Journal:
----------
After recovering from our rest in the Night Hags chamber, we were told by Nildus Thilano that another priest – Gein Kafig – may still be alive. Continuing to explore the current floor we discovered an apparently unstable portal we decided that it was too unstable to risk traversing, so we moved on. As we continued search the floor we found a library occupied by Rick Peakes, an unusual creature that had no mouth and appeared to speak using telepathy. Merely looking at the creature caused a wave of fear to wash over the party, Claw found himself unable to enter the room (which he blamed on his fear of books).
When Quillax asked Rick if she could read the books he told her that he was ordered by his master to guard them from anyone other than him. Searching the room Quillax found a hidden door, inside of which were a small stack of hidden scrolls.
Continuing onwards we were attacked by 6 Sin Spawn, during the attack Zolerim – The traitorous priest that sided with the Medusa we had defeated previously – Launched a fireball into the fray hitting both our group and the Sin Spawn – before retreating into a nearby room. After finishing the Sin Spawn were defeated we rushing into the room to find Zolerim standing next to a table with two Chain devils standing over the sleeping form of Gein. Using mental chains that appeared to sprout from Gien's head the Chain Devil stuck at Claw, as the fight the went on Zolerim unfortunately escaped the chamber.
Quillax restored Gein to consciousness and we pulled back to Magmannar (via a toilet shaft to the amusement of all involved) to recover our resources and drop off the two preists. While we rested Shiela translated the documents from the hidden stash which revealed the location of a special Cold Forge that could be used to rejoin the shard of sin.
We returned to the abbey through the toilet route again, and continued down further. As we continued down the stairs a small devil appeared claiming to be sent by the Efreet that Quillax had planar shifted earlier in the dungeon and offered her a luck blade as a reward. We ended a room with a wall that Quillax recognised as being made from a wall of stone spell. Creating an opening she uncovered a path that lead a cave that opened into the sea, judging from the tide (which was out at the time) at high tide the current room might experience flooding.
Stepping into the next room we heard Zolerim call out for Rick. Quillax disguised herself as Rick and claimed that she had brought the rest of the party as a sacrifice. With this Zolerim summoned four wraiths from the surrounding coffins to attack us. A well timed Turn undead spell from Yukiko sent the wraiths fleeing, we cut down two of them before bringing down Zolerim before the remaining wraiths returned.
After searching Zolerim's room off to the side we press forward into a room covered in tapestries with a collapsed path to one side with a small opening and a Doomsday locked door ahead. Attempting to unlock the door triggered a spike trap, deciding that we might be able to bypass the trap if we used the small opening in the collapsed hall we found it to be extremely difficult if not outright impossible for Yukiko and Claw to traverse.
