While Khalia, Taviss and Skarghash keep a vigil in the northern chamber over the glowing runes, Ari and Jango make their way around the tunnels to the southern room. As before, Ari steps in and puts his back to the far wall so he can see Jango through the small opening into the hallway. He then grips his sword, takes a deep breath, and pronounces the word "Kaethatyrric".
Another low-pitched hum is immediately heard, and both Ari and Jango recognize the familiar sound and their eyes go to the runes. Sure enough, the runes painted on the floor begin to glow green here too. After about 10 seconds the glow grows to it's maximum intensity, and the low-pitched hum in both chambers begins growing as well.
Ten seconds of the hum growing increasing louder almost begins becoming annoying, when suddenly the hum is overpowered by the very loud sound of stone scraping against stone. This sound for both groups comes from down the tunnel hallways somewhere and the reverberation tells you that the stone must have been quite large to create this volume of noise. Suddenly, the low hum and the sound of stone crossing stone both stop... and all is quiet in the tunnels once again.

As the hum rises in pitch, Ari grips his sword tighter and clenches his jaw, ready for the inevitable. When the grinding noise begins, his adrenaline starts pumping, preparing for a fight. He is in the zone. He is ready. He will kill.
And then nothing happens.
Irritated, and still a bit shaky from the pent up aggression, Ari gives a curt nod to Jango's suggestion and prepares to follow.

Wiping a bit of sweat from his brow, Skarg says Well then. I guess that worked. It appears Ari doesn't get to meet a monster this time, though. Hope he's not too dissappointed.
With a grin, Skarg moves to figure out where the scraping sound came from... and hopefully the exit they've been looking for.

Both groups leave their respective chambers and begins working their way through the tunnels. After about thirty seconds each, they hear and meet up with each other... and several seconds after that as they continue, the group comes upon an opening in one of the walls of the tunnel that had not been there before. Beyond this point the tunnel grows back in height to a manageable 10 feet, and it becomes obvious that the walls, floor and ceiling are now worked stone. Eight feet in, the corridor widens again into a small chamber and on the far side you see a large, stout wooden door bound in iron. Lit sconces on both sides of the small chamber light up the room.
Realizing that strong progress has been made, Taviss says that he's going to go back up top to let the Watchmen know that the group has found their way through the maze. He nods silently in good luck and goes back through the tunnels to find his way back to the surface. The rest of you stand at the beginning of the small corridor with the closed iron-bound door fifteen feet in front of you.

"She is now alone, so I think when the four of us will find her, we will be enough to handle her. See you later." tells Jango, as Taviss leaves the group. "Skrag, Ari. Who want to go first? I'll close the way, if something happen in front of us, I can use the wand to hit without problem of having al of you in my way, and we have secured our back."

Ari clasps Taviss' hand, and a wordless gaze passes between them. The men shared a bond, and they would meet again after this mess was dealt with.
Putting his mind back on the task at hand, the monster hunter looks at the half-orc and the elf. "No reason to change things now---Skarg scouts ahead with his sharp eyes and ears, and we follow. But do not get to confident, Jango. This woman is mad, and mad ones are the most dangerous. No telling what fiendish friends she aims to free up ahead."
