Plot: Climax (Where is the story going?)

The challenge waits for party 5, with promotion in sight. I'm the portal and its keeper, step thru you marked by your sender and only as a party of 1 can you complete me on your feet.

The sphinx cosmos gate stands before you and death behind you, as you 5 steps thru you see a sign and riddle.

Travelers of 5, thirteen you must face, though only 3 are primes I would wait a minute and not make haste.
2 of Earth, fire, air, the 4 guard your prize in a molten place. (riddle 1 0f 26)

the sign reads.

You have a day upon each floor, if 3 dies the remaining 2 will port.

On the wall are 13 blades of different cast and make, but only 3 makes the Embalming take (riddle 2 of 26)

solve this and pass the day.
