Eye of the Beholder (1991) : 09 - Unnecessary Fireballs

We resume our excursion outside of the Hall of Thieves. Our party manages to foil the devious trap, retrieve their stolen possessions and continue the search. After fighting a few Displacer Beasts, we find another Oracle. This one is the Oracle of Devouring. The stairs down are just beyond a quick battle with a Rust Monster. This new level is full of Mantis Warriors! These quick and lethal foes are capable of inflicting paralysis; which can be a serious hinderance to our party! After battling our way though the Hive, we find our way down to yet another level in this labyrinth beneath Waterdeep. The area seems to be a giant puzzle focused on the cardinal directions. We spot a Mind Flayer in the distance before finding a safe place to rest. We still haven't found the dwarves' missing prince nor found a way to wake their king. Are we getting any closer to discovering the evil entity Xanathar or stopping their schemes against Waterdeep?
