How does Fence get out of the pit flea trap? What is it with these teether balls from hell? What is Tharivol doing with a statue of Ra? Isn't Tharivol a follower of Loki? And Mark gets a last name and falls down some more steps.... What's not to like?

Claren, Crenshaw, Fence, Tharivol, Mouse Field Mouse, and Mark descend the muck covered stairs into a room with a sun column and reflective tiles on its walls. There are six exits....

The party descends the stairs into a room filled with rotting garbage and muck. The last step into the room is a mimic disguised as the stairs.... and the fun in the muck just goes from there!!!!

The remaining bandit captain, Claw flees past Mouse Field, Mouse. He is pursued by Fence, and then slain in combat with Claren, Crenshaw, and Fence. The party discovers....

The party continued their fight with the “bear bandits.” After pushing into the Sun Lord’s Crypt, our heroes come face to face with a half dozen bandits, a bear, and their leaders–the brothers “Bear” and “Claw.”

Our heroes traveled east from Ward into the mountains around Lake Skaladium. They crossed Lake Blanc in a dwarven paddlewheel steamer and found themselves on the eastern edge of the Isk-Dan in the fertile hill country known as “Between the Lakes.”

The party visits Siddharth Two Moons Animal Emporium. Sid has something awaiting for Tharivol.... While they avoid The Lost Wolf Tavern and Inn, because they do not want to see Yanze Mukherjee yet. They do return to the Lunar Academy, and their conversation with Dean Gea Haunting reveals connections about Claren's past..... and a new quest to avenge the wrongs done to Claren!!!

After returning to Ward, Fence, Crenshaw, Claren, Tharivol, and Mouse, Field Mouse make their way to the Lunar Academy for a meeting with Dean Gea Haunting. Mick parts ways with his companions at the entrance to the Academy–he’s off to wander the streets and canals of Ward, to sing, and to listen for rumors to share with Crenshaw. 

As Fence, Crenshaw, Mick, Claren, Tharivol, and Mouse, Field Mouse return to Ward on the Sojourner, they try to figure out what happened down in the Temple Pit on Mistcutter Isle. Crenshaw and Mouse, Field Mouse tear through the six volume Abridged History of Magic....

Battling across (1) a vestibule of the Elemental Plane of Water, (2) the outcrop of the Shadowfell, and (3) a strangely flat world with little sensory input, our heroes recognize that their opponent was an aboleth.

The chaos of multidimensional combat rolls around Fence, Mouse, Field Mouse, Crenshaw, Mick, Claren, and Tharivol….

A mysterious wizard in purple robes, Saben perhaps? Appears and then disappears….
