The Heroes regroup, and manage to go through the stone doors. After avoiding a few traps, they find several acolytes of the Leaning Pillar plotting nefariously. It seems that the Leaning Pillar is helping Qin invading Zhao, hoping the chaos generated by the war will help them resurrecting their dark god.
The Heroes also glean that the whole mountain they're exploring is actually one of the Pillars of Heaven that fell to the mortal realm. The dark acolytes use shards of this stone to recognize each other. The party moves in, and faces the cultists, and the animated statue they're adoring. After defeating them, and destroying the statue, the Heroes capture one of them, learning that the Leaning Pillar has also stolen the Eyes of Father Naga, broken them into pieces, and sent them to different places in the Warring States.
The Heroes leave the compound, but not before having found several scrolls descibing the method to cure the weird curse affecting the miners.
Back in Sleepy Rock, they find the town occupied by the Qin Army. They deliver the cure, which seems to have positive results, and then depart after a few days, reaching a bigger town to the North, on their way to their next adventure.
