Like a rock...

The party recovers from the battle with the Lord of the Abyss' champion Death Knight.  Ortho, Ghaele are brought back into action.  Daria checks out the next door and triggers a true ressurection for an ancient fiendish mottled worm.  Daria is instantly inside the creature's stomach, and the battle with the worm begins.  Not a being of strategy or finesse, it is a knock-down-drag-out with Nesta dealing the death-blow.

Moving on the the door, Rudy breaks it down into a room of thick sulfurous steam.  A fragile bridge spans the room to a heavy, metal, locked door.  Daria and Nesta take the flying carpet across the room and try to disable the lock.  The complexity of the lock takes Daria a full ten minutes, which another wave of Savage Tide energy passes and transforms Gwendelyn and Daria into savage creatures.  Rudy grapples Gwendelyn so Hjalmgerder could restore her.  Unfortunately, Daria gets the drop on Netsa and inflicts a bit of nasty knife work.  Netsa bull rushes Daria into the water, Daria sinks and Rudy goes into the water to repeat the drill.

Ghaele explores a tower and gets views into both the Gaping Maw and the depths of the Sunless Sea where Dagon dwells.  But he didn't see any key-wielding demons, he moves on to the next door to keep exploring.  Inside he finds a room, broken and part sliding into the sea.  A quick look, he spies another door.  Other party members follow to find Ghaele, and catch up with him as he gets zapped by a hidden foe.  Closing in the party finds the opponent to be an old Olamn witchdoctor.

And the battle continues...
