She is thankful, but skeptical of anyone who would subject themselves to all this. “This is all part of some great trap, to use greed and lure adventurers into their death, over and over again” (or at least that is what she meant to say). She then steps into the Aether, returning to her fey enclave.  The sundial is inspected. The dial is even stopped! At 2 pm. But then let go again. A room of many tapestries is entered. One shows a key, a locked door, and a shocked tiefling rogue. Perhaps unable to resist the likeness, Lucian touches the key to the tapestry, first the cloth key, then the cloth lock. A great “click” sound is heard in the distance.<img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/downloads/galleries/Tomb_art/img/18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Behind another tapestry is a torch in the center of the room, and numbers, 1-12, on a curved wall. First in bronze, then in dark iron.  Like possible a sundial…at least when Forge stands in between the wall and torch. The shadow is dark and clear. And fortunately, the elf calculates the correct time. This opened door happens to be nearer the party, and they proceed through it. Just before they leave, Forge takes a tapestry, and stuffs into the bag of holding. Murmuring voices draw the party to a richly appointed room, with no speakers. Instead there are game tables, and everyone but Lucian is sucked into games with unseen opponents. A coin to a few heads and some luck and skill bring them out. But not after paying for the play with psychic damage. They finally rest in the tapestry room (after what may be record number of encounters). In the night, a banshee looking to share her pain appears. But the wizards barrier against fey keeps it at bay. They enter a dimly lit and oddly shaped room. Then, after sudden darkness, deadly duplicates attack! One for each party member! Ally hits ally (well, at least a few times) and Ghen is worried about healing an enemy. Then all seems won with a simple dispel, and Buckthorn riddles the quickling that appeared as him with arrows even as Forge locks his giant-souled double into a futile slugfest. But the sprigan arcanists that appeared as Nar-Heru and Ghen strike back, joined by the other Lucian looking quickling. Even when killed, like the dryads and harpy’s before them, the fey leap back up, now undead, and continue the mayhem. Nar-Heru comes seconds within death. Eventually, the tied does turn, as two of the fey flee and the rest die at last. <img src="http://www.canonfire.com/wiki/images/2/25/Quickling.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />A quicklingThe room is searched and Forge then pulls a lever. With unknown results. They continue.An underground network is found. It leads back to the opening (by the cave with the three statues), the game room, and a strange cluster of rooms. Here, they seem to leave the fey Aether and enter an old and abandoned part of dungeon.FirstThenThenThey come to exits that lead back to the Fey domain. The one they take returns them to the opening by the river with two dark obelisks. (See map, you are standing outside what looks like a large building, indicated by “wall” on the map).Nar-Heru also has visions, as Ghen did before.</blockquote>
