Nyther and Urgack convinced Bilal to allow them to compete in the games commemorating Kalak's Ziggurat. The two of them, battled three intense rounds and made their way through stiff competition. The thri-kreen was not liked much by the crowd but the half-giant, his haka dances and brute force quickly enamored himself to all those watching.

Attempting to escape the stadium the group, and some followers they had impressed headed for the ledge leading down and hopefully out. They noticed some had tied some clothing together and attempted to climb down but the improvised rope was not long enough. Adding their own clothing they soon had a rope long enough.

As they began to fasten this new rope they were struck by magical energy from the ziggurat. This attack weakened them, and the sick and elderly around them succumbed to the magic and died.

When they began to climb down they insisted on going first and soon their followers began to fight to get down. Allegedly Magnamus used his psychic stomp to force them off resulting in many deaths.

At the bottom they found no way out as the massive stone gates were sealed shut.
