The troglodytes hold a great victory feast of dead bullywugs through the night, and Uggilo preaches to his flock of how Zevgizab has smote down their enemies with furious vengeance.
After resting the group check out the Lady's Light above ground; they find no entrances but Quillax senses the sinister presence of a Will-o-Wisp.
Anastasia's alligator is too large to pass through the tunnel beyond the Bullywug caves, and has to be left behind.
In the caverns beyond, the group dispatch three giant solifiguds and reach a chamber guarded by pillars - caryatid golems! Too powerful to defeat in melee, Gedout & Keelan barely survive; Neril places the Lust Run on his chest - the caryatids allow him through. The Runed-up party descend a black feather fall shaft into a shining hall. There they see a sarcophagus painted to show Sorshen.
Bullywugs follow from behind - Mama Beballa and her survivors. They are swiftly defeated, Gedout taking Beballa's enchanted longbow.
The group open the sarcophagus, revealing a stasised Sorshen, apparently a Clone. Keelan tries to steal her jewelry... And is struck dead by a Phantasmal Killer spell. Runelord Sorshen awakes... Only Keelan's mind is within this new body!
Leaving the dead Keelan in the sarcophagus, the group press on, finding boats by an underground river they head upstream. Quillax-shark finds an underwater side tunnel before a waterfall/portal and investigates it in otter form; this is dispelled but luckily human-Quillax pushes open a brass grate and emerges into a small chamber. The others follow; except Clank the mechanical man who gets stuck in the tunnel and has to be pulled out. Eventually the group regather in the grate-room, Neril listens at the doors...
Time ca 3.30pm.
