Rest overnight in lovers-statue cave with dead cultist-bandits, attempts to treat Saya's wound are unsuccessful.
Explore the caves, open rusty portcullis and recover 18gp from shallow pool. Hear approaching footsteps - turns out to be six Wolf Soldiers under a Wolf Knight. 'Ambush' pimply rearguard, Rollo pinning him to floor, but Laxus negotiates sucessfully with the Wolf Knight, persuading her that it must have been some other Nimothan who murdered Ser Kallegar, D'hmis' cousin. Tells her the Ruby has been taken by Cathrandamus, and he's heading for Nith. Follow them at a distance out of the dungeon; save the rearguard from the mad murderer Travis, they kill Travis & Ulfdin takes his suit of heavy mail armour (+6/-3).
Finally exit the Palace ruins.

Silver Princess #9 evening 5/1/2215 - Adventuring - 6 CP

The Atlantean heroine Aliegha brings her master the priest Cathrandamus the great gem, he & his followers leave with My Lady's Heart, bound for Nith. The party (Rollo Saya Laxus & Ulfdin) decide to remain and continue exploring the Palace. Cathrandamus promises a rich reward should the party visit the Temple of Nergal in Nith.
Ballroom - a strange whistling snake charms and bites Ulfdin (wounded) before Laxus shoots it dead.
A Mithraic Bloodsucker vine plant on the ballroom balcony attacks, but is driven off then burned to death with expensive brandy. Cathrandamus looks back from a rise to see smoke and flames rise from the Palace.
Party goes to the Watchtower at sunset and encounters the strange sight of three swords fighting - and yelling - by themselves. They take rope ladder down to lower chamber (now in dusk) and descend steps, empty room, more steps - finding a spiked pit trap with corpse of a long dead adventurer, & Ulfdin finds a silver ruby-eyed statue in his pack. Further down they enter natural caverns. In a cave with a statue of two lovers they encounter a band of eight brigands, cultists of the Great Doom, and attack - all eight are killed, but Saya is wounded in the melee. They have 400 sp.
