Having destroyed the slime mold on the altar, the others seem to have a task to do before they're ready to leave. I hope they work quickly, because I'd really like to get out of here.
One of them [Victor] places something [the amulet] on the altar, at which point a trio of imps materialize. The smell of rot and decay all around suddenly intensifies for a moment, and it's not pleasant. The amulet on the altar glows as the fight begins.
[[The foul pustules that covered the altar are gone. In their place are two large feathers, one black and one white, gleaming in the light of the everburning candle, which is once again lit.
In its soft glow, the holy writings of Ged can once again be seen on the walls of the shrine.]]
The others appear to have settled in for a night's sleep, so I do the same, remaining alert to possible danger.
