Further Beatings at the River Styx

We go back again in a last shot at rescuing our friends and getting some Styx water. The river has frozen over but we manage to find some further upstream. We fight piles of demon and Find the Path to a place directly under where our friends disappeared. On our way we meet Kentimentiu and Maskini, who claim to have recently emerged from spheres in which they were imprisoned about 10 000 years ago. They came looking for the Guardian of Ra, a mechanical scorpion and generally seem pretty dodgy.

We fight some brass minotaurs and get to the end of our path. We use various means to dig in all directions and fetch spheres. Quiteria comically Magic Resists her way in to a sphere but fails her roll to get out, leaving her trapped as well. Pouring Styx water on them opens them and we free our friends, the river lady's bear man and an adorable miniature chimera. We squash it but Quiteria puts it in her pocket to animate later.
