We continued deeper into the temple. Several of our members sacrificed rather a lot of blood to get through a trapped hallway, then a cursed statue gave most of us bloodlust and we had to do some hiding & restraining to make it through.
After a good night's rest, we went into the cursed statue and discovered an altar, which gave us another vision of Ilixian, saying that he was trapped in a drowned city and ruidium miners were stealing his light. Just then, the Happy Adventurers wandered in and revealed that Aloysia had hired them to explore the place as well. She then ordered them to attack us and steal the now-awakened amulet, but they chose to side with us instead. She summoned a trio of Earth Elementals, ran, and caved in the exit.
We defeated the elementals pretty handily, thanks to having rested recently, and didn't have much trouble digging our way out.
