The Long Arm of the Squid

At the end of the clam, restful area, an elaborate room vault down into the Pit of Screaming Ghosts.  The winding stair eventually spirals around a column into a vast cavern, with treasures as far as the eye can see.  As Lars makes for a pile of treasure, but finds out that it is all just an illusion.

Edimmus, the twisted undead spirits of genies, swirl about the room and attack the party.  Their shrieks are dangerous, but the party manages to slowly take them down, one by one.  Even during a blast of their gust of wind.

Moving into the ruins, the party encounters a room with a crystalline sand kraken.  Lars studies things for a moment, and says the magic words.  Lars enters the room and does not set anything off.  Luce then enters the room and the waiting beast attacks with all 10 tentacles, even reaching out into the hallway.  Billy and Itaridë move back further in the hall, and continue their ranged attacks.  Everyone else except Lars spends a few rounds grappled with the squid.  Distracted by so many tasty morsels, the sand kraken is taken down by ranged fire.

Back further, in the tomb of the ancient gnoll priestess Shirak, the party loots and finds the Scroll of Kakishon and a few other shiny objects.
