After killing the hobgoblins and looting their lair, our friends moved on. And right into a nasty room full of traps, where Carric got trapped in a water-whirlwind trap, encased by an arcane wall. Meanwhile, the rest were battling a huge statue of Orcus, and some forcebreathing stonedragons that were defending the control panel. Despite Valmer thinking it would be a great idea to smash his axe into one of the two control panels, Tagron managed to diffuse the traps.
Next they found what was Kalarel's private chambers. They found his diary, and a lot of gold. Tagron scouted down some stairs, and could hear chanting. The diary told them that this Kalarel character was apparently in the process of making a ritual that would open a rift, and let Orcus in. They even found a lot of notes regarding the ritual. Judging from the diary, they still had about 1½ day until it would be finished, so they decided to get a good night's rest, and then head down. Truxas, who wasn't in as bad shape as the rest of them, volounteered to stay up the whole night, guarding the others.

Ready for the final battle they moved down, into the temple of Orcus. Down there, they first battled Marcus, some vampires and some zombies that died really quick, as well as some dark fey creature, looking a bit like a gnome, yet not. But as it turns out, it was not over. The ritual was being conducted under the temple, where Kalarel was just about to open a portal. In fact, there was a shadowy arm which was trying to claw it's way through. A long and hard fight later, and our heros had killed Kalarel, but alas! the portal did not seem to close..
