The heroes (Idky, Torr, Yavin, and Arthur) spend the night in the lich’s lair. While the party sleeps, Yavin uses his precognition ability on some of the magic items and books, mostly discovering the lich's collection of exotic cook books.
The next morning, Arthur uses his newly-acquired spell, minor globe of invulnerability, to free Athos from the sepia snake while Idky casts two passwalls at the ceiling so they can bypass the gates. As Idky airwalks up into the room above, he finds it is apparently empty with three doors. Thanks to a find traps, he sees that two are trapped, one mechanically, and one magically trapped. They go through the one that isn’t locked, and it leads them back to the same room.
Athos sets off the deadfall trap on the mechanically trapped door and nearly gets crushed. The stone blocks the door. They go to the magical door. Thanks to the minor globe, the explosive runes don’t go off. There are eleven juju zombies, but Torr turns them. They’re stuck in the little hallway, blocking the way. Torr fights them in the doorway, killing them pretty quickly. Athos smudges the runes and then finds a secret door at the end of the passage. He opens the door, and there are four specters waiting. He turns two of them, and he has to start fighting two. He and Yavin each lose two levels. They kill the two specters, and Yavin casts lesser restoration on them to restore a level each. They continue on the remaining two and kill them quickly.
Athos reveals a symbol of insanity and six wraiths behind a locked door. Athos collapses from a heart attack. Torr evades the symbol and turns the wraiths. He then tries to dispel the symbol, but fails. Arthur also succumbs to the symbol and faints. They don’t know if the symbol was dispelled, though, so Torr rips the door off its hinges and props it in front of the symbol, but the hallway leads back to the room.
Arthur is unconscious, and Yavin revives him telepathically. Arthur lightning bolts the wraiths, and Torr with support from Yavin and Idky destroy the remaining undead quickly.
Yavin tries to revive the thief. He gets in, but he finds Athos' mind is catatonic. The cleric of Celestian manages to revive the thief using a combination of psionic telepathy and magical mind reading. Athos disarms the trap and unlocks the door, revealing four specters. Torr is unable to turn them, so they must fight. Idky ends up losing two levels, one of which Yavin restores.
In a hallway, they encounter 12 stone statues and 12 skeletons. Torr dusts the skeletons. Arthur lightning bolts the statues, destroying all but five, who are badly damaged. Torr and Idky finishes them off.
They encounter more sepia snake sigils and explosive runes. Torr’s magic resistance prevents the runes and one sigil. Idky gets caught by the sigil. Leaving him, the heroes continue on to try to find Ichi and encounter three specters. Arthur lightning bolts them, killing two. Yavin rushes to kill the last one.
They finally make it to Ichi! Arthur frees him by casting another minor globe to disrupt the dweomer and then Torr rushes the mage back to free Idky.
They heal up and nap. And then they step out of the labyrinth . . . into an ambush.
