There are niches all around the walls with unlit candles in, and several benches which are covered in candles of all shapes and sizes. A second fiery mephit appears and both breath gouts of flame over the Jazumai, as Auriel stands in the doorway. Next round while Lysander and Auriel tackle the first mephit, Sula grapples the second one, grits her teeth as her flesh burns, and then douses it with her water skin! The stunned and drenched mephit can’t resist as her powerful hands grind out its life, while Lysander and Auriel finish off the remaining mephit as it tries to flee.
Crail joins them inside, and his quick eyes and nimble fingers spot a trap in the far opening which leads further back into the rockface. He disarms it, and they proceed into a smallish hexagonal room, whose walls seem to be made of smooth grey wax. Poking an eyehole through one of the walls shows more small hexagonal wax rooms beyond. Lysander and Auriel carefully cut a hole in one wall and then another, before coming across a similar chamber but with a wax-covered tall humanoid figure standing in the middle of the room. As they enter, the waxen head turns and gazes at them.
The fight is short and brutal – the wax golem is unable to land a solid blow on any of the quick-moving party, and it is soon cut down. As it falls, though, a secret door slides open in the southwestern wall, and beyond another one of these golems a robed figure is chanting ominously...
