The red star burnt the night sky like a lidless eye stretching its gaze across the world. Sheri The Lawless One moved her company across the monastery threshold. She had lost contact with Vartain her former lover & 'business partner'. She had warned him & brought him here after she had sent 'Thama The Twisting Acrobat' & her party of outlaws here. Now Vartain & the girl who was like a daughter to Sherri had both been swallowed by this place. She brought her Lawless Ones to back her up. They were using the crypt door provided by the old hallow toothed hermit's map. The party made 160 feet into the crypt when she felt the cold lidless eyes staring at her from the darkness. 
She saw Vartain's face to late before his wrapped hand had touched her between breast & chest. Her face was happy, then panicked, & then horrified all in miroseconds as the thing that had once been her husband. She cut the hand off but the creeping cold of 'the Other Place' crept across her flesh bringing the hungry other worldly rot with it. She whirled fast catching the arm & cutting off within the blink of an eye.The Lawless finished the mummy that had been Vartain with oil & fire. The carefully wrapped corpse smoldered with silent screams from no working vocal cords. 
Why had the undead monks wrapped Vartain's corpse? She had her answers & needed gold for the alien Har'ca priests to cure 'the rot' that was working its way through her cells. They burnt everything they found in the room & quickly left there was something very dangerous in this place!
