, Jhunter successfully put the dragon unconscious with his Sleep power (a critical hit, and two missed saving throws by the dragon). While the dragon was asleep, the party unleashed more than 90 points of damage on him in a single found.
This turned out to be a surprisingly easy victory for the party. When the game resumes, things will have to be much tougher.
