Your icy greaves and silvery axe are in the room that the
train most likely started in ;) Don't know about the Tome of the Wheel.

Not too sure where you were fighting. You said near the preist, do
you mean the preacher room? never seen a train come through there. If you
were near the flag room, I know what happened. Some group (or solo artist)
was trying the king room and brought the train with him. One thing you want
to tell your group (assuming you're fighting in the flag room) is go into
the little alcove near the far right hand side of that room. Then start up
your invis song, and wait out the train. This isn't a guaranteed solution,
on occasions, depending on the train they might see through your invis, but
it's worked for me far more often than not.
