As an epilog, the party will be sent to the underground meeting place of the Pentaverate: the dwarves of the Shadowyarn Mountains; the nobles of the Eastern Reaches; the nobles of the Western Reaches; the priests of the Church of St. Theodore (from an old U-Gene adventure); and the Monks of the Wait. There, the Pentaverate are planning a raid on the Shadow Keep. However, the groups are arguing about this when "the party" arrives. Shortly thereafter, the crypt will be invaded by the minions of Atli the White, and the stage will be setup for the Siege of the Shadowkeep.

You hear the sound of a quickly approaching animal. From in front of you, a cat (about 60 feet in height) comes screaming at you (at an unbelievable movement rate), jaws open ready to swallow your diminutive form.

There are two doors leading from the room, one in the north and one in the south. The tables are covered with a myriad of small metal parts, drawings of a mechanical nature, and other items common to the tinkerer's profession.

This stone room is a large plain square without furniture. Two archways lead out of the room. There are six mechanical copper guards here, each resembling a large snowman. They are armed with copper swords which glow.

This room is a dark, windowless cube of extraordinary proportions. In the center of the room are four large pillars supporting what appears to be another large cube. A low musical chanting can be heard, and there is a very strong aura of magic here. It is difficult to determine the direction of the sound, as it bounces off the walls creating eerie echoes. There are two doors to the room, on opposite walls from each other.

A small globe of glowing blue-black light surrounds a mage that hovers several feet above the ground. The mage seems to be in some sort of a trance, his eyes closed, chanting in some foreign tongue.

Line 532:

If touched, the globe will feel warm to human skin. Pressing harder against the globe merely causes the warm glow to become hotter and hotter. Magical items pressed against the globe will cause a bright white light to cover the surface of the globe, near where the item contacts it. The item will not pass within the globe however. Non-magical items can be slowly pressed into the globe, although the strength required to do so is massive, and the rate that they enter is very, very slow. The golem enters by inching its way in slowly. The globe is invulnerable to magical spells of any type, disapating their effects over its surface with a bright white light. This should reduce the party to watching their golem fight the guardian golem for possession of the sword.
