| If you had opened the first door previously, you are faced once again by Mr. Puddlesworth.

| You find [[kayok_the_slipperyquick|Kayok the Slipperyquick]] in the tiny town of [[yulora|Yulora]]. You watch in awe as he shapes the snow around him with the help of a magic gem. | The [[arcazion_tunnels|Arcazion Tunnels]] are full of twists and turns. As your party makes their way into the depth, [[yalaka|Yalaka]] blocks your path. Your eyes are drawn to hers as you feel the sensation of falling into a deep pit. |

| If you chose to commune with the [[leviathan|leviathan]] earlier, [[kayok_the_slipperyquick|Kayok the Slipperyquick]] is aware of your choice. Using an open stone, he summons the shape of the [[leviathan|leviathan]] from the nearby snow and tosses the snow into its maw. You leap into its mouth and retrieve the stone. | |
| | |
| If, instead, you had received a blessing from the priestess, [[kayok_the_slipperyquick|Kayok]] holds up an already opened stone. Summoning the form of [[shissatissk|Shissatissk]], he tosses the stone into the icy water. You dive in and retrieve it quickly. | |
| |
| With the stone in your possession, [[kayok_the_slipperyquick|Kayok]] challenges you to learn more about gemstone magic. | Preparing to attack, she raises her hands defensively. |

| * Speak your name to the stone and bond with it for eternity. | * Agree to serve the Goddess of Nightmares. You are surrounded by nightmarish visions. But they are not here to torment you. They are at your command. |
| * Ask the stone to close itself. You vow to continue studying and shaping stones. | * Attempt to use the rod to trap her in the caverns. She begs for your compassion as the cavern collapses around her, trapping her in the rubble just as you had found her. |
| |
| You have finally achieved the knowledge you sought. Your quest has come to an end. | Your quest may be complete, but the [[heroes_guild|Heroes Guild]] is still in need of your help. |
