Skolex, the insatiable predator

With the Mausoleum of the First now vulnerable, Devourers flock in to satisfy their hunger. Among these abominations is the insatiable Skolex. The giant worm devours enormous amounts of ephemera, upsetting the balance of the mausoleum and threatening to cause a collapse.

Lords of Terror

With cunning and guile, the Nathrezim have worked for eons to implement the Dungeon Master's plan. Now their master is on the verge of victory, and they have only one last task to complete to ensure that no one opposes the new order of the cosmos. Rygelon the Observer Source: Blizzard
