 === 15 October 1111 ===
-**//coming soon...//**
+The party rests for the night so they can enter the Tower of the Worlds fresh.
+[[Ketamine]] spends the time brewing some potions in the Chambers of Creation,
+with a little help from [[Freyrik]].
+Zoldathra offers some additional details about what the party will find in the
+Tower -- including the claim that he "had the demons protecting the portal
+chamber dispelled".
+=== 16 October 1111 ===
+[[Ketamine]] successfully reassembles the King's Scepter, with help from a
+Dwarven Artisan who was held as a slave by the Yuan-ti.
+//Area D9)// Summit Chamber
+As the party prepares to use the portal to enter the Tower of the Worlds,
+[[Freyrik]] notices a small, invisible chest sitting next to the wall to the
+right of the portal.  After requesting that everybody stand back, he opens it to
+find three **//potions of Delay Poison//**, some kind of **//luck gem//**, and a
+letter of introduction from an unknown benefactor:
+| //My friends,\\ \\ I have watched your progress with great interest since your arrival at \\ the Barrow of King Theron.\\ \\ In that time, I regret that I have only been able to assist you \\ indirectly for fear that our mutual enemies would discover my existence\\ and the conflict would escalate into a war that would engulf the \\ innocents in this region.\\ \\ Now, however, my divinations have shown that the enemy’s ritual has \\ reached a point where the risk of exposure pales in comparison to the \\ risk of failure.\\ \\ Still, I must tread lightly.  I believe the House already knows I am \\ here – but they hopefully remain ignorant of my role so far.\\ \\ In this chest, I offer what help I can provide with the limited \\ preparation at my disposal.  Save the potions until you find the king’s \\ bones – but do not delay in using them once you do!\\ \\ The gem will grant luck to the first of you who touches it. Choose \\ carefully – for once granted, the luck cannot be transferred.\\ \\ May the gods shine on your day so that one day soon I am able to \\ introduce myself properly.//  |

+//Area S1)// The Portal Chamber
+The party steps through the portal into the center of a large, empty room with
+corpses in varying stages of decay hanging by chains and rusty hooks from the
+ceiling.  Either Zoldathra's claim about the demons was true -- or there were no
+demons to begin with.  This room is free of threats.
+{{nagatha.jpg?200 |A Nagatha}}
+//Area S2)// The Vestibule
+The party encounter (and kill) a pair of Nagathas and a Fiendish Medusa (named
+Effandra).  The Medusa's purpose was to protect the door leading to the
+Sacramental Chamber.
+//Area S3)// Endless Stair
+Per instructions from Zoldathra, [[Heilli]] speaks the pass phrase, "I spill my
+life for Sertrous" in Yuan-Ti to (allegedly) disable the magical trap beyond
+the door.
+Beyond the door, a seemingly endless stairway rises into the darkness.  Precious
+minutes are spent climbing this stair, but no hazards are encountered.
+//Area S4)// The Sacramental Chamber
+Sulvaugren, the leader of the Vanguard of Sertrous is found in the midst of his
+//Sacrament of the Risen Abyss//.  A long, protracted fight ensues -- in which
+he is killed and the shield, [[Aegis Inviolable]] is retrieved.
+{{ sulvaugren.jpg|Sulvaugren during the Sacrament}}
+Upon his death, the party hears the "voice" of the dead king, Theron -- who tells
+them that despite Sulvaugren's death, they have "lost" and Sertrous will rise.
+As his last (and only) act of defiance, he grants the party some of his mystical
+power so that they can (hopefully) defeat "The Risen King".
+In the end, the party proves capable of the task and the Risen King is destroyed.
