The yet-to-be-named Sapphire Oath clean up the last bits of mess within Tiburs' Laboratory before making their tracks back to Argil with the rest of the expedition caravan.


Before the companions could leave, though, they had one last task left. It would be irresponsible to leave the clay golem below for unprepared individuals to stumble upon. After a night of rest, the heroes returned back down into the laboratory one last time. Getting to the double doors, Marduk heaved them open under great strain to find a room far more destroyed than it had been last time. The creature was angry and taking it out on everything else.
  Beatle led the momentum of the charge in song but large piles of rubble deterred the path. Ravel emitted a thunderous roar that blasted rubble out of the way and pelted the golem. In doing so, though, the magic scroll they were planning on using was flung from her hand in the air current. Buying time to find the scroll, Lord Sapphire cast an illusion through the dust into the corner of the room to distract the golem. This just brought more of his rather against the walls. Pebbles fell from the ceiling. The room was going to collapse. As the companions regathered, Marduk took it in his own hands to ensure any collapse would be towards the golem. Shoving out a fractured column towards the monster, Marduk then tore up the sewer grate in the room to drop the party in a underground water slide of flight to escape the collapsing room.
  The companions shot out the side of a crag face into a sloshing ravine. After picking their way out of the ravine, they returned overland back to the encampment. Now. Now they were ready to make the voyage to Argil.
