The Emerald Explorers venture on, trying to press their advantage against Nhur Athemon. Maybe they can locate the phylactery before the Lich knows they are there. The elevator disk comes to rest at the bottom of the shaft after an incredibly long descent. Here, wide stairs descend to a broad foyer. Two huge stone double doors loom at the far end of the room—an ancient inscription is chiseled into them. Arches to both sides of the stone doors reveal side halls flanking the one leading to the doors. A red light flickers in the darkness beyond the left-most arch.

After a quick stop at the Oreena Hollysong, you arrive at the Emerald Spire. The spire itself looks like its growing taller and reforming, or that could just be an illusion. The calm forest is disrupted by the shriek of Dragons!!! Three of them swooping from the towers, the look semi corporeal and seemingly channel the magical energy of the spire.

Travelling back to the Spire and braving the waterlogged levels, the top explored levels are still quiet and deserted. The first waterlogged level is also mostly deserted, the clumps of death tissue have started clinging together is corners of the dungeon where the currents push them. Fish and crabs are feasting on the flesh of the dead, but will scurry away when your magical lights hits them. The pathway to the lower level is still open and easily accessible. You all journey down deeper into the depth of the earth. The ramp winding down from the level above ends in a flight of stairs leading to a dank, low-ceilinged room. The curved surface of the Emerald Spire takes up the northwest corner, and to the east is a broad stairway leading down to a dark passage. A small archway leads out in the south wall. Several toad-sized crabs skitter about. The broad stairs lead down into a wide hallway. There are two hallways on the south wall and one on the east.

As travelers emerge from the Echo Wood underbrush, they find themselves staring up at a ruined keep guarding a broken central tower, all made of smooth, green glass. It’s obvious that a grand battle took place here many years ago, and the clearing around the ruin lies barren, with sickly weeds struggling to rise from the magic-blasted earth. Melted chunks of twisted glass pepper the ground, lending a green hue to the clearing’s light. Despite the damage, however, the glass of the keep itself seems to have avoided the ravages of time, with those pieces that survived the initial cataclysm unmarred by pitting or cracking, clean of moss and other clinging debris. At the top of a steep dirt path winding up through the rubble, a doorway opens onto darkness, its entrance seeming to steal light into its inky depths.
Extinguished Torch: The violet flame that has burned atop Black Hill for over a century has gone out, leaving a strangely seeping pit of rubble and bubbling fluids where the town's livelihood once glowed day and night.
