The heroes (Idky, Torr, Yavin, Ichi, Arthur, and Athos) continue their search through the labyrinth for the missing mirror shard...
Idky tries a dispel magic on the arch with red birds, and it works, to everyone’s surprise! They hurry through. Coming from both side hallways are 17 fiery birds and attack the party. When they bite, they latch on with their razor sharp teeth, and immolate their opponent. Nasty, vile creatures! When they die, they go up in a puff of smoke, but not even ashes remain. They clear them pretty quickly and move on. The find their cages and put out the jets of flame they find in them with precipitation and cloudburst spells.
They next come up to another arch with yellow carved ki-rin. As Idky tries to pass through, he gets a very sweet, pleasant taste in his mouth. Torr tries to dispel it unsuccessfully, as do Idky and Arthur. They walk through. Torr gets stuck by something in his pouch, which contains his rhion stones, gems, holy symbol, and gold coins. His strongarm potion vials also won’t go through. However, Torr is finally able to get through with his sword’s magic resistance. On the other side, lumbering toward him are three wights. He destroys them immediately, almost absent-mindedly. How the young paladin has grown in his powers!
The rest get through with Torr carrying Athos’ stone objects through and Arthur dimension dooring through with Idky and Yavin. The next arch has carvings of white tigers. This one doesn’t allow metal through. Torr can’t dispel it or get through with his magic resistance. Idky also can’t dispel it. They load Torr with all their metal, he drinks Arthur’s potion of teleport, and appears on the other side. The rest follow and get through. Two ghostly white tigers step through the walls to attack. Yavin and Idky step up to take it on and Torr joins them. They find that metal weapons pass right through them. They quickly finish them off, but Yavin gets knocked out. After healing up, they continue down the passage.
They come to yet a fifth arch, this one with carvings of black tortoises. Torr dispels this one! They all hurry through. The come to a fountain with two water weirds. Torr pops them with his sword. After they pass by, the water weirds reform, but they have passed them.
They finally find the stairs down on the far side of a large room. The room is guarded by 23 creatures (who look like men), 12 made of stone and 11 of steel. They feel like they are being watched. Idky and Torr form the front line to bottle them up in the entrance. Arthur drinks his potion of mass destruction. When he lets loose, it destroys nine steel men and badly damages most of the rest. And Arthur is out for the duration. That’s when all the baddies are suddenly hasted. Yavin joins the melee, but Idky is starting to get badly beaten. Six stirges suddenly appear and swarm the party. The party is now starting to get overrun. Then six giant centipedes appear. Idky goes down under an assault of stone men. Fortunately, most of the centipedes go for Torr, only one goes for Yavin.
Then two troglodytes appear. Yavin jumps back out of the battle. The trogs swarm Torr. Then three giant snakes appear. Yavin removes a stirge that attached itself to Arthur. Torr gets rid of the centipedes. Arthur finally gets up. Athos gets taken out by a stone man and has a stirge sucking his blood. Five giant centipedes appear.
