===The Return of Gryff===
We Challenge the Unspeakable<br>
In this temple we saw the warnings<br>
Broke the seals and bypassed restraints<br>
That we might destroy what lay within<br>
We opened the coffin<br>

What emerged, in our amazement<br>
Our lost companion who had vanished<br>
Sealed away into the Far Realm<br>
Defending us from madness he fell<br>
In death he saved us all<br>

We spoke with joy and confusion<br>
In joy welcomed our companion, asked<br>
In confusion how he came here<br>
But he did not recall the Far Realm<br>
Or how this came to be<br>

Something aberrant lurks nearby<br>
Warned our mighty ranger, his axe bright<br>
Shining that aberrants are near<br>
And until the coffin had opened<br>
It had not lit before<br>

Something aberrant lurks within<br>
Warned our fearless battlemind, her soul<br>
Devoted to slaying such things<br>
Corruption in our lost companion<br>
She had not felt before<br>

Should we bring him, should we leave him<br>
We know how every path will end, he<br>
Will be consumed by this evil<br>
Fall to corruption and die again<br>
Slain now by our own hand<br>

Our quicksilver monk found a way<br>
A magic path to a Feywild grove<br>
There our lost companion would rest<br>
While we returned and sought for magic<br>
Strong enough for a cure<br>

Our clever sorcerer, knowing<br>
A path once opened can be retraced<br>
Should our friend fall while in the grove<br>
Nothing remained to bar his escape<br>
So gave our friend a draught<br>

With it he promised bold tongued lies<br>
An easy passage to the Feywild<br>
Swift reunion on the far side<br>
Concealing that it granted cursed sleep<br>
Deceived our friend drank<br>

Our friend drank and fell into sleep<br>
And with sleep fell his glamour'd disguise<br>
This was not and had never been<br>
Our long lost friend or dear companion<br>
But an aberrant fiend<br>

With deceit it had sought freedom<br>
With deceit it was betrayed and died<br>
We slew it quickly and we mourned<br>
Our companion who we lost once more<br>
Who had never returned<br>


===Pyramid of Shadows===
Beware all you who travel here<br>
For this lying gate, when I stepped through<br>
It spoke: Your glory at the cost<br>
Of another's misery, and yet<br>
All misery was mine<br>

Believing my friend bore the curse<br>
We sadly ventured forth, however<br>
In battle I fumbled my blow<br>
Those of the gate appeared before me<br>
And cruelly struck me down<br>

Narrowly was that battle won<br>
We who Challenge the Unspeakable<br>
Pass along to you this warning<br>
As you travel further in this realm<br>
Remember this door LIES<br>
