After looting the tar pit room, the party followed Daria into a room filled with the skulls of people who were apparently decapitated. Searching reveals no other notables in the room. Daria peeks through the next passageway, and spies a very large room with a statue. This draws Rudy out and, eventually, the denizens of the room as well.
Six large demonic lizards crawl out of the pool of icky water, and some creature vaguely resembling the Demogorgon. The party gains an early advantage, but then seems to struggle through the stretch. Khala, mighty aspect of the Demogorgon, is resistant to most spells and damage. Finally closing with the party, Khala wears down the party even as his pet lizards fall.
Moving about, Khala strikes at the party as the party charges close to the demonic beast. Finally, after being greatly wounded, Khala changes places with one of his servants via teleport. The servant demon battles the party to his last breath.
With a brief reprieve, the party explores the surrounding rooms to the ceremonial chamber, while they recover their wounds. Most of the surrounding rooms were storage rooms for ceremonial offerings. Now they only contain dust and broken pottery. The corner room contains a nice bed and a writing desk, although the moisture in the air and the stink in the stone have left there mark. In the room, the personal effects of Noltus Innersol are stored in a trunk. It appears that a demonic beast, Onalati, took Noltus' persona to decieve the villagers to be sacrifices for Khala's creations: Shadow Pearls. The possesions of Nualla and her two companions are also here.
