===The Sleeper's Tomb===

The next day, the Challengers encountered priestesses of the [[Raven Queen]] escorting the body of a paladin named [[Sir Malagant]]. They priestesses explained that he was a paladin of [[Wee Jas]] who, long ago, had given his life defeating a great evil from the [[Far Realm]] known as the Sleeper. His body was taken to a nearby temple where an exarch of Wee Jas appeared and told the clerics that they must consecrate his body with a special ritual a hundred years hence. That day had now come, and they were on their way to the site of his final battle to perform the ritual. While they spoke, however, a group of cultists attacked and made off with Sir Malagant's body. The priestesses asked them to retrieve his body. Kalth swore, in the name of the Raven Queen, that they would succeed in this quest.

They tracked the cultists to a nearby hill where the mouth of a carving of an immense stone face formed a tunnel into the hill. They were met there by more cultists guarding the entrance, including a tiefling on a hippogriff. Kalth leapt up onto the hippogriff and tried to drag it down, but failed and fell. On the way down Kalth hurled a rock that struck the hippogriff in the head, killing it and causing its body to fall on the monk. The tiefling vanished in a burst of hellfire. The heroes proceeded down into the hillside, finding themselves in a massive tomb complex that the Sleeper's followers had built for it. They learned that the tiefling, [[Volkanth]], had recently received prophetic dreams that led him to rebuild the Sleeper's cult in preparation for its return.

While sleeping in the tomb, the Challengers were beset by horrible nightmares of a man with empty eye sockets, screaming that they stole his eyes. Though disturbed, this strengthened their resolve to destroy such a potent evil. After passing a variety of torture devices and sacrificial chambers, they found a skeletal horse animated by a magic bridle that Kalth took ownership of. The monk also found, and began wearing, a black cloak with a demon's skull sewn into the hood, its horns protruding upward. As they continued through the tomb the cultists got more and more paranoid and deranged. They also encountered a variety of [[aberration]]s and fiendish traps. When they came at last to where the Sleeper itself was entombed, they beheld Volkanth and his inner circle involved in a dark ritual. Blood dripped down from the ceiling towards the mummified body of Sir Malagant, a hole carved in his chest where a horrific tentacled creature curled and drank the blood offered to it. It was clear from the cultists' intonations that this was the Sleeper.

In the ensuing battle Kalth was nearly slain by the cultists. In the moments before death, however, Kalth beheld a vision of the Raven Queen herself, who healed the monk's wounds. With the help of this divine boon, they were able to slay Volkanth and his cultists, as well as the Sleeper before it could be reborn in Sir Malagant's body. They returned the paladin's body to the priestesses, who performed a ritual of their own. At its conclusion, Sir Malagant's soul appeared in the air, pledged himself to Wee Jas for eternity, and lanced into the sky. Kalth found a newfound reverence for the Raven Queen as a result of the vision, but as their philosophies were too different the monk did not become a true worshiper. However, the experience inspired Kalth to research the various deities and religions of the world.
