Chrisnia slowly opened her eyes. It was still dark, but the first signs of daylight softened the dark gloom of the ski. All was quiet and tranquil, still, something was wrong. 'Mask!' she thought, 'Where is he?'. She looked around but there was no sign of Mask anywhere. Hurriedly, she woke Galdriel and the others, and minutes later, the were on their way, searching for the Jedi.

Using Durtiz's enhanced senses they followed the trail of scent the Jedi left behind him all the way to the room where the Baroness' ghost lurked. After brief moments of hesitation, Galdriel boldly entered the room, only to find it deserted. It was then clear to them that the Baroness must have somehow lured poor Mask to her room and possessed his body. The mere thought of the Baroness walking around in Mask's body sent shivers down their spine!

Still, the trail continued and led them to the top most floor of the tower where they found three prison cells. In the first two were several dead bodies but in the third was something that seemed to be alive. In the corner of the dark cell was a heap of rags that moved and quivered. Pitying the poor soul who has been trapped there for who knows how long, Katarina started chanting when she realized she did not memorize her spell for opening door that day! Galdriel tried to bash the door open but it was made of wrought iron and would not yield. After continuous failures to break open the cell door, the covenant finally had to give up. "Don't worry," Chrisnia cried "we'll be back for you!". A grumble and a loud fart were all they received as a reply.

Several hours later, the covenant stumbled upon what seemed to be a laboratory. In the center stood a large vase with a bronze stopper. As they approached to take a closer look they saw a word etched to the bottom: "Quag". They marveled at this when another sound attracted their attention. It was the sound of someone burping and spitting. They turned and saw a figure in the doorway - a short, fat black woman with a hairdo worse then Robert Smith's. She opened her mouth to speak when Durtiz's voice echoed in the hall "Quag!". Clouds of steam bellowed from the vase and a stream of water violently burst forth, sending Durtiz crashing against the wall. Desperately, he cried again "Quag!" and the watery mayhem ceased. The covenant looked at each other, all drenched, and discovered that their unexpected guest had disappeared in the flood.

"Well, it's a good thing it's gone" said Galdriel, "I'm not in the mood for another fight right now".

And thus, they were on their way again.

A little while later, they were slowly moving through the tunnels below the castle when they heard a grunting behind them. Looking back, they saw the tall figures marching toward them - mummies! The brave Covenant turned to fight when they saw something moving among the mommies, it was the fat woman they met in the lab. Behind it they could see a long trail of mummies and several wights, all in a single file a-la-harmonium. This was a bit too much for them so the brave heroes turned and fled. After a few twists and turns, it seems that our heroes have fled the black fat horror once more.

Finally, they reached a great hall where they encountered Micheal and Eric with all their undead minions. While the brave adventurers fended off the skeletal warriors, Chrisnia ran to Michael and showed him the wooden sculpture he gave her, thus breaking Loki's hold over him. With a louse rumble, the skeletons crumbled to dust and Michael rose to face the Lich. Lightning split the sky and thunder shook the earth as the two engaged in battle. In the end, the lich was destroyed and Michael followed the covenant out of the accursed castle. When they were far enough, Michael broke Eric's staff and stone by stone, the castle collapsed. It seemed to them for a moment that they saw a small black figure standing in one of the windows, but then the castle was lost in a cloud of dust.

A week later, when the festivities in the village still continued, Mayor Joseph walked up to the Covenant.

"Well, my friends, our village is forever in your debt. However, there is still one more thing I want to ask of you. Another group of adventurers who has ventured into the castle did not return. Only one of them survived, and I ask of you to take her into your ranks, for she has no where to go".

"Who is she?" Asked Galdriel.

"Her name is Queen Nibonai and she should be here any minute now. Oh, there she is!".

They turned around and saw, walking toward them, the short, fat, black woman they had managed to avoid so far. They looked at her, looked at each other, then screamed in unison:
