2nd of Bonfires
The Reclaimants made their way to the under temple and founda horde of zombies being led by a zombie that looked similar to a depiction at the entrance of the catacombs of Rector Ipsar. The party made quick work of dispatching the zombies, with Adom wiping out many of them with heal spells. Rector was able to cast spells and seemed as though he was going to be a formidable foe. Aurent closed in on him ,but unfortunately misfired with his spell, empowering Ipsar. Ipsar enfeebled Aurent, and it seemed that the tides were about to turn, but Leith managed to shoot an arrow straight through Ipsar;s skull and ended his reign. A few zombies remained and Tanythe managed to take out the last one.
Ipsar had a large scythe and a strange black orb. The party decided to take it back to the priests so that they may be properly stored (and maybe reward the party in turn, we totally didn't discuss just stealing them). Before leaving the catacombs, the party decided to explore the remaining halls to ensure that they had gotten rid of all of the zombies. They discovered a ladder leading up to a covered hach that had been disguised as rocks. They speculated whether Antipho was perhaps responsible for the zombie uprising, but didn't explore the thought any further than that.
The Reclaimants returned to Vincentius and handed over the items they had retrieved. Vincentius informed the party that the orb was granted to priests once they had reached a certain status and it was meant to keep them safe when sleeping. He rewarded the party with a similar orb as thanks for their help.
TLDR: Boss monsters aren't so scary if you can crit them before they cast any really bad spells
