The heroes (Taarna, Rhom, Wynd with Thundr, Saanau, Brock, Esmerelda with Drusilla, Tolus, and Moonlight) continue their exploration of the Bloodstone mines and battle both type III demons as well as stone giants. After one fight, Thundr catches the scent of the Grandfather of Assassins and Saanau uses a detect invisibility to give chase, but the rest of the party is caught in a melee. Taarna then tracks the assassin with her charmed orc's help back to his lair. A deadfall separates the party further, so that Taarna, Rhom, and Brock battle a greater basilisk alone while Saanau and Moonlight try to extract Wynd from under many statues. Tolus, Thundr, and Esmerelda are trapped away from the group.
The heroes go after the Grandfather of assassins, who slips away into a large mining chamber. Saanau's spell helps locate him and a fumble seriously hampers his get away. But the lack of light and number of obstacles in the room work to the assassin's advantage so that only Wynd easily catches up. Saanau tries to hold the assassin down as Wynd hacks off an arm, but it fails. Wynd does manage to get one ring off the man, but it is not the right one and he disappears. The heroes then find the latest active bloodstone vein in the mines before healing up and returning to Klarr where nearly everyone is restored to health.
