I See A Red Moon Rising.

Orgosh gives the party more information after Vanthus' defeat.  The Demogorgon's lover Shami-Amourae was imprisoned in a place called the Wells of Darkness, after she found a way to manipulate him, it was rumored.  Such a drastic action by the Demogorgon, implies that it may be true.  The succubus Red Shroud of Broken Reach is the formost expert on Shami-Amourae.

Since the Wells of Darkness have no connection to the Gaping Maw, the party arrives at Broken Reach in Pazunia.  Pazunia, the Plane of Infinite Portals, is the first layer of the Abyss and home to the Red Shroud, formost authority on the Lady of Delights, Shami-Amourae.

After a bit of shopping, the party makes the necessary bribes to meet with the Red Shroud.  The party pays a steep price for information of the Lady of Delights and the Wells of Darkness.  One of the relics from the Isle of Dread turns out to be a key, the tooth of Ahazu.  Traveling to the Pit of Prisoners the group gains entry to the Wells of Darkness.

The party arrives in the bottom of a well, infested with chasme demons and abyssal ghouls.  The party fights fiercely and maintains its foothold in the Wells of Darkness.
