The team continued down the hallway past the wooden figures and discovered a long ascending stairway. They climbed to the top and found a locked door. Tulvur hit it with a hammer, which elicited a response from inside demanding who was out there. The team conversed, and eventually an old crone opened the door. Behind her the stars shone overhead, and wind blew through dead corn stalks in a large field. All around lay dead ravens. She warned them, “The cancer grows in the womb of the Crone. To face the Curse of Eons, you must have time on your side.” She also warned them she felt they are too young and should come back later. She gave them a key and shut the door on them.
The group backtracked and explored another side passageway. They came upon a frightening scene where numerous creatures were vivisected and on display in some kind of mad laboratory. A trio of misshapen forlarren with multiple arms prepared poisoned blowgun darts as the team approached. Behind them, the demonic half-satyr they had been seeking rose up on bat-like wings! The forlarren ascended the walls using spider climb and bombarded the team with poisoned darts! The fiend unleashed an unholy blight and later summoned a fiendish boar to harass the party spellcasters. All Might blessed the party and rode into the fracas. Tulvur moved in to put pressure on one side as Greta broke toward the other. Denessia started shooting opportune targets with her pistol as Ten-Penny moved to try setting up flanks.
The team at first struggled, but All Might came charging in on his horse and leapt into the air to impale the fiend with his cold iron lance! The fiend charged down upon him trying to smite but found that tactic ineffective! The fiend activated a fear effect that drove several of the team into retreat! The rest of the team rallied, though and closed in. Denessia unleashed her own smite and shot him between the horns and eyes, dropping him dead. Denessia tried to capitalize and turn on the forlarren, but her pistol exploded in her hands! Deska hit a climbing forlarren with a whip of spiders! The team was able to close up ranks and slay the last of the misshapen beasts.
