A few months later, the barbarian [[Torgar]] arrived at Brightstone Keep with news: he was a longtime friend of Tol, and while they were having a drink together in Karst a wizard had shown up and taken him prisoner. Deducing from Torgar's description that this wizard was Sionaas, Zigil, Leardon, Justin, and Balon resolved to rescue Tol; Torgar went with them. They were also joined by one of the elves who had arrived with Zephyr, a sorcerer named [[Arenil]].

Together, the six heroes traveled south to Sionaas's tower and, locating a secret passage within the temple below it, entered. After battling the undead that Sionaas had set to guard his tower, they eventually reached the top of the tower, where Sionaas was waiting for them. In the midst of the battle, Sionaas assumed his true form: a powerful steel dragon. After a mighty battle, Torgar finally beheaded the dragon and sent its body tumbling off the side of the tower.

After dispatching the Sionaas, the heroes found Tol chained up in the wizard's personal quarters, having been tortured but not seriously harmed. Leaving back through the ruined temple, they found a magical archway that Sionaas had been using to communicate with Lolth. Accidentally activating the device, Leardon was nearly killed by Lolth's gaze before they could shut it down. After bidding Torgar farewell, they returned together to Brightstone.

When they returned, however, they found Brightstone mysteriously deserted. After several hours of searching, they found a mysterious obelisk that had been unearthed in the mine. When activated, it transported the party to the plane of [[Acheron]], where they found Prov being held by an erinyes warlord who wanted to use her for information. After negotiating her return (and then returning to Brightstone themselves), the heroes learned that the elves had left, and the dwarves had been transported to the plane of [[Mechanus]] by the obelisk. Using the obelisk to travel there, they successfully rescued the dwarves from the formians who had enslaved them and returned to Brightstone not only with the miners but also several loads of valuable [[thinuan]] ore.
