Our heroes ventured into a brightly lit room, discovering an everbright crystal which they promptly took. Hearing laughter beyond a locked door, they used a matching key to unlock it. Inside, a strange creature laughed while reading. Once Asterion realized its connection with the ghouls, they decided to eliminate it. The group defeated the creature and found another key, odd books, and a poltergeist ritual.
In their exploration, they found a luxurious bathroom and a staircase leading downwards, but chose to continue exploring their current floor. Entering a room with a sculpture of Absalom and a wooden statue resembling Belcora, they were attacked by the golem with strange antimagic properties. They managed to defeat the golem and moved on.
Next, they discovered an unfinished library and a magical pick, then found a hot room containing a ring. A vengeful spirit emerged when Asterion stepped into the room, causing the group to retreat and rest in town.
The following day, they continued exploring, spotting the familiar green glow in a previous room. Opting to explore upstairs, they identified and removed some brown mold before defeating a water drake.
