## Events

* The party continues exploring the sewers. They find a passage in the water that leads further down. As the party approaches, they encounter a water elemental.
* After defeating it, Dain, Saber, and Tholgar find a room used as a drug den. They loot some useful substances before exploring the passage.
* Tholgar heads down to scout ahead. When he resurfaces, he tells the party to come down. The party uses a wand of water breathing to prepare for underwater exploration and head down.
* There, the party meets several ancient creatures called Axolt. One such creature, an oracle, is a devout of the Moon God. She and Lusine share some words before the party continues onwards.
* Up ahead, the party finds stairs upwards. They enter a hallway where a voice begins magically speaking to them, telling them of trials ahead. The party must endure three mental trials and three physical trials. In the main room is some sort of angelic clockwork golem, which the recording of Vanhaven tells them to ignore.
* On the left side, the mental trials are as follows:
	+ The party encounters a chessboard. Saber demonstrates his leadership skills and encourages the enemy pieces to lead a rebellion against their king/monarch.
	+ The next trial has two mirrors in a small room. Dainsleif attempts to negotiate with his mirror self for a little while before just smashing the mirrors and walking through.
	+ The final mental trial has a large, demonic face telling the party to enter one of two doors that sound as though they are obviously trapped. Lusine finally convinces the head to show them the proper passage, which ends up being behind the head itself.
* The party finds a loot room after the mental trials, then proceeds to the physical trials.
	+ The first physical trial involves platforms floating over a void. Saber steps up and jumps across them with ease.
	+ In the next trial, the party must collect a key from a pit of strange fluids. Various party members try and fail before Saber steps up. While he initially seems to fail, he forces himself to push through and collect the key despite the discomfort, which causes him to temporarily succumb to a lesser bout of insanity - namely, a phobia of the color blue.
	+ In the final physical trial, Tholgar tries to topple a giant statue. After failing once, he offers it a bar of soap, which pleases the recording of Vanhaven such that he allows Tholgar to try again, allowing him to succeed.
* After the physical trials, the party finds another loot room. The party distributes the wealth amongst themselves before stepping back out into the main chamber. There, Vanhaven tells the party they are now free to fight the golem for additional rewards. The party prepares to do.
