Nor and his minions search the vescavor lair for the bodies of Kamilo and Arles, but can find no trace of them. They return to the vescavor queen's chamber, only to find it abandoned and completely bare. Fortunately, Xhotl manages to pick up the party's trail, which leads past a large demon-head statue with an ominous sphere in its mouth. Nor decides to leave the head alone, and continues onward. Across a mighty ravine, he discovers Elaryan and Eovan, just waking up. Elaryan claims that more than a day has passed, though for Nor it has been mere minutes. The sorcerer also claims that he and Arthas rescued Arles after being shown the way by a talking goat and battling a "sharknado". Unfortunately, Arthas and Arles are both missing, as are the bodies of Kamilo, Aron and Sosiel. Despite having lost their guide through the Abyss— and despite being told the most implausible story ever concocted— Nor decides they should press on. The party squeezes out of the tunnel's exit, and find themselves in an unfamiliar canyon. After traveling along it for several miles, they spot the ruins of a chapel. Standing in front of the ruins are two huge statues of an elk-headed man, in battered condition. After discussing among themselves, the companions decide that these might depict Erastil, Arthas's deity... though none is quite sure. The party enters the ruins, and are immediately attacked by a couple of gargoyle brutes that fly down from the walls. As the heroes bare dealing with this threat, a pack of ghasts erupts from the chapel's doors, and a frantic melee ensues. The party is successful, but not before Eovan is killed and devoured by the undead minions. The heroes begin to explore the defiled church, room by room. They pass an abandoned sanctuary, a foul kitchen filled with corpses, and finally a ruined bedroom. As they are entering this final room, they are attacked from behind! The newest foe is a half-fiend wielding a combat aspergillum. The aspergillum is filled with waters from the Styx, and its first blow robs Elaryan of his memories and spell-casting ability. Mindlessly, the sorcerer assumes demon form and begins to beat upon the fiend, as Xhotl rushes to his aid. Between them, the ape-demon and the velociraptor manage to wound the fiend, who teleports away. Everyone who played gains 4,000 XP
