Trapped in a cursed maze beneath the ruined city, the heroes chase the illusion of a sacred artifact. As Kaelen’s cursed wound worsens and Aelinthir unravels emotionally, the party faces deadly traps, hallucinatory corridors, and a room packed with undead horrors. But when they realize the Orb of Rah was never real, their purpose shifts—from hope to vengeance.
Descending into a suffocating maze beneath a ruined city, the party encounters Varlek the Craven at last—but not before Kaelen is cursed by a necromantic dagger. As the ancient tomb collapses and the necromancer vanishes into shadow, the party is left reeling, their strongest warrior dying, and the only hope for a cure buried deeper in darkness.

As golden sand pours in from the ceiling, threatening to bury them alive, only Thimara’s heightened senses can reveal the ancient puzzle that holds their salvation. In the darkness, breathless and sinking, they must trust in instinct, intelligence, and each other—or be entombed forever beneath the earth.
