- Appearing from a portal in the ceiling, Qwimby suddenly joins us - He is distracted by Graxen's third eye - Terrible Turnip is still alive in Kalteo - Kyo approaches the final corridor, seeing a chequered tile pattern followed by magical darkness - He steps onto one on the tiles, narrowly avoiding as it flies upwards into the ceiling - which is covered in spikes - The second tile causes spikes to drop - but he again avoids this hazard - Orlan dispells the magical darkness - Graxen throws Kyo to try to clear the tiles, but is unable to throw him far enough - Using his reflexes, Kyo manages to clear the tiled area - landing where the magical darkness used to be - He can see some residue of the darkness, but the next area is otherwise nondescript - Advancing towards the next section of the corridor magically turns Kyo around - Although unable to advance, Kyo can see coins covering the floor in the next section - Attempting to Misty Step sends Kyo back to the area before the tiles - Graxen manages to cross the tiles and walks backwards through the magical barrier, which allows him to pass - Qwimby joins Graxen across the tiles, walking backwards through the barrier - The walls in the coin section appear to have surface level vertical gash marks - Graxen attempts to cross the room without disturbing any coins. He slips and knocks one with his foot, but nothing happens - The floor below Qwimby and Graxen opens. Graxen manages to grasp Qwimby before he falls, but the ceiling opens dropping a large amount of gold coins onto them - Graxen and Qwimby are crushed by the barrage of the coins - Kyo dashes forward, reaching Graxen in time to use Lay on Hands to save him - Ellette summons her dragon to dig Qwimby out of the pile of coins - using Vortex Warp to rescue him. Qwimby has died, as a result of suffocation, but Kyo uses Revivification - We scoop up 80,000GC into our bag of holding, while Kyo secrets away 92GC for himself - The walls in the next section are pocked haphazardly by small holes - There is a large, deep hole before us - Ellette flies forwards, but her flight immediately fails. Graxen pulls her back before she plummets into the hole - A large number of small eyes gaze down at us from the ceiling above - Qwimby nudges Graxen and asks "is that where you got your extra eye?" - Graxen looks up and sees the ceiling of eyes - Graxen then gets the joke - Graxen then laughs - Kyo attempts to bounce from the wall to the far side of the hole - he makes the jump, but a wall of force blasts him back to where he started - This causes the creatures overhead to scatter - Ellette drops a torch into the hole, it comes to an abrupt stop - and appears to be suspended in mid air - Ellette attempts to use the holes in the walls as handholds to climb across while Kyo clings to her back and guides her. This triggers the same blast of force to send them both backwards - Qwimby sets the immovable rod into the ground before tying a rope to his waist and repelling down into the hole - He lands on what appears to be an invisible floor below him - He takes a step forward but falls forward, dangling by the rope. Graxen pulls him back - Qwimby uses Create Water to make it rain, using the sprinkles to guide him as to where the invisible path may be - "We're all gettin wet" - This reveals a platform across a five foot gap before him - He jumps across, landing on invisible ground on the far side. He climbs the wall before him, upwards to the far side of the chasm - On the far side, Graxen notices a hinged mechanism in the floor behind us - Ellette uses fly with Kyo on her back while Graxen climbs onto the wall beside him - Kyo jumps from Ellette's shoulders - onto the lever at the end of the hall - This upends the room, causing it to pitch itself forward at 90 degrees and suspend - Qwimby saves himself from falling into the spikes uses the Immovable Rod - Graxen manages to cling to the wall, while Ellette - still in flight - dodges the spikes swinging towards her - Steve and Orlan approach the large door. All the deadbolts have lifted - but the giant skull remains in place, staring at them as they approach - They both approach the skull. It begins to glow, seeming displeased with their presence - Graxen walks up the wall on one side while Ellette flies on the other. Both grasp one of Qwimby's arms - lifting him up and out of the pit. - The group reforms with Orlan and Steve, taking a short rest before approaching the skull together - The skull speaks to the party - we just hear the end of its sentence "... tell to me..." as Orlan has cast Cone of Silence upon it - Orlan asks that it repeat itself, but it demands sacrifice - The skull then repeats its riddle - "I have no key yet doors I part, a simple twist a work of art. Though bound in chains, I set you free. What am I, tell to me?" - Qwimby answers with "key" - causing the skull to disappear but the door remains locked - Qwimby uses his Warrior Pass key to unlock the door. A massive knock echoes through the dungeon - We enter a large chamber with four massive hour glasses in each of its corners. One is red, one green, one blue and one white. The chamber is divided by a large walkway with a central hour glass in its zenith - The corner hour glasses are stationary while the one in the centre is unstable - "Balance time to move forward, the price is paid in blood" - echoes throughout the room - Orlan examines the blue hourglass. It is cold to the touch, and the sand inside appears to be shards of ice - The red hourglass is hot to the touch - The green hourglass feels almost like light and life - a magic that reflects vitality - The central hourglass shifts in and out of visibility, seeming to phase in and out of our reality - The white hourglass gives off a blinding light - Orlan attempts to move the blue hourglass, his hand becomes stuck to the glass - He twists the hourglass, the sand inside does not flow as easily - His body is now covered in ice - Kyo attempts to move the white hourglass. Steve moves up to help, but is blinded by the sheer light - Kyo tries to guide Steve's hands towards the hourglass - Steve finds the hourglass. Her hand becomes stuck to it as she begins to move it. She manages to turn the glass - Kyo can tell that the sand inside the white glass is now flowing slower - Graxen moves the red hourglass. The ash inside now flows slower - Ellette moves the green hourglass - attempting to match the angle that all the others have been moved to - This drains a portion of her vitality - Graxen turns the red hourglass to its side. It clicks into place and the ash inside begins to glow brightly. Each time he turns it, he is burned by the firy heat - Orlan attempts to turn the blue hourglass to match, but is frozen upon touching it - Steve turns the white hourglass on its side. It clicks into place, also glowing - Ellette turns the green hourglass fully on its side. It clicks into place, glowing - but drains even further life essense from her - Graxen turns the blue hourglass - he manages to turn it once but is then frozen by it - Kyo smashes both Orlan and Graxen free - Graxen manages to turn the blue hour glass into place. Like the others, it clicks and begins to glow - All of the hourglasses begin to spin, while the central one is now giving off pulsating energy - Kyo approaches it, crossing passed the first pulsing wave - Kyo ages by six years - Pressing onwards, he ages by one year - The next pulse ages him another year - The next pulse ages him five years - The next pulse ages him four years - The next ages him two years - The final pulse ages him a single year - In the centre, Kyo uses a whip from his pack to pull on the glass. It will not move - Graxen joins him, also aging with each pulse, by 17 years in total - Kyo continues to age as Graxen reaches the hourglass - Ellette moves down the third of four walkways, aging as she passes each pulse - She ages 21 years in total - Kyo and Graxen both continue to age as Ellette joins them on the pedestal - Qwimby moves up to walk down the final walkway, aging as the others when he passes each pulse - Qwimby ages by 29 years - All three of the others continue to age as Qwimby arrives at the hourglass - The four continue to age as they attempt to turn the hourglass - straining together against its massive weight - It does not move on the first attempt - As they try again, Orlan cures Steve of her blindness - The hourglass does not move on the second attempt, causing the group around it to continue to age - It begins to twist on the third attempt - locking into place and leveling out time in the area - By the end of this process, Qwimby is 70. Ellette is 224. Graxen is 122, and Kyo is now 113 - having died of old age - Orlan attempts to revive Kyo with Revivify - This succeeds, but Kyo is still extremely aged - Oraln restores Ellette's vitality and age - We proceed onwards, opening the door at the far side of the chamber
