So Vecna does have something to do with both of them ending up in that mysterious place after all. The strange creature seems like an intelligent being and might not be a threat unless provoked.
Deducing that both of them are dealing with something from the arcane realm, Halgrath turns to look at Kron. Perhaps his knowledge in arcane magic might help them to get some information as how to escape or how to understand the cryptic warning message from Vecna.
