We finished off the Chhrrxxxharxxhs and after some discussion, decided to go straight for the large doors. We saw that they were guarded by an armored giant and two fiery dragons. Preparing for a fight when an invisible Velios is spotted by one of the dragons, Tari persuades the giant to call off the dragons and let us pass. Similarly, in the next room, we encounter a Fiery demon and two constructs. Again, Tari persuades the demon to let us pass. In the final room we see our lich friend Lady Illmorrow arguing with a fiery being. Apparently the spell she was trying came out at double the strength due to the presence of two powerful shards. It appears that we may be at fault for the Mourning if Gnippity's presence brought the second shard from the future. That would explain a lot about these Rakshasa attacks and about time travel. We are now facing a battle with Illmorrow as well as the Balor, some of these dust ghouls and maybe the fiery being (dragon?) Yay us.
