Tasnim, Samirah, Tiberius, Asbah, Abdul, and Alexander rest in the village for a day where they meet Mahmud, an undead hunter who believes the ruins beyond the ashiras' grove contain undead. In the morning, Mahmud accompanies the party as they make their way back to the ruins. Asbah's reading of the cards show that so long as they remain in the village, they will never be rescued...
The party travels all day to the werehyena's cave without incident. The next day, the journey to the ashiras' grove is likewise without incident. The following day the group heads to the ruins, arrive just before mid-day. They spy two sets of ruins -- one small and the other larger with four out-buildings. On top of the larger ruin are for gargoyles and around the base are two giant scorpions. The party heads toward these and when they get within 300' the gargoyles begin singing an enchanting melody that charms Tiberius, Abdul, Alexander, and Mahmud...until Samirah sings a counter-song!
Asbah has Waaha fetch a fly spell that she puts on Tiberius after he gets a silence stone from Tasnim. The boy-fighter then hacks one gargoyle-harpy out of the air, sending her plummeting to the party and engages two more. One is blasted by magic missiles from Alexander and Asbah, causing it too to fall. Slowly, the heroes work through all four of the winged monsters and then turn their attention to the giant scorpions. Unfortunately, Samirah, Tiberius, and Alexander are all stung, requiring three more gulps of anti-toxin.
Battered, the heroes have reached the protruding top of the large ziggurat
