The the heroes (Idky, Yavin, Arthur, Athos, Artec, Katya, and Hamish) rest the night and then continue their hike through the jungles of Torsh, seeking a portal to another world. The amulet around Idky's next now holds four bloodstones -- vampires of Charn, lava dragon of Etheria, celestial dragon of Terrax, and Tyrannosaurus Rex of Torsh. The group travels slowly, using both of Idky's commune with nature spells each day to search out dimensional ruptures. Failing that, the cleric of Fharlanghn then determines any supernatural or powerful monsters in the general area. For most of the day, Arthur uses fly spells to remain airborn and scout the terrain ahead of the group, avoiding many unneeded encounters. In the evenings, the party camps in Katya's magical shelter, safe from the threats of the jungle.
On the 13th day of travel, the heroes battle a gorgosaurus (little T-Rex type) and the a pair of huge (50' long) boa constrictors. On the 15th day of travel, ten giant (30' long) crocodiles ambush the heroes, but are no match for Arthur's lightning bolt, Artec's arrows, and Hamish's sword. The 19th day yields another ambush by five giant crocodiles, but the party handles them easily. Hamish now bears a huge necklace fully of pointy reptile teeth...
That evening, Idky learns that there are powerful supernatural creatures in a mountain ahead, but Arthur, a trained archeologist, points out that the peaks are actually a pair of jungle-covered pyramids. Hamish starts arguing about the construction and Yavin decides it would be easier to simply mentally link the two men's minds telepathically. During that conversation, a voice calls out to the party and asks them to help it. The group agrees and explores the top of they pyramids, finding them both COMPLETELY covered in growth, with the structure bearing the supernatural entities partially collapsed from above. Idky casts find the path and the group locates an entrance.
Inside, the heroes come up sets of alcoves. They are magically trapped. As the heroes get near them, the scenes they depict come alive and attack! The heroes battle many different lizard men-like creatures, including multiple shaman. Still, however, they have not reached the door at the end of the hallway...
