Now isolated Inar attempts to find a way out from his new predicament. While he searches Mira comes to talk with him. It isn't long before Refle looses patience and threatens Inar while also  showing him the way out.  Inar tries to convince the children he and Delta team are here to help them. Sadly, his council falls on deaf ears. Inar leaves and finds himself in the entrance hall of House De Vida quickly spotting  Izebi and Sabine. Events take a turn for the worse as the children attack Inar trying to push him off a balcony. The sounds of the ensuing battle are heard by the other members of the team. Ozmitt, Logan, and Eugene rush into to help just as the children are making their escape. This leaves the party with amply time to devise a new plan. Based on the knowledge they have it seems wise to continue to play the "game" the children have set up. Venturing further into the manor the party finds traps, treasure, and a set of research notes. The notes describe a set of experiments performed on the children with the main goal of halting the ageing process. Advancing further they find an ominous set of stairs leading down. Logan is convinced they will find the evil scientist who performed the experiments there. As all who do evil do so under ground.

Our heroes continue to venture further into the mansion where they find nothing but darkness. Someone or something has obscured their path forward.  Before they have time to formulate a solid plan they are attacked by nightmarish creatures.  After dispelling the darkness they discover they are in a children's play room and find some clues about Fenris.  Continuing forward they find them selves trapped in a similar scenario. As the darkness recedes they find them selves in a dinning room with an odd choice of guests. Not wanting to visit the darkness a third time Oz and Eugene try to climb up to an elevated walk way. As they almost reach the top of their rope they are greeted by a crossbow held by a Drow boy.  The boy is Refle and he seems to think this is all a game. He warns them to get back down and not cheat anymore.  A small argument ensues and Mira pulls Refle away from the party. Everyone climbs up and tries to follow them but another magic barrier stops all but Inar form entering. On the other side Inar sees the children throwing large hunks of something to a shadowy silhouette. Each time it hops to catch its food. When it lands the whole room shakes. 

Following the incident of the near fatal fall of Inar and Eugene the party decides to look for information in and out of the mansion. While they look for clues they discover several children's drawing which paint an unsettling picture of events involving  two Drow children. The grounds appear abandoned, evidence Inar collects suggests everyone left in a hurry. During this time Izbei notices a small girl hiding and tries to befriend her. With Oz and Sabine's help she is successful. The girl (Mira) seems frightened of something and they party is able to get very little information from her. She speaks of a mysterious man she calls Papa and her brother Refle.  Logan moves ahead to investigate the garden of the estate. Its here he discovers a dead body.  When he returns to warn his friends Mira disappears without a trace. Stifling their fear and concern for Mira the party moves to look for more clues. Ozmitt demonstrates a new power which helps them collect more information. Izbei follows suit with a new power of her own. The party does one more search of the area collecting more drawings. Something terrible happened or is happening here and everyone is determined to stop it and help the children.  Satisfied that the search is complete they move into the manor. Inside Delta team discovers a grandiose display of wealth decimated by time. As they venture further in they discover a barrier at the threshold of a door. Oz, Logan, and Inar enter first and as Sabine goes to join them she discovers she can't. Separated from their friends Euegene, Sabine, and Izbei try everything to reach them, but all they hear is silence. 

After receiving their reward from past adventures the party decides to help Inar in his quest for better armor. Logan leads the team to the Fowl Anvil where SnowGar (the owner) agrees to their lucrative proposal. From there the party decides to investigate some rumors about a savage attack on the neighboring Lake town. Its there that they bump into Nilo Nara (Commander of the Hornets) and determine that Nantuk were responsible for the attack. Logan announces his strong desire to help and Nilo convinces him not to do anything hasty. He promises Delta team can help solve this mystery once he's had more time to collect information. After tending to the sick and injured Oz, Izbei, and Eugene learn about some strange events that happen just before the attack. It is likely that Fenrus was involved in some way but many things are still unclear. With this new information the party returns to the Harpy's Base (Rise of Claws) to collect their paper work for entering De Vida Manor. They do so and enter the estate. The atmosphere is tense while the party tries to enter the mansion they come to a disturbing revelation. The are not alone. Someone or thing else is with them and it is not friendly. 

This is the tale of how one of our great heroes (Sabine Cadash) found her way to the grand wooden table where our story began.  It has everything a good adventure should: money, death, booze, but most importantly battle axes and babes.

Having survived an attack from someone who could potentially be a god. The party returns to their base in Mole Hole to recuperate. In the morning a half-orc named Bido stops by to deliver a letter. He mistakes Inar for Gaunim (which never happens to him again). The party makes their way back to Omi-Repair. Outside of it is a boy named Reaper, who is there to act as an intermediary for Grimm. The party updates Reaper and enters the base to find it empty. Volk and Ficstar are no where to be found which is unusual but the party has returned to claim a prized box which should contain spoils from another adventure. A quick search turns up nothing. This prompts the party to investigate and learn a bit more about their new jobs and the owner of this guild.  Logan uses  his memory to switch the location of the Anything Room to Ficstar's private office. In the surprisingly lavish and well kept room are a number of discoveries that paint an interesting picture about the guild's owner. Unfortunately it leaves the party with more questions than answers as they return. Still not having found the box, Inar contacts Volk and discovers the means to summon the box. Inside they find their treasures and a note from the Grand Archivist (Stylus Kettleborn).

The party ventures back to Molehole following Logan to the secret temple of monks from The Way Forward. He brings their leader (Omg) the requested proof the Nantook.  Logan is rewarded with a piece of his tribes history and one of their powerful artifacts. As Delta Team is making future plans with the monks and  for themselves a typhoon of wind and thunder crashes through the  temple. Standing in the center of it all is a man who is a mountain of muscle. His white hair and blues eyes thrash wildly looking for something. That something is Logan StormBlessed. Before anyone has a moment to think the unknown man rushes to Logan, grabs him, and dashes out of the temple. It is clear his intentions are violent as he leaps from the mouth of the cave locked in combat with Logan. They demolish twelve floors of housing before finally crashing to the ground. As the rest of Delta team rushes to Logan's aid Serendipity smiles on Logan. Breaking through what was left of the house is Sabine. She is caught up on recent events as Gaunim is empowered by his god (Branseal) but at a cost. The rest of the party dives down to Logan's aid (except for Izbei who takes the stairs). During the fight Logan recognizes this individual from his people's legends. It is Egar the second son of their god and the manifestation of anger's strength. Something causes this Egar to run and and the party collects themselves and decides what to do. Eugene and Izbei are visited by the consequences of previous decisions and everyone returns to their home base to decide what to do next.  

The party departs for Loakeran forest to help Oz with a personal matter. On the way they face a great many dangers and enjoy simple adventures. After 9 long days of travel they finally reach Muckneck Bog the domain of Auntie the witch. It is here that they learn more about Oz's past. Auntie gives each of them an ominous tip after the party proves themselves worthy. The party heads back to NightVeil hoping to see the return of Sabine. 

Oz and Gaunim return and describe an encounter with an old lady and the creepy manor they found in EverGarden.  The party agrees that they should investigate more and end up in a tavern called the Smiling Lark. Messing with the ivy in the tavern leads to a chance meeting with a half orc who fills the party in about current events and the history of the manor and the family that lived there (De Vida).  The owners of the tavern Finch and Canary offer Delta Team some side work which they turn down. Returning to the manor the party finds themselves on the wrong side of the law. Logan distracts the law while the party tries to enter the manor. Overcoming magical wards protecting the gate the party is able to enter.  Eugene uses magical means to confirm that the pact spheres they are looking for is somewhere in the manor. 

Logan evades the his pursuers only to fall into the magical clutches of Quill, captain of the Harpies. Their brief exchange sets up a rivalry that will last a life time. Quill returns with Logan to the manor and attempts to evict them from the property. Tensions get worse as Quill threatens the party and Gaunim loses his temper at the gross misuse of authority.  Eugene follows Quill to fill out the paper work necessary to get them into De Vida Manor.  Returning to the base Logan sees some of the furniture has been upgraded but he begins to pack his things. After an emotional conversation everyone agrees to take a trip to help Ozmitt with personal business. 

The party stumbles in on a meeting between Volk and the GrimmLocks. After some rough housing and malicious verbal exchanges the party learns more about the mercenary groups work and Volk's bad habits. Ficstar appears to give them their next job. Apparently the matriarch of the second noble family of NightVeil (the De Vida) has lost an important pearl necklace and one of her servants saw the thieves in action. It was likely the Jade Nimbee faction of the thieves guild whose base is located in a place called EverGarden.

The party decides to go shopping before traveling to this new location. Izbei buys potions from a sleepy dwarf. Eugene visits Silvia. Logan finds his way to a temple of the Way Forward looking for artifacts of his people. Oz and Gaunim make for Evergarden by way of the Quill district.  They find what they are looking for De Vida manor. It is a scary sight.
