The party (Idky, Yavin, Athos, Artec, Katya, Hamish, Sabrina, Ishmopah, Kinsa, and Remort) decides to brave the submerged watery passageway behind the secret door. There are shadows in the water, but Hamish's light of wisdom turns them away and the heroes finish them on the other side of the passage.
The watery passage leads them to another set of stairs up that ends in a set of bronze double doors. Artec and Hamish break it down. The room on the other side is very much like the large room they just came from, but with large wings at the far end extending to the left and right. The room is covered in frost and rubble from the crumbled domed ceiling. They fighters are greeted with a blast of cold air that forms frost on them.
Then a spectral lizardman and four lizardman juju zombies rush and attack Hamish, Artec, and Hamish as they enter the room. Idky casts prayer before entering and as the others emerge from the water. He also casts control temperature, 10’ radius, to make it comfortable for everyone. The fighters finish off the monsters quickly, and they all move into the room and investigate. There are three bronze double doors, and they go through the ones down the left wing.
Kinsa is the only one able to force the doors open. It opens into a long hallway with winged serpents in bas relief all along the walls. The hall ends in bronze double doors. Artec forces these open. They open to a rounded rectangular room with bronze double doors at the opposite end. There are very small alcoves on the side walls. The room is covered in a very fine dark green dust. Otherwise it is pretty bare.
Hamish flicks a copper coin into the room, and it stirs up dust eddies. Idky pulls some of the dust with his finger to examine it, and the dust swirls up to form a shape like his own. Artec shoots it with an arrow, and he also stirs up dust that forms into another shape.
A fight ensues, and the party finds that any non-magic weapons they use seem to suffer some aging effect. Sabrina’s magic missiles seem to be effective. But they do something weird. After the missiles hit, they back out of the body and repeat the attack over and over until they do almost no damage. When the creatures hit, they age their opponent. They also tweak the past, doing something that causes them pain/damage in the present moment. Yavin is able to faerie fire them. Katiya, after severing one of them, becomes ravenously hungry and thirsty and spends time drinking and eating.
Idky tries something and casts hesitation at the creatures, but it rebounds and affects Sabrina instead. Oops! They finally kill the creatures and move through the room. Remort opens the doors which leads to another set of bronze double door. Artec opens these ones, and the party is back to the winged room they started from, but on the other wing. Hamish opens the third set of double doors. It leads to a set of stairs up that are magically and mechanically trapped.
Idky dispels the magical trap and casts stone shape on the stairs to disable the mechanical trap. They get up the stairs and come to a huge dragon head that once had a glyph.
