So after we kill off all chaff, we duck behind pillars and make our way towards door. Mace and his minions move to intercept us, so we slowly stalk towards each other. Scary devil girl and cleric quickly figure out the potions and scrolls and divy them up. Best potions are speed and invulnerability. Since me tough already, invulnerability potion better for others, so me take speed potion.

Nature boy and devil girl worked on making place feel less creepy with their magic. One cleric try to freeze me, but nature boy free me, so I charge over and hit evil cleric guy. Me get angry they using cheap tricks on us, so me call on strength of sword. Royal guard surround me, but me just chop them up.

But then one cleric send me to foggy place. I get angrier that they keep cheating, and eventually me appear back in real world. Me charge and focus on clerics for their foul trickery. They end up all falling to us eventually.

Mace then called to his god and dark clouds appeared in ceiling. He invoke Bane to curse us. Me not affected, so me go focus on him. I ignore his champion because me really hate clerics now and want to focus on Mace. Me use power attacks to hurt him bad, but then his champion (who seemed to be a devil!) cut me down. Methinks Mace tried to finish me off while me out of it, but me survive and get back up when sneaky guy heal me with potion.

Meanwhile, paladin guy calls to his own god, which dispels darkness and uncursed everyone. That make Mace freak out, and he prolly surprised I got back up. Me kill him afterward.

With him and his minions dead, all left was devil champion. We all focus on him, then scary devil girl shoot missiles from her new staff to finish him off.

After bad guys all dead, Anton found last cache, which contained plethora of magic weapons. Then evil presence left temple and we feel Tyr watching over us now to help protect us from harm.

We stay at Mace's mansion since he no longer using it. We find important letters in his stuff. We find letter from “The Boss”, who wanted him to investigate and use his clerics to combat undead coming from graveyard.

We also find Mace's diary, where he lists info he had on the Lord of the Ruins. Mace felt it actually, “Lord of Ruin”, since he once heard him say, “They will once again behild the lord of ruin and despair!” Anyways, his name Tryanthaxus, and though he claim to follow Bane, other than temple we freed, he have no other places worship Bane. Indeed, he have tiny shrines for the Goldeneyes to worship himself.

Mace say Tryanthaxus seems like normal human, but his physical abilities seemed enhanced. Mace says he favors mind controlling magic and has affinity for fire spells. He seem to conceal true extent of his power and discourages people trying to find out about him. Divination magic seems to fail to find things about Tyranthaxus. Mace thinks he seeks conquest, but also has ulterior motive he keeps hidden from even his people.

Mace avoids plaza because Beholder freak him out. He thinks Genherous an arrogant fool and Andranka an uncultured boor. So it sound like he not get along too well with his supposed allies.
