=== 11 August 1145 ===

The party opts to take a short rest in the Gnoll Lair (Cave J) before continuing on to the Shrine of Evil Chaos (Cave K).

There, they find an Ogre Zombie (with a familial resemblance to Oggdug in Cave E) guarding the entrance.
Despite its size and strength, the party is able to destroy it and continue on to an Altar Room, where the
chaos bell is hanging.  An armored cultist named Narthus rings the bell to animate four piles of bones.
Soon, four zombies wander in from an adjoining room.  After a protracted fight, the party destroys the
undead, kills Narthus, then overwhelms the cult leader, Ivlis in the next room.

With Ivlis captive, Dravindi wraps the chaos bell in a blanket and the party takes both to the Sacred
Spring (see [[immenri_07|session #7]]).  When the bell is submerged in the spring, the strange magical aura
that infused the valley dissipates.  However, when Ivlis is likewise submerged, her body melts into a new form:
A Doppelganger!  Since the spring also brought her back to consciousness, the party quickly binds her arms
and legs and blindfolds her to ensure she won't try using her magic.

After a brief stop to discuss the situation with the hermit, Xanthe, the party returns to the Keep
and delivers their prisoner to the Castellan.

Ivlis is tossed into a cell and the party are hailed as heroes - though they know the job isn't quite done!
