Brindle bravely leads your bold band westwards, from the chamber of broken bones, through the chamber of broken glass and into the chamber of broken bodies (far more gruesome and odorous than those rooms you have left behind you).

Behind him come Tesseryn and Aurion, then Wrukaog followed by Leisha, Cogwitz and Gratchscartch, while the ex-prisoners Haltashaar, Vashalla, Virdonitii and Moram Infidel Bane (having recovered his precious blade) bring up the rear.

Pronouncing the password, the valiant halfing proceeds through the persistent illusion that covers the opening in the north wall, thus avoiding the pernicious protective wards, to the large chamber beyond (to the west is the or at least a tomb of Mitra, to the east a passage that leads to both the place where Tesseryn found the Heart of Law and the mists that teleported you to the White Tower) where you are greeted, yet again and particularly pleasantly by Omphalos.

"Sssssoo good to sssee you again," the naga sssays politely or perhaps presumptuously.

"Omphalos, it is such a pleasure to see you again, too!" Brindle greets the guardian naga.

He holds up the temporally-challenged-puppy-in-a-cage for Omphalos to see.

"We are just going to take this little chap along to bask in the radiance of the Heart of Law, aren't we Tesseryn? He has really not been feeling himself lately but I am sure that even a moment in the presence of such a wondrous source of goodness will perk him right up again!"

Wrukaog yawns.

"Just hurry it up, will ya? Smashing all those skeletons and zombies was fun but there wasn't enough of 'em for me to really work up a sweat. I wanna go find some more baddies to fight!" he complains to Brindle.
