The party (Aeronne, Harbinder, Aris, Adama, Ichi, and P'Tal) continues their assault on the thieves' guild of Rel Astra. The heroes barge into the inner sanctum of the guild master, sounding the alarm and attracting nearly every remaining guardian left in the guildhall. The heroes are grossly outnumbered and under-powered for the ten guards, the massive hell hound, and Radatha himself. So, Ichi, naturally saves the day.
First, Ichi takes out the hell hound with a single hit. Then he engages the guild master while the rest of the party is overwhelmed. Soon, more than a dozen additional minions swarm the area, so the monk quaffs his potion of speed and initiates a FLURRY of blows. Meanwhile, Aeronne is barely holding his own against nearly a half dozen foes and slowly leaking blood. Harbinder is doing better, but pinned into a corner of the melee and only engaging a single thief. Adama tries to help her, but proves to be ineffective in combat. P'Tol faces three thieves for most of the melee, but fares no better than the others. For his part, Aris has rendered himself improved invisible and casts a detect magic allowing him to easily avoid the fight while tracking the now-gaseous guild master.
The heroes, mired in a prolonged battle, can't follow Aris who ultimately loses the guild master of the thieves when he slips through the cracks of a secret door. Many minutes later, the heroes (mostly Ichi) finishes off the last of their foes and hear melee elsewhere. Ichi and P'Tol investigate, locating a slim, beautiful, green-haired woman who conjures a wall of fire between herself and four hill giants. Ichi, however, slaughters the jotuns quite quickly once Gloriana drops her fiery wall. Aris catches up with the rest of the party and explains the situation. The group sets about (finally) searching for Aeronne's warhorse.
The heroes go through a series of rooms which are mage-focused before finally finding an alchemical lab. Aris makes off a horde of magical research tomes in the meanwhile, thanks to Gloriana's bag of holding. Harbinder creates a wormhole and the party escapes Rel Astra...
