A wild melee follows, with the group attacking and being counterattacked across courtyards and chambers. They face orcs, an ettin, numerous undead, and the E.P. himself. The group, armed with many vials of holy water, plunges further into the Keep when the E.P. retreats. They hack (and splash) through his inner defense of trolls, gargoyles, wights, and wraiths, and finally confront the lich. Morgan aids the group in the confrontation, and the Eyeless Priest is destroyed. Erik, Dardania, and Beldraggin each lose a level to undead during the battle. The group explores the keep, and gives the berserkers part of the treasure they find as a reward.
1/19/3132: The group finishes checking out the secrets of the Keep. Mentiri finds the "Illunicon", a legendary book of illusionist spells. Though not obvious at the time, a curse on the book drives her mad.
1/21/3132: The group, traveling north, reaches the Coast Road. They split up; Mentiri, Dardania, Erik, Deveral, Beldraggin, and Rathbone go west, while the rest of the group heads east, back to Ossana.

2/24/3132: Mentiri's madness swells, and she plots to do away with the other mages in the group. She murders Alyrya, and keeps the rest of the group in Balimar under the pretext of waiting for some jewelry to be finished. The group finds Alyrya's body. She is raised, but can tell them nothing of how she died.
2/25/3132: Stunned by the savagery of Alyrya's murder, the group tests one another for lycanthropy. When this turns out negative they seek other clues. Mentiri tricks the Temple of the Rat into trying to kill Erik. He escapes, and the group is able to set up a meeting with the rat-worshippers. The ratties learn they have been tricked, and begin their own search for the culprit. The group keeps a wary eye on one another. A desperate Mentiri, realizing that she is close to being discovered, murders Norill, but is discovered in the act and captured.

3/19/3132: The group enters the dungeon and routs a band of bugbears.
3/20/3132: They descend to the second level. There they find Junia. Junia once swore an oath that she didn't need anybody, and since that day has been unable to touch or be touched by another living thing. In desperation she petitioned Beniceem a few days before to lift the curse, and was teleported here, where she has wandered, pounced on repeatedly by monsters that couldn't hurt her. The group takes her with them.
3/21/3132: The group goes down to third level. There Mohenjo-dharo is possessed by the spirit of the evil Malfeasor Malveoli. The group manages to trick him and exorcise him from Mojo. He then, in desperation, possesses Vance the three-legged rat. He is again exorcised, this time for good.

3/27/3132: The group finds the tomb of Beldraggin, with his likeness carved on it. It seems to be thousands of years old. Beldraggin is reluctant to let the tomb be opened.

3/28/3132: The group uses the Amulet of Summoning to get Janee and Norill to Copperhame, where they are restored by stone to flesh spells.
4/3/3132: The group resumes exploring the dungeon. They battle a group of devils, led by a pit fiend, and are victorious.
4/4/3132: A weird black-and-white "time tunnel" appears. Beldraggin ventures in and goes 15,000 years back into the past. There he is cloned, and his clone founds the Tilgarn clan. Beldraggin thus becomes his own ancestor. He spends a week in the past, though to his fellows it seems he is gone only minutes. The group later fulfills the conditions to allow them to cross the Crystal Bridge, and all do so save Raang and Jedinna, who believe their own gods won't approve. To their awe and wonder they are transported to the Twin Paradises, where they meet Beniceem. Each is given a gift, Dingo and Fuzzy are restored to life, and the entire group is transported to Ossana. When they have all caught their breath Samrith and Stargoth announce their engagement, and a party is held most of the night at Trooney's Spear.
4/7/3132: Junia finds, to her surprise, that she is able to touch Rathbone. Rathbone decides to sit out the next adventure.

4/28/3132: The group explores the second and third levels, fighting various vermin.
4/29/3132: The group encounters a shrieker, who manages to communicate to the group that he is really a stone giant named Rocko. They transform him to his true shape, and he rewards them before departing. The group later defeats a mixed group of ghouls and ghasts. Among their treasure is a cursed scroll. Dardania reads it and is turned into a tuna. The system shock kills her. Alyrya discovers that Bodo has palmed a magical medallion, and the group has to talk Beldraggin out of removing one of his hands as punishment.
4/30/3132: Dardania is taken to Ossana via the amulet of summoning, and a clone spell is begun on her. The spell will take five months.
5/3/3132: The group resumes exploring. They encounter a haunt, and at first flee from it. They are beset by a pair of angry black dragons and some carrion crawlers, and manage to fend them off while Soujrnee allows himself to be possessed by the haunt, whose name is Tlad. Tlad leads the group to a secret compartment in another chamber, which contains a scroll desperately needed by the Temple of Eru. Tlad had been sent to retrieve it, but had perished before he could get to it.
5/4/3132: The group evades the black dragons, who are still after them. That night Mohenjo-dharo has a disturbing dream about trouble brewing in Ancient Tarranosh.
5/5/3132: The group finds and travels along the long tunnel connecting the Entry and Main dungeons.
5/6/3132: The group enters the main dungeon of Ebar Krowden. They fight giant lizards, and a sinister plant poisons Jedinna - she is saved by Soujrnee - and turns Alicante blue.

Mohenjo-dharo does the forest scene and beats a wyvern, Postumus and Mentiri defeat an evil fighter in a torture chamber, Janee and Jedinna battle giant crabs in a beach scene, and Beldraggin and Soujrnee win out over Yetis in the glacier scene. From all of this they win the Beliant stone, which can produce an instant fortress, though the first test of it in a confined area injures most of the party.
5/15/3132: The group enters third level of the main dungeon. The group defeats a roper, who pretends to convert to the worship of Eru to save its life. The roper points the group towards a wish pool, and everybody makes a wish. All of them are granted, but the trick is then revealed; the wishes last only 24 hours, and each wish causes the wisher to acquire a random nemesis creature, a foe who can kill the wisher with a single point of damage. Alyrya's wish takes the group to a magical pool on the ninth level, which will enchant - or destroy - anything immersed in it. Volant and Mohenjo-dharo both risk their hands, and win. The group uses the amulet of summoning to return to the first level of the main dungeon.
5/16/3132: Fend the henchman is killed by a cold-beam trap, but the group raises him.
5/17/3132: The group hikes out of the dungeon, intending to head back to Ossana.

6/5/3132: Rathbone returns to the group, and Soujrnee departs for awhile. The group hires Chaunce as his replacement.

6/13/3132: The group reaches the site of the Tower and begin to wait for it to appear.
6/27/3132: The tower appears, but it vanishes again before the whole group can get inside. Those in the tower (Rathbone, Erik, Bodo, Norill, Alicante, Janee, Jedinna, and Beldraggin) find the evil magic-user Mulpha Ka'raana there, and they battle and defeat he and his evil creatures. They exit into Haggoth when the tower arrives there, taking Mulpha with them as a prisoner. They wait by the tower for the others to join them. In Elcea, the rest of the group once again waits for the Tower.
7/13/3132: The tower reappears in Elcea, and soon the entire group is reunited in Haggoth. They travel to the gnomish village in the Plains of Ulmo that they visited on their first visit via the amulet of summoning.

They visit the Major Codex and question it extensively. They find the deck of many things again, and Postumus, Chaunce, and Norill draw. Postumus and Norill each win the services of a 4th-level henchman, but Chaunce is permanently slain by Death.
8/13/3132: The group is transported to Ancient Tarranosh. There they learn that the evil being Shaala is besieging the place, hoping to control that nexus of worlds for his own nefarious purposes. Esmilia has been captured, and is either dead or a prisoner. The group makes swift preparations, and marches out after him. In one of the largest battles in the campaign's history, they defeat a huge army of 150 dwaluks, 30 wolves, and 15 flying things. The group advances onward, and defeats Shaala and his bodyguards after a desperate fight. Esmilia is freed.
8/20/3132: Several days of celebration are capped by the marriage of Mohenjo-dharo and Esmilia.

10/25/3132: The group waits in Ossana for Volant and Alicante to return from Haggoth. Bodo and Mentiri play a trick on Postumus, convincing him he has just eaten a rat. A shaken Postumus flees to the temple of Eru, but is persuaded to return to the group.
11/16/3132: The Vanishing Tower reappears in Haggoth, and the last exiles use it to return to Elcea.
11/24/3132: The group departs Ossana, heading once again for Ebar Krowden.
12/7/3132: The group reaches the dungeons, and travels towards the main dungeon.
12/8/3132: They fight a group of giant spiders, and though five of them are poisoned, all are saved. They continue on, and Mohenjo-dharo, Alicante, and Dardania are all killed. They are raised, and the group continues on to find and rescue Megas Distar, who joins the adventurers.
12/9/3132: The group fights a swarm of gargoyles and a vargouille. Bodo, Raang, Dardania, and Postumus begin to realize that some enchanted wine cups they found the day before are addictive.

12/11/3132: They continue their exploration of second level. They encounter the "singing skull", which bellows tunes at them. Their attempts to neutralize it fail, and it gets away. Postumus collapses after steadfastly refusing to drink more of the wine.
12/13/3132: The group finally force some of the enchanted wine into Postumus, and he revives. The singing skull reappears, and the group finally gives in and returns its treasure so it will leave them alone.
12/14/3132: More of second level is explored. They fight wraiths, a nightmare, and a hezrou demon. Janee is hit by a wraith, and uses the amulet of summoning go briefly back to Ossana and get a restoration spell.
12/16/3132: The group passes through third level and descends to level 4A. There Alicante is slain by yellow mold, and raised by the rod of resurrection. Further on the group finds and rescues Simon Sournote, the inept bard.
12/17/3132: Some grue are killed, and past them the party finds the eel of fortune. Various fortunes are won and lost.

12/21/3132: The heroes fight some giant fire lizards, then find a strange fortune-telling machine, which dispenses cryptic fortunes for a few gold pieces. After several battles against lesser monsters they are ambushed by a glabrezu demon and its pet ogres. The adventurers win, but Beldraggin is killed and the raise dead on him fails. Mentiri uses the wish pool to get him another chance, and this time it works.
12/22/3132: The group spends a strange day on 5th level. First they are beset by a "lurking lump", then are sucked into some kind of bizarre game show called "Beat the Undead". They defeat some wights and take what's behind the curtain, winning a rowboat and some water skis. Next, Soujrnee, Jedinna, and Megas get caught in a "slow time" field, and have to be left behind. Finally, the group is exposed to the white death disease by an altar to the Rat God.
12/23/3132: Signs of the disease (which quickly turns its victims into white goo) begin to appear. The group visits the "wish pool", and Parn Post-Protector uses the pool to learn how to cure the disease. They don a ring of fire protection one by one and shuffle through a large bonfire they have built, ending the plague. The lurking lump reappears. Bodo and Mohenjo-dharo (and the dogs) are found and safely unpetrified.
12/24/3132: The group finds a wish, and Erik wins it. He uses it to gain a level as a fighter, which he can no longer do on his own. The lurking lump is still about, and the strain on the group's nerves is beginning to grow.
12/25/3132: Rathbone risks the wish pool to summon a time elemental, and they use it to free Soujrnee, Jedinna, and Megas. It comes in handy one more time before it vanishes when a wight hits Bodo, draining him of a level. The fight is redone, and this time the wight is safely destroyed. They group heads outside. There they are barely in time to save Belegard and Razos, whom they had unwittingly exposed to the white death while checking on them a few days ago.
12/26/3132: Several members of the group go to Ossana, including Mohenjo-dharo, who is leaving the group permanently to go dwell in Tarranosh with his bride.
12/27/3132: The group obtains an exorcise spell and uses it to finally rid themselves of the lurking lump.
12/30/3132: The group descends once more into the dungeon and returns to 5th level.
