Press *4642 on West panel.  Door opens.  Other puzzles disappear.  We enter and door is gone.  "V" shape appears.  All but Beari hear chittering noise again.  A finds mouth on the wall making the sound.  Move along and see light ahead.
Huge cavern w/ glowing ciling. More terrorists are there to meet us.  35' up to top.  Skeletons are hearding beasties on terrorists - that'll show them!

We decide to try to fly over again.  Cast Mass Fly at 12:10.  See the skeletons all have a v-shaped piece of wood inside their ribcage.
Ben turns - 3 skeletons are dusted - the other 3 remain.  F shoots at skeletons.  A enocourages Ben to take care of skeletons  S -> Ben; S-> A; S-> Ben.
Skeleton loves A so much he misses him all the time.  Ben turns - skeletons are dusted.
We have six V-shaped pieces of wood.  A says we try the door.
12:50 Doesn't work - Vs disintegrate.  we need to find a V with holes in it. We fly over all the terrorists and try to see a V with holes - grid pattern in effect.
13:10 Ben finds Skeleton with piece - turn it, A retrieves - we go to door.
We have the 2nd Key, Re-enter octogon room and  choose next door.

1:45 Northeast Door
L-shaped glowing opening appears in door shield.  40' in we hear shouted gibberish.  A finds Magic Mouths.
It's dark - A sees humanoid in black armor with sword - A sneaks up.
Advance - all spot - he has both legs so he probably won't bite our ankles
A tries to speak to it - no response - we babble in all our known languages - no response.
A attempts to tumble pass with Z ready to fight if need.
A is stuck inside a giant jello mold - ICK !  - slam or engulf; acid
Beari casts Sunburst - A is blind - Gelationus Cube takes lots of damage.
Ben casts <something> GC dies.  A falls out; Ben cures blindness
A searches armor for traps and such
GC-2 engulfs Beari and F.  Beari casts Blink, escapes GC is hit by Beari and Z - dies; F is temporarily paralyzed.
We continue on - Z carries F like a hunk of meat 'til she is ok

We fly in carefuly to scout; find an Umber Hulk; all save against its gaze
Tremosense, Fast movement, claw/claw/bite; Confusing Gays - they say they like you when they don't.
F is confused and attacks Beari ("What the hell, F?").  UH tries to gaze at A, fails.  Beari moves away from F, casts Cold Orb. Z attacks UH - she leaps about!  A assesses UH damage, decides to slap F and try to unconfuse her.
F is confused and attacks A.  A slaps her again.  Ben casts Searing Light on UH, kills it.
Ben and Beari look to corner / watch UH body.
A smacks F again and then hides in her shadow.  They keep smacking each other for 8 more rounds.  Critical smackies ! F finally comes back to full consciousness.
