When the lights go out... in the temple...

Daria tracks the escaped demon to the entrance to the taboo temple. After a quick recoup, Ortho makes the first hop with part of the party and the Hezuru has buddied up with another demon in cavernous opening to the island. The huge worm-like demon at the entrance bellows out blasphemy and wobbles the party. Combat ensues and the Hezrou is the first to fall, and Ortho returns with the rest of the party. The entrance guardian blackens the area and Ortho counters with the light of Pelor. Badly wounded the wastrilith demon teleports away.

The party reorganizes and proceeds into the temple. Daria "finds" the symbol trap and its deadly energy shoots through the party. Daria, Rudolpho, Nesta endure the effect but Vin and Gwendelyn succumb to the power and die. Hjalmgerdr revivifies Vin, and Gwen is bundled up to be returned to town.

The party finishes its exploration of the entrance level, and takes on of the stairways down. Passing a landing the party arrives in a large cave, two feet of water. Large fiendish oysters are apparently cultivated in this room. Rudy manages to pry on open with some help and the oyster shrieks while it yields its prize, a large black pearl.

Large kopru, alerted by the schrieks, emerge into the cavern and assault the party. After they are defeated the party extracts four more pearls from the big oysters.
