After resting the party returned to the stone plug. They found a handle that turns and moves the plug into the wall. Budwar cast a spell to improve his strength and after many tries managed to get it moving.
Beyond was a curved hallway that went both left and right. A sphere was slowly rolling along the floor when suddenly it shot out and exploded hurting Budwar. Entering the hallway they found that they were weightless and there was a slight current pushing them to the right. They also saw more of those spheres ahead and behind them. Moving slow enough not to get too close to any of them they searched for an entryway. The passageway seemed to curve in a big circle, and when they got to the opposite side of the entryway, they found anohter stone plug. Budwar managed to move this one and it revealed another passageway further inside the circle. They cautiously moved down this passageway and as the got to the opposite side of the inner circle, they found another stone plug. Budwar moved this and it revelead the inner chamber.
Inside the chamber was the seal that was partially holding the Runelord of Gluttony. The necromancer who freed him was holding a grisly book and reading to some Ghasts, and when they opened the plug, they attacked. The necromancer appeared to be missing his lower half and had constructed some sort of device that allowed him to fly.
The group were blocked off by the ghasts while the necromancer fly back and launched spells at them. Preacher was paralyzed by a ghast but was still able to channel and wound the ghasts. Orik and Budwar attacked the ghasts while Phain and Xantumal launched spells at the necromancer. Though Budwar was close to death, Preacher's heals kept him alive enough for the group to help kill the necromancer.
They studied the seal yet couldn't learn anything from it. Budwar vowed to send word to the Temple of Torag to get more help rebuilding this site and keeping it defended. Phain took the book the necromancer was reading, but couldn't indentify what it was without further investigation.
