The heroes (Idky, Torr, Yavin, Ichi, Arthur, and Athos) continue searching through the maze beyond the gate...
Torr airwalks with Athos to one of the locked doors to unlock it. It opens up to a hallway. They are just now realizing that their ability to judge distance and size has been impaired. Idky determines that the door at the end of the hallway is mechanically trapped. Athos disarms it. It opens to a huge room full of suits of armor with weapons along all the walls.
Torr attempts to turn them, in case they are undead. Nothing happens. They decide to go back to open the other locked door in the other room. Eleven shadows and three spectres pour into the room. Torr destroys eight shadows. Arthur magic missiles a spectre. A spectre drains Torr of two levels. A sepia snake sigil goes off at Idky, but it misses. Athos climbs onto the door to free up Torr, who was holding him. Arthur gets critically hit in his left arm by a shadow. It’s not working very well. A spectre drains him of two levels. He makes his way over toward Ichi. Idky helps Arthur kill off his specter.
Ichi, in a desperate effort to get a spectre’s attention off Torr, throws his magical nunchaku at one but misses. Torr manages to kill the specter that drained his level. The heroes manage to kill all the undead, but they’ve gotten badly beaten.
Athos tries to disarm the magical trap on one of the other doors, but sets it off. He gets acid dumped on him, and 16 shadows and five spectres pour out of the alcove behind the door and attack the party. Torr turns nine shadows at first while Ichi and Idky try to keep specters off of him.
Yavin jumps in on a spectre and while it touches him, the cleric's ioun stone protects him from having his life energy drained. Torr destroys the rest of the shadows, leaving the five spectres. Athos is nearly dead, so Ichi rushes over to provide relief against the specters that have nearly drained him to nothing. Ichi gets double stunned by a spectre and also drained of two levels. Torr runs to help out the monk against his spectres. Arthur has been throwing holy water at the specters but missing. Athos gets disengage by Torr and starts helping with holy water bombs too. They finally finish them off, but this time everyone but Yavin has lost at least two levels (and Athos has lost six!!).
After some healing, Idky naps everyone but Torr, who encounters a dozen shadows. He finishes them off quickly with a turn and a sword thrust. Using minor restoration spells, Yavin is also able to give everyone back their lost levels since no one was hit twice and all the undead were slain.
Arthur plays with the shards, putting them together. They fuse together at their edges, and it is plainly evident the size and shape of the missing fourth piece. It looks like it would form a small rectangular mirror.
Idky casts locate object to try to find the shard. They find out it is a level down and through a trapped door. Athos removes the trap and the door opens up to a huge room with three doors. All but one are trapped. There are also seven wraiths in the room. Torr turns them into a corner and they start attacking. They finish them off without them landing a single hit.
As Athos attempts to disarm the trapped door, he sets off the trap—a pit opens beneath him, plunging him into water by way of blades. Shadows attack him and bring him unconscious and drowning. Torr destroys three of them. The rest rush out to attack the party. Torr destroys six more. Idky airwalks down to try to get Athos. He has been horribly disfigured from his experiences.
Unfortunately, Athos is unable to unlock the door, so Arthur uses a cantrip. There is a hallway full of skeletons. Torr dusts them. Idky finds a mechanical trap on the door. Arthur uses his cantrip to open the door. The gigantic room has ten armored jujus in it...
