Eventually, the heroes were hired to save some miners who had been trapped in a collapse while digging a tunnel beneath the tower of the wizard [[Sionaas]]. Sionaas explained to the heroes that there was an ancient ruin beneath his tower housing an orb that would reveal the location of a fabulous treasure. Joined by the stout dwarf [[Balon Stonehelm]], they dug the trapped miners out of the rubble and ventured inside. However, it was quickly determined that the ruins were actually an ancient temple of [[Lolth]], and when they defeated the orb's guardian they realized that it was far more than what Sionaas had told them and fled with the orb under cover of darkness.

While traveling across the plains, Midilono left to pursue other adventures, and Justin was slain by a weretiger. They took Justin's body to the city of [[Edras]] to have him raised, but as they did not have enough money they were instead given a task: to travel north to the town of [[Karst]] and save them from a band of orcs that was launching raids from a nearby abandoned keep. After ridding the keep of the orcs, trolls, and goblins that inhabited it, they ventured into the mines behind it where they found an orcish cleric and a horde of undead minions. They slew him as well, Leardon taking the cleric's greataxe for himself, and returned to the mayor of Karst, who rewarded them with the deed to the keep and its mines. The heroes resolved to make [[Brightstone Keep]] their new home.
