Very to the point, V.

And Vaarsuvius demonstrates exactly why Rich usually keeps him/her/it/other out of the fray.

Because it's hard to generate plausible threats to the party while V is present?

Because Wizard is why. And that despite V being a primary blaster.

I'm guessing Vaarsuvius will solve this somehow.

Called it.

Bear in mind that he hasn't officially solved it yet; he's just blasted some more mooks and made it difficult/impossible for them to engage in melee for a while.

That said, it wouldn't particularly surprise me if their way out involved a wizard spell.

It's a shame s/he can't teleport, that's all I'll say.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

hmm... I wonder if Tarquin's recent comments about Xykon being a sub-boss count as "pride before the fall". Particularily considering how underestimating X is correlated to bad things happening afterwards

(I also wonder if his comeuppance will be being brough down by him, both in the sense that it establishes HIM as the sub-boss, and that a chaotic character is the one beating him)

Annd context. Tarquin is clearly playing their strings here, but he has still just lost his son. His webs are going to be a little tangled.

Durkon might summon some sort of giant creature to get them out! (He is considerably more awesome now that he's a vampire after all. :P)

That said I'm gonna go with the long bet that the Paladins port in to save them. They did know that Xykon was on the way there after all, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them all show up expecting a Xykon battle only to end up engaging with Tarquin and offering our heroes a way out.

And when exactly did they figure out where the pyramid actually is?

Didn't he already use up his spells? Then again, now that they have a defensive buffer, he could theoretically use the time to pray for an extra spell or two, if I read the cleric spell-preparation rules right, unless Thor's religious practices require it at dawn(and, it being reversed by Durkon's vampirism, now dusk).

I don't think they ever resurrected that wizard that took them to Cliffport ;).

And when exactly did they figure out where the pyramid actually is?
Hinjo's spellcasters managed a Sending just before the gate was destroyed, which, since it allows a reply, they could have easily told them exactly where Windy Cave was. Or at least the general location, which they could probably use to scry the exact position(the anti-scrying spells probably have faded since the Draketooths were wiped out).

Yeah, he just said that he is all out of spells, and that he will get them all back at dusk.
