After having defeated the drow guardians, the heroes (Tiana, Ichi, Brünor, Malachite, Tolus, and Aris) entered the massive black obelisk of chaos. Inside was a single hallway with iris-valve doors with a strange design etched into the face. Working together, Ichi and Tolus force the first door open, revealing an empty room with strange chalk writing on the back wall. Ichi, Aris, and Tiana enter, only for the door to spiral closed behind them and the walls to start to move in to crush them! Outside, Tolus and Brünor try to get the door back open while Aris uses a knock spell from a scroll. From the outside, the doors final spiral out, revealing an empty room beyond. Inside, the party sees the doors remain closed as the illusionary walls keep closing in. Ichi finally figures the trap out and rescues the party.
The heroes continue on to a room full of soldier...juju zombie soldiers who attack. The undead resist many of the mages' spells and were it not for Ichi's amazing fighting skills, several party members might have died. Later, the heroes meet a pair of gray oozes in another room and later battle a pair of creatures composed of living coral. These two beings began animating all the coral chunks in the room around them after psionically taking out Ichi and Tiana. After the heroes vanquish the coral monsters, Tiana experiments with a gateway to the bottom of the ocean. The cleric of water narrowly avoids drowning and CRUSHING herself when she tries the portal and manages to return just before the gate finally fails.
The party then begins to explore the far side of the obelisk complex where they battle of room full of shadows, ghouls, and ghasts. The undead are not difficult to defeat, but they further drain the party's resources, particularly their spells and healing.
