(Previous beholder fight eeps: 3625 each)
The heroes (Idky, Yavin, Athos, Artec, Katya, Hamish, Sabrina, Ishmopah, and Kinsa) wait for several hours for Yavin to psi heal the party up to respectable levels and then recover his mental strength. They also search the pit for treasure, finding:
7 silver-headed javelins (10 gp ea)
After Idky casts find traps, the heroes continue on down the corridor. They encounter a mechanical trap at a turn in the hall. A number of the party search for some lever or other device to deactivate the trap. Sabrina casts detect invisibility and sees a stone golem camouflaged against the wall in the corner. The button to deactivate the trap is next to the golem. Yavin connects everyone’s mind with Sabrina’s, and Artec fires an arrow at the button and deactivates the trap.
Yavin uses his precognitive ability to predict the future. He sees Artec and Hamish walk around the corner, and the golem pounds them. So Hamish walks up and attacks it. The golem hits him and gets super-slowed. Ishmopah kills the thing in one series of attacks. It takes 12 minutes for Hamish’s slow effect to wear off. They continue on.
They come to stone double doors. After casting several buffing spells on the party and the front-line fighters, they try the door. It won’t budge. Ishmopah offers his two-handed sword to Sabrina to use its knock ability on the door. It doesn’t work. They then notice that the door is made of the black crystal, which absorbs magical energy. Hamish forces open the door with brute strength, revealing a huge room.
There are very strange motifs and statues of multiple hybrid animals all over the walls. There is a gigantic circular calendar in the ceiling. Sabrina exclaims when she sees something invisible. As Yavin attempts to link everyone’s minds with Sabrina, they notice a black fog forming in the center of the room. Sabrina screams at Yavin to not get into her mind, and she nearly loses it. She describes a creature that looks crazy scary. Yavin collapses. Artec shoots into the mist, and it passes harmlessly through the fog. Idky casts prayer. Kinsa drags Yavin back around the corner. Katiya steps around the corner, faces the fog, and casts dismissal at it. The fog disappears. She then casts detect summons to see the rift. It doesn’t go to an outer, inner, or alternate (prime) plane. She tries to lock it with her gate key, but it just activates the gate again. The fog starts to roil up again. They run back to the corridor.
Artec starts shooting at it. His arrows seem to have no effect. The creature slowly forms into a twisted, monstrous form. It suddenly has Artec’s bow and his archery skill. It shoots at him, and Artec dodges out of the way. A trick shot nearly hits Hamish. Hamish and Ishmopah charge. Sabrina casts mirror image.
As the fighters attack, its bow turns into sword and attacks Hamish. Hamish finds that his sword doesn’t do any damage to the creature. Sabrina casts sever at it. It manages to close the rupture. The creature is now locked into its current form. Sabrina runs up and starts attacking it as well. Artec now finds that his arrows can damage it. Unfortunately, that attracts its attention. It floats over to him and starts to attack him. Hamish kills it from behind with a shield bash. It bursts all over everyone in an explosion of black slimy fibers.
Sabrina sees a pair of invisible doors at the opposite end of the room. After healing Hamish some, they open the secret doors. They reveal stairs that go down into a room completely submerged in water. They decide to try to open the other black double doors that lead out of the room. Hamish and Artec manage to open it, but it activates the gate again. On the other side of the doors are ten lizardmen warriors (zombies) standing at attention. They begin to move toward the fighters. Black fog starts to roil again.
