Beegred pipes in helpfully. "She was talking about banning many orgies. Although she got confused, and said "orgy much bane".
"For some reason, bringing back the remains of a freshly destroyed earth elemental was mentioned too. That sounds easier than doing the first thing she said."

Nomi points to Beegred, "This one's undercommon is all backwards."
Then answering Rodolfo, "Bring me freshly destroyed corrupted earth elementals. Preferably those you know with utmost certainty have been touched by Ogremoch's Bane. The stronger the elemental and the larger the piece you bring back, the more I will offer. Once I can study these pieces, I hope to find an answer to repel Ogremoch's Bane or to make our elementals immune to it's corrupting influence."
Nomi answers, "In the early days, we lost control of many elementals. Some of those were left behind in the Rockblight, as we fled for our lives. Since then, most of the elementals that have been corrupted have been forced out of Blingdenstone into the surroundings."
Rodolfo says, "Right, let us start with Rockblight then."
He'll guide the others to the door and request a passage through. Upon entering he'll explain the lay of the lands (would be helpful if we got another map posted) and what they have encountered thus far.
Rodolfo will lead the group to the Menhir (area 22) by suggesting it to Beegred to take the lead. "Lets see first about what's become of the menhir. And then I believe we should head to the waterfall."

(If there are no objections, Beegred will scout ahead of the group a short distance, then come back to report.)

As the group discusses the plan with Nomi, Grithik feels well out of his depth and excuses himself to quieter corner of the inn. He opens his tome, placing it on the floor as he begins to draw arcane symbol with his finger in the air, occasionally looking down to reference the book, which still appears blank. Soon the scent of burning incense and herbs fill the room as the ritual continues.
This continues for quite awhile, before there is a faint crack and a grey-blue bat with a very faint silvery glow appears on his shoulder. He reaches up and scratches the small creature with his forefinger on the back of its head. "Welcome back, Rory. It is good to see you friend. I think the time has come again where your services might be useful." He collects his things before returning to the group, bat still perched on his shoulder.
Beegred, aside to Grithnik: "They serve food at the inn. You didn't have to use magic to summon your dinner."

You take your party back into the Rockblight. Beegred travels south (into area 17) and the faint sounds of battle can once again be heard. Beegred navigates a direct route to the menhir (through area 19 to get to area 22). The space is currently empty and silent, save for the two stone spheres, Galeb Duhr in their dormant state, and a third pile of stone in the vague shape of a humanoid.
Your party leaves the menhir (area 22) and heads south between the grotto to the Medusa's lair and grotto to the petrified drow army to get to the waterfall (area 18).
Edit: Repeating the description for this room:
A shallow, swiftly flowing stream bisects this cave. Crystalline formations sprout from the floor on both sides of the stream, and rough-hewn staircases at the back of the cave climb 30 feet to a barren stone ledge with a pair of winged statues perched atop it.
Rodolfo pulls out his wand and motions up the stairs to the cave. Orubis stays one step ahead of Rodolfo, holding his shield defensively. Once at the top of the steps, Rodolfo takes a good look at the gargoyle statue on the shelf at the back of the cave and holds out his wand...
(Situation: Rodolfo has just flung a glob at one of the statues, but missed. Everyone else is watching and have no evidence those gargoyles are anything more than just statues.)
Rodolfo asks, "So what do you want us to do?"
Beegred pipes in helpfully. "She was talking about banning many orgies. Although she got confused, and said "orgy much bane".
"For some reason, bringing back the remains of a freshly destroyed earth elemental was mentioned too. That sounds easier than doing the first thing she said."

Rodolfo asks, "And near the menhir is still the best place for these, right?"
Rodolfo says to the others, "We know the way and we have fought a few. Lets go clear up some more of that area then."
(if Nomi confirms it then Rodolfo will lead the group to the whatever area where the medusa and menhir were in)

Rodolfo says, "Ok, so things haven't changed. Lets check out the waterfall next."
Orubis looks towards the sound of the fighting. “What’s that?” He’ll follow where the others lead though.
Paladin - warforged - orange
Rodolfo says, "Oh yeah.. it's weird. We also saw a ghost here. And the room with petrified yet activating drow fighters is even weirder."
Your party leaves the menhir (area 22) and heads south between the grotto to the Medusa's lair and grotto to the petrified drow army to get to the waterfall (area 18).

Rodolfo says, "Ok, so I have this wand here and it's been helpful before."
He pulls out his Wand of Viscid Globs and points it at the closest winged status. "One way to find out if it's alive or not."
He takes aim and tries to shoot a glob at it: 20
Rodolfo says, "Oh, I forgot, we have to go through the waterfall first! Not to worry, just step through it!"
He will go up the initial stairs and through the waterfall. If nothing else happens, he'll position at about J8.
Rodolfo pulls out his wand and motions up the stairs to the cave. Orubis stays one step ahead of Rodolfo, holding his shield defensively. Once at the top of the steps, Rodolfo takes a good look at the gargoyle statue on the shelf at the back of the cave and holds out his wand...
