• Third Age, Year 1108
• 6 September - Sneak past dragon and down into Mines; Kill Vargnin

Cleaning up the dungeon called “Beyond the Light of Reason” (Dungeon magazine, issue #96, Jan/Feb 2003, pages 65-89).

With the death of Vargnin, the following changes will occur:

T8) Narhalm's geist will no longer be stuck between worlds. He is now free to leave, but is still in a state of shock. When the party finds him, he will be sitting on the floor on top of (and concealing) his skeletal corpse. He has a scruffy beard that has been braided into four strands that dangle oddly from his chin and is hunched over as if exhausted and will not even notice the party until they approach quite close. When they do, he will slowly look up and ask the nearest person, “Is he dead?” If anything other than an affirmative answer is given, he will act confused and repeat the question. Once an affirmative answer is given, he says the following:

       Then I can go home.
       Berronar will not mind if you travel beyond her fire.
       It is time for the fires beyond to either be quenched or released.
       May she watch over you in the darkness you seek.

He then closes his eyes, slumps slightly forward, and vanishes. It is at this point that the party will see his remains - and all his gear (which glows for only a few seconds after Narhalm himself vanishes).

T3) To make Suzanelle a little more challenging, add 3 levels of Cleric to her. This makes her stats as follows:

The question: How do the seven of us safely pass through these flames to continue on the path towards Einerk's Tomb?

The answer: Do not fear the path of darkness. Even evil can sometimes be used for good.

Note: Bone Devil bumped to CR10 since the party was pretty much out of spells.
