Chapter 32 Summary
The group hurries up the Great Stair as ghosts rise after them. Jorg turns around and commands the spirits to die. He sees them erupt in pale flames, and then he rushes up after Makin and the rest.
When the group collapses to rest, Makin asks Jorg what his plan is for the Castle Red, where 900 veterans await them. Jorg answers that he thinks he’ll find what he needs in the under-vaults of the castle.
At the top of the stairs, they emerge into another Builder complex. Jorg orients himself from one of the maps he studied and leads them to a massive vault door, which he does not know how to open.
Chapter 33 Summary
Jorg puzzles over how to get through the door while the others grow impatient. He notices a section of wall that feels odd, and he has Gorgoth bash and peel it open. Jorg is disappointed to find an empty chamber behind the wall and begins to get frustrated.
As he reaches into the chamber, a disembodied voice begins to speak and asks him for a password. Jorg tries to engage the voice, asking how long the “spirit” has been trapped. It answers that it has been there for over 1,100 years.
