The heroes (Ichi, Shang-Lung, Corona, Klornap, Shayana, Zylvanar with Nikaris, and Bruenor) spend more than a week among the deep gnomes. Corona and Zylvanar use their stone shape spells with the guidance of the gnomish engineers to create a secret entry into Deep Earth. Meanwhile, Shang-lung uses the time to teleport himself and Ichi back to the Greyhawk region where the two monks visit Greyhawk, Portown, and Ningal to obtain potions, scrolls, magical items, and spells. They learn about most of the magical items the party has found and obtain lots of supplies before returning. Back in the Underdark, the heroes divide the treasure found to this point and prepare for an all-out assault on the Temple of Orcus.
On the evening of the 16th, Shang items Corona, Nikaris, and Bruenor. In the morning, Klornap lightens load everyone and except for the monks, they climb into the bag of holding. Shang uses a half potion to become a pixie and Ichi climbs on his magical broom. The gnomes turn everyone invisible and Ichi flies through the massive cavern of Deep Earth, avoiding the duergar encampments. The heroes arrive at the Temple of Orcus, but there seems to be quite a lot of commotion, so they wait three hours and return when things are quite.
Ichi first transports Shayana, Zylvanar, and Klornap. After the monk leaves, five shadows show up and attack, but the clerics turn the undead and the dark elf, immune to shadows, destroys them all. Later, Ichi drops off Shang and Nikaris and while the heroes are waiting they see a patrol of duergar climbing the stairs to the Temple. Shayana shoots a silenced, darkness arrow into the dwarves so as to squelch the light and sound of Shang's fireball which slays them. Five more shadows also show up and fair no better than the first five.
With the whole party together, they decide to enter the temple via a side door. The druids stone shape the door's hinges clear and Bruenor quaffs half a potion of fire giant strength to move the iron door out of the way. The heroes find themselves battling a pair of bone golems beyond. The combat is rather protracted and the golems scream, fearing Bruenor and triggering a heart attack in Zyl. Shayana uses a heal scroll to save the drow and the dwarf recovers after the battle thanks to her remove fear.
In the room beyond, the stairs up are trapped, so Ichi uses his broom to ferry people up and over after opening the doors. Beyond is a strange maze of green, misty vapor. Ichi tests the vapor with his naginata and it is disintegrated by the potent acid. The monk then discovers a path through the misty walls of acid. The heroes open a door and beyond is a huge, 20' diameter sleeping turtle monster of some sort. Ichi enters the chamber and the fearsome beast awakens!
