Lump, Clancy, and Sylix make their way underground in search of the Slow Sledge to Plankton Downs, clashing with a resident known as the Fair Evolutionist, who takes a personal disliking to one of the party members. Soon after, they meet a group known as the Toil Pilgrims and are taken to the Plaza of Pondering, where the sledge terminus is located. After purchasing some refreshments, the party once again finds themselves in a fight – this time with the Repurposed Augmented Thugs Guild.
