It wasn't enough to revive the ranger. So Arendel set about healing him. Of course, the look on Calrom's face when he awoke to find an elf healing him was priceless. Alya didn't let the moment go unannounced. A brief thank you and a few more jabs were added. Calrom downed a potion of his own. He still needed some healing but his wounded ego wouldn't let him admit it to the elves. Darian, Sully, and Fiddle scavenged the remains of the Ogre Mage and Hieracosphinx. A magical sword and shield. But both were too large for anyone to even carry. A key was found on the sphinx. Calrom pocketed it.The party set off after the Mind Flayer. A blood trail led to a far door across a circular room. This in turn led to a short corridor. The stench from which made the party almost retch. The corridor opened into a strange shaped room. Inside a pile of animal flesh and bones lay. The stench came from the pile. Odd bits of fur and claws hung  from the thing. A ruined golem of some kind. The party followed the blood trail into another corridor before it finally dried up. Some scorch marks in front of a door on the far wall and floor showed signs of a discharged trap. The door was slightly ajar. The party entered. It led to a room with a large column and ball atop. The one Sully and Fiddle had seen before with the dancing lights.They quickly scanned the room. The Mind Flayer had gotten away. Fiddle played around with the column some. It was too complex.The party backtracked to the circular room. Here they found a stairway up. The room was quartered. Calrom and Fiddle investigated the stairs. A lever stood out.“Everyone stand clear,” Fiddle yelled down to the others. “Marmaduke, Come.”Calrom pulled the lever. About halfway....RRRRrrreerrrrrr A loud sonic blast struck the tiny control area.Alya and Darian saw to the wounded.“We’re not trying that again,” Fiddle said shaking his head.Alya played around with the support column in the middle of the room. The party knew the lever did something. And Sully flew up to encounter a force field on the ceiling. So they suspected the room rotated. The bard was lucky. She found 4 number switches. She flicked one. The room rotated. “Someone flick another one while I’m up there,” Alya commanded.  She then went up the stairs. Calrom obliged. The room rotated. Everyone could still see Alya, but the stairs were not available for her to come down. She grabbed the lever. No one below heard anything. However, the look and reaction from the bard told the story. Calrom moved the stairs back for her to come down.“Nope,” Alya swore. “Lets try something else.”</blockquote>
