The party decided to infuse their weapons right away so they headed to the central chamber of runeforge, where the pool awaited surrounded by the statues of the last Runelords.
Dropping a shard of mirror from the Shimmering Veil in the pool, followed by Delvahine's "equipment", the pool started to bubble violently and swirl with many colors. Phain dipped his weapon in infusing it with the powers of illusion and enchantment. Just then Karzoug's voice boomed
You. Again. I can’t help but be inspired by your optimism, but alas,
your weapons will never reach Xin-Shalast. Your fate is death, here
in Runeforge.
The statue of Karzoug attacked! Vale or Orik dipped their weapons in right away and joined Phain in attacking. They found the statue was vulnerable to their Domineering weapons and called for the other to infuse their weapons as well. The newly empowered weapons made short work of "Karzoug".
The party then had a choice. The way out was supposedly in the wrath wing, but they wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else in Runeforge that they could use in the fight against Karzoug.
The decided to investigate the Abjurant halls. They knew from Vraxeris's journal that a couple years before this hall was wiped out by the other wings in a joint effort. Phain out ahead of the group found a room with a broken rod stuck into the floor. As he moved in to investigate, the rod burst with energy and powered down his magic items. He retreated back into the hall, took off his items, then return in the room and used his knowledge to disarm the rod so it would not go off and affect anyone else.
No one was left alive in the wing, but they found a magical pool filled with some strange liquid that was almost a solid. Phain investigated and determined that if you put magical items in the pool, it would break down the item into its components that could be used to create new items faster and cheaper. Unfortunately with Khazen dead, no one could use the pool, so they left it alone.
Next the decided to check out the Festering Maze. Phain scouted it out first and discovered everything dead inside and it was filled with poisonous gasses. Not needing anything from there, they moved on.
Next Preacher wanted to head into the necromancy wing and kill off all the undead, so the group headed there next. Coming into the first room, it was filled with mummies. Preacher rushed into the room and started channeling positive energy while the rest of the party attacked. Preacher and Orik were infected by disease while fighting, but everyone survived the battle. Preacher healed Orik and himself before heading deeper into the wing.
