Returning to Waterdeep the Wolfsheads are greeted as heroes. They spend several days resting up and recovering from their ordeal.

The Wolfsheads are hired by a local wizard in Waterdeep to recover a tome of his stolen by goblins who attacked his apprentice and guards on the road to Red Larch. The Wolfsheads agree and in return the wizard uses a wish spell form a ring to raise Shartor.

The wizard provides them with a map of the area where the attack took place and they head off. They track the goblins back to their lair, an old ruined tower. They fight their way into the tower and take quite a bit of missile fire from hidden archers. They press on and fight their way into the main hall but are forced to retreat after being hit by more missiles and a few spells from a hidden mind flayer!

They retreat about four miles and set up camp but that night they are discovered by goblin scouts and attacked. The Wolfsheads fight off the goblins.

Four days later they make a second foray against the goblins, this time they are better prepared with spells and make it into the main chamber with few problems. They use sleep spells on the outer guard posts to pave the way. They fight the goblins in the main chamber and kill about half of them before the others break and flee into the warren. The Wolfsheads hunt down the goblins.

They find a prison cell and are rescuing the men-at-arms from it when they are engulfed in a fireball cast from behind them by the mind flayer. The prisoners all die and the Wolfsheads rush to engage the hooded spell caster but he flees. They give chase and eventually corner him in his own chamber where he makes a stand. He hits the party with mindblast and they flee! (having finally realised what they are up against).

The Wolfsheads rally and engage the mindflayer with spells before Aldor charges in and finishes him off with two strikes. The Wolfsheads breathe a collective sigh of relief then get down to the task at hand- looting the goblins treasure..
