The party retraces its steps, grabbing Sir Bluto along the way. You get to the Hall of Heat, which no longer is making you hot, and to where Einar is waiting with the treasure. Einar sees you, acknowledging you with a wordless nod, and then continues staring down the hall waving you over and holding his finger to his lips.
Down the hall there is a mighty battle between a gynosphynx and you aren't sure what....
The battle is short lived and the ... thing rests. It then turns it's violet eyes to you and beckons you down the hall to it. The open pit, you notice, is no longer open. The thing waits for you, standing over the corpse of the sphynx.
Greetings, warriors of Law. I have arrived from the Rainbow City to meet with you, having discovered that the final Item of Power in Keraptis' possession had been freed. This has had a profound effect on things and we hope the tide in he war with Chaos is turning. Keraptis is on the run and we believe him to have taken shelter in the Tomb of Acererak the Unclean: a Lich of marvelous power.
Ever since The Crystal Cage was shattered, the forces of Law have been on the defensive. We are just now beginning to reclaim lost ground, but, as I say, the tide is turning. Will you be willing to help the forces of Law by striking the mighty blow that will sunder their power and give us the edge? Will you go to the Tomb of Acererak and face that demi-lich and Keraptis himself?Actions?Hit points and marching orderGrimes 34/46
