Orontor, the rescued human merchant tells them what he knows about the siege of Phaervorul. They agree to take him with them while they go to discuss the situation with Matron Urlvrain (aka “The Queen in Red”).
Despite their friendly intentions, the Drow Templars guarding the entrance to the temple fight to the death. In the end, a single Drow Priest surrenders and agrees to escort them in to see the queen. He leads them through a vast torture chamber and in to the queen's vault.
After some discussion, the queen agrees to tell them all she knows about the Four Courts if the party agrees to attack the “traitor” Lareen's villa – as she is the one who let the demons and undead in to attack the city. If the party is successful, Urlvrain also agrees to hand over the Page of Cups to them – who will be able to lead the party to the other pages – and, in turn, to the ultimate leader of the Four Courts, the “King in Yellow”.
The party storms into Lareen's villa and finds numerous undead, a shrine to Orcus, an arcane pool of blood, and a portal to an unknown location. During the fight, both Ibiza and Lareen are pushed through the portal – but are able to return without incident.
Once she is defeated, Zim is able to seal the portal and the party returns the traitor's head to Matron Urlvrain – who honors her agreement and gives the party a guide who will lead the party out of the underdark and to her page.
Whereupon the campaign ends – at least for now…
