Alfodd, Deirdre, Amana (aka Reado), Trappo, Akim, and Saiiq go off to Nineveh, where we heard from Ramese II that Philip IV was holed up.We get a Divination that tells us to go there and mess with him, maybe get some loot, and get killed. So we do. We take out some spectres without losing levels, then get Akim and Saiiq get killed by a troupe of high level zombie monks. Our damaged party meets Nisroch, who doesn't kill us, then Philip IV shows up and kills Deirdre. Everyone fights them, then Alfodd Teleports most of us out before we all die. A quick team is assembled and we Teleport back and finish off Philip. Yay, there's some treasure! We get 420 lbs of gold, a shield that used to belong to Solomon, some scrolls, a spellbook, and a jar that contains a phlactery. Now, what should we do with that? Also, we find a message from Pythagoras to his monks, instructing them to go to Nineveh and kill his rogue student, G(ebelisis), using the quivering palm if necessary. I guess that didn't work out so well for them. Nisroch confirms that Gebelisis showed up and took the bloodstone which Sennacheribs sons had thrown down in the pyramid. He lived there a couple of hundred years, then went off. We label Nisroch and let him loose, to go back to whence he came: the Ark of Noah. Before he goes he tells us the antediluvian name of nineveh: Karsom (?). We explore the other half of the dungeon, and fight a floor monster and a crazy antediluvian klein-bottle stlye purple worm. No one dies, but just barely. We get a mirror that lets you write on stuff out of it, rest in the dungeon, then Teleport back to the tournament grounds. Harald has meanwhile remembered the recipe for potion of giant strength and scroll of pro dragon breath that he got from Thoth's library, as well as Enchant an Item.
