They also found a heavily locked room with the word “Lament” written on it in Celestial. Regardless of the many locks, the party had Zathras do his thing and the party soon entered the room. The inside of the room was sheathed in iron. A globe was floating in the center of the room and within it was a fist-sized cube. The cube radiated powerful evil. Vaeth studied the cube and discerned it was a puzzle box that could open portals. Concerned that the box was held in stasis for a reason, the party left it alone and re-sealed the doors.A terrible earthquake struck, shaking the very foundations of the dungeon. The party feared that the giants and their minions may have released Tyrus the dragon. They came upon a room of huge cages with a gargantuan fiendish wyvern roaming free. The wyvern summoned a bone devil to fight the party while it cast spells. The bone devil didn’t prove much of a challenge, but it did buy time for the wyvern to seriously harm the party with a horrid wilting spell. Shaara was killed by the magic. The party was able to close in on the wyvern finally, and destroy it.They found more rooms with fiendish wyverns, including one that was half-asleep, coveting a golden coffer. The party snuck in and stole the coffer. They discerned the coffer was cursed with a deep slumber spell, but Zathras hung on to the item, immune to its effects.Another quake wracked the halls, and the party decided to try to find where the giants were digging without any further delay. After searching some of the likely areas, they found a large room with a tunnel that had been dug through the walls. Three giants were guarding the tunnel, one of them wearing a medallion of Tiamat. The party attacked, and the first two giants fell. The third ran down the tunnel. Zathras pursued but stopped when he saw what was beyond.The tunnel opened into a huge ice cavern. In the center of the cavern was a colossal red dragon, its’ wings spread as if preparing for flight. All around the ice was breaking and falling and melting. Giants and azers were cowering in adulation to the beast, Tyrus. Zathras fled the cavern in heart stopping fear. He ran back through the tunnel and past the party, babbling about the dragon. Mechanus, immune to fear, entered to observe. Tyrus at last spread his wings fully and flew to the top of the cavern, some 700 feet above. He crashed through the ice and rock, causing the rest of the ice to fall, killing the giants and azers within. Mechanus took shelter inside the tunnel. Above, Tyrus left nothing but a huge gaping whole in the ceiling of the cavern.The party entered to search the cavern, discovering Tyrus’ treasure of coins and gems. Vaeth and the resurrected Shaara flew to the top of the cavern to see where Tyrus went, and if perhaps it was a way out of the dungeon. What they saw was mostly beyond their comprehension. Outside the hole was a night sky, but not a night sky. Strands of white appeared and disappeared and huge chunks of rock floated by in the darkness. The slightly uneven surface from the hole stretched off as far as they could see. Vaeth discerned that this was the dungeon floating through the astral plane.The party decided to finally enter the undead region in an attempt to deal with the largest threat of the dungeon, the World Eater. They passed numerous wards and protective measures before encountering numerous rooms filled with undead hordes; skeletons, wraiths, and wights. These undead were not humans, but were some sort of demented humanoid forms, standing nearly eight feet tall. This was the oldest section of the dungeon and its inhabitants may have been interred here ages before the birth of humans.End of session 19.The pictures: 1) The gang (clockwise from front - Shaara, Mechanus, Zathras, DM, Vaeth, Solara, missing - Glanrak), 2) Fighting the wyvern (the gargantuan black dragon mini standing in for the wyvern) - with a dead Shaara, 3) Zathras chasing the fire giant and meeting Tyrus  <a href="http://img291.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=016211312_group_122_111lo.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="http://img291.imagevenue.com/loc111/th_016211312_group_122_111lo.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a> <a href="http://img277.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=016214189_wyvern_122_202lo.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="http://img277.imagevenue.com/loc202/th_016214189_wyvern_122_202lo.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a><a href="http://img284.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=016212673_tyrus_122_251lo.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="http://img284.imagevenue.com/loc251/th_016212673_tyrus_122_251lo.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></blockquote>
