A strange memory fills your mind as you advance down the passage towards the circular tunnel network that loops back upon itself around the Cauldron. An ancient vision of eternity and renewal... a serpent, devouring its own tail...
Perhaps the Stranded Sons were bound to this Serpent by the Magus somehow. They could not leave until his tunnelling project, his great subsurface depthscraper, was completed... But the Magus betrayed them. The project was abandoned, left unfinished, and the Great Wyrm devoured all that remained.
Could the unstoppable power of the Great Wyrm be turned against itself somehow? Make the Serpent destroy itself? But to do so you would have to lure it here... the Devouring Serpent knows the layout of these tunnels - it created them after all. Perhaps there is some way to call it to the Cauldron, either by finding and placing a particularly powerful magical artifact within it, or sacrificing a magic user upon it?
