Cymoril and Taarna speak with, Tarjar, the Son of Kord the party rescued from the Zargon. Unfortunately, Tarjar becomes irritated at Cliffy and the two go to blows. The ancient Suel grabs ahold of the elf, who tries to fly to safety, to no avail. Several volleys of magic missiles (including a few from Wynd) as well as a drubbing along the Nyr Dyv do not drop him, though terminal velocity nearly does. Unfortunately, Cliffy is wrecked in the process. Wynd uses another volley of missiles to take out Tarjar and rescue Cliffy. Taarna manages to talk the situation down, but the party needs to rest and heal a bit.
The next day, the party (Taarna, Rhom, Wynd with Thundr, Brock, Esmerelda with Drusilla, Cymoril, Cliffy, and Tolus) return to Suendrako with Sage. The High Priestess and Cymoril pray in the temple while the rest of the party keeps watch and ponders the underground city from the temple's doors. That's when seven greater wraiths (lawful spectres) arrive and attack. Soon 15 more join those. The heroes are seriously drained. Brock and Tolus are nearly turned into undead and both are drained to 1st lvl. After the fight, Esmerelda and Sage restore most of the lost life energy and heal the party.
The group then crosses the massive, underground metropolis, guided in part by Taarna, but mostly guided by Tarjar's memory of the location of the Temple of the Magi. While crossing the ruined city, the heroes battle giant scorpions before being ambushed by fire newts. The battle is decidedly one-sided though on fire newt blows a hunting horn. A dragon's roar answers...
