Sigeia - Ziggurat beside Cathedral.
EditEvents
Got map from Toby - a toftsman who knows the area under the Ziggurat by paying him with a gem worth 50gp. He left the city afterwards.
Lurked in the sewers that evening, Eliakim disarmed some traps on door in the sewers. Found a door up into the skullery which seems to be a lot older than the rest of the ziggurat - found that the ziggurat is bound here. Snuck about, followed the servants passages and ended up back in the room where the Eyes of Fire and Fear was encountered previously.
There we found a closet with Priests robes which we took and a chest that we opened. Turn out it had some deep shadows, so Eliakim jumped in, only to find that it lead to the underworld. He used some hags blood to power a trump portal back to us, but the portal stayed open. We then set up a remote trigger using a bone so that we could drop the chest into the portal if we need to, thus creating a gate that lead back to itself - no idea how dangerous this will be.
Heading out, we followed corridor back past the way we entered last time. The door to which had been walled off. Further on were some stairs, and at the bottom of the stairs a door with a grill and bolt. On the other side were 2 guards (one on each side). Eliakim quaffed one of Nereus's Etherealness potions and went through the door, ready to attack one guard while Nereus attacked the other. Both were already asleep however. Nereus made them both Bone weary to ensure the didn't wake up if they heard noise (rendered them unconcious).
The party found itself in the middle of a corridor going off left and right. At each end were doors similar to the one we came through, about halfway down were 2 residential looking doors. We snuck down to either end to find 2 guard on either side again and repeats our last actions (4 more unconcious guards). Returning to the leftmost door Eliakim poked his head in and saw a mage in robes (who we saw last time we were here - he was with the Death Knight). We planned and ambush an jumped in.
Nereus acted first, throwing some Flesh to Stone dust at the mage who resisted. He then uttered a command word and 3 circles sprung into being, having no effect and activated his bracers of defence. Joachim hit him with a Morgan David, which dropped his forcefield leaving him defenseless. Eliakim then skewered him with his force lance, killing him. Combat looting took place while his soul was dragged off to hell.

I've also got a note about a focus for circles (power words for protection from evil, protection from extraplanar creatures, resistance). Was that his spellbook or just an ability he had?
