Clint made it safely to the top of Pillar 2. The party waited expectantly for more attacks but no further menace appeared. After waiting a few moments, Clint was able to recover from the effects of the magical fear.
Banjo cast Detect Magic but he did not detect any.
Further examination of the room revealed some interesting details but prompted more questions. A large shaft leading up in ceiling above pillar 3 appears to have once available. The shaft appears to have suffered a collapse and is now mostly blocked. Air still flows from the opening but it does not appear that anything but a tiny creature could navigate it now. The floor of the chamber is covered in only a foot of water. It flows in from the north, exit side, and exists from the south, entrance side. The bones of a beholder lay in the water near the base of pillar 3. The remains of two more of the lurking stranglers are also found.
Once the party traveled to pillar 3 they were able to examine the rope. The rope appeared to be in good condition but it had been cut from the north side. Using teamwork, the party was able to navigate across the room and ascend the rope ladder on pillar 4.
