Facing two iron golems, Torr drinks half of his potion of gaseous form so he can slip past the golem guarding the entrance and rejoin the party in the hallway. The heroes (Idky, Torr, Arthur, and Athos) have no ability to heal up or anything, so they decide to sleep for the night in the big room. Yavin is still frozen in the sepia snake.
After 16 hours rest, the party healed up and buff up Torr. The paladin attacks the golems. Magic missiles from Arthur do absolutely nothing, unfortunately. Torr finishes off the automatons very quickly and the heroes are able to move into the room. Find traps reveals that just about everything is trapped, except the shard, which Idky takes. Athos and Arthur start reading the titles of the huge assortment of books in this massive magical library. Arthur is very interested in what is there. There is also lots of treasure; piles of gold, gems, jewelry, and such.
As he starts searching the lich’s body, Idky feels something tugging on his soul. He backs away and warns the rest of the party. Torr tries to dispel it but to no avail as the paladin senses evil on the lich body. Idky starts searching the body again. He finds:
Solid onyx ring
Packet of dust
Scarab
Scroll (burned up)
Scroll (trapped)
Scroll (trapped))
Gold and pearl ring (smashed)
Gold and ruby ring (smashed)
Gold and platinum ring with lion heads
Scroll (burned up)
Scroll (burned up)
Scroll A
Torr starts to move about the room using his holy sword to dispel any magical traps. As he does, Arthur screams “I wish my body were intact and fully functional again.” The lich body rises and Arthur collapses!
Idky notices that one of the lich’s rings gleamed when that happened. Perhaps his phylactery? Torr, Idky, and Zayüß attack. Athos tries to set up for a backstab. The lich casts power word: blind at Torr, which doesn’t work thanks to Wyrmsbane. The undead wizard is quickly overwhelmed by the combined might of the party (but mostly the paladin) and his corpse again falls to the floor.
Arthur recovers from his ordeal with a hit point and vastly reduces strength. Arthur knows exactly what happened. One of two rings is the phylactery. Torr breaks them both. He no longer senses evil.
Athos finds:
1000 sp
1000 gp
Belt with pouch w/ 100 pp
Pouch w/ 20 gems (100 gp)
Mithril brooch with black pearls
Mithril medallion with black pearls
Ivory case (250 gp)

As he was rummaging through the coins, he uncovers another sepia snake sigil which freezes the hapless thief in time!
Idky finds:

Scroll (burned up)

Torr feels like he’s being watched and dispels it. Suddenly, appearing in a burst of flame, are two creatures: 12’ tall potbellied gargoyle-like beings each with a sickle and jagged blade. Arthur magic missiles one, and Torr rushes it. Zayüß goes for the other one. Arthur attempts more magic missiles and lightning bolts, but they have no effect. One gates in another pit fiend, who also starts attacking. Arthur manages to pierce the magic resistance on the last pit fiend, killing it.
About this time, Yavin thaws and rejoins the party. Arthur tries unsuccessfully to dispel Ichi and Athos. They find out that at least two of the lich’s scrolls are cursed, so they don’t trust any of the scrolls. Some shadows and a wraith show up. Torr destroys them quickly.
