Having been kicked out of the Blushing Mermaid, the group moved on to the Trades District to a place called the Bowels of the Earth, first briefly stopping by a temple to get Don's charisma damage healed. Yuri (Winter Wolf), Don the Magnifiscent (Human Bard), and Corrail (Half-elf Ranger) went off to visit Corrail's father. The animals were becoming more unsettled and there seemed to be signs that something strange was about to happen.
Felix (Half-elf rogue/druid), tiger (whose name I forget), Elrick (human alchemist-barbarian), Ally (gnome sorceress), and Zirul (Half-elf cleric) went on to the Bowels with Marlowe (their guide). Felix was happy to find a fellow shadowthief there, who directed him on how to get a backroom for the night. Therein, the party slept except for the alchemist who stayed up brewing potions.
Corrail found his father before reaching the flat. He seemed to be sneaking back in the direction of the tavern. Corrail followed him, catching him, while he sent the other two back the other way. His father knew him (surprisingly, after the contract demon) and knew of his adventures. There was a greeting and his father lead him back to the Bowels.
There, Corrail's father called up the local braggart, a fellow named Mirt, who seemed to quickly sober. He flipped something out in front of the bartender with a bit of gold and got a key for another of the back rooms. There the three met and talked. Mirt and Corrail's father flipped out their symbols for the Harpers on the table and told Corrail of their group and how he was know going to be their messenger. Corrail was flipped out the similar symbol he had found in his mother's locket. They told him to keep it a secret and that something was going to happen soon, under this night of the full moon. If anything happened tonight, get out of the city, otherwise meet them in the morning in the market. Make way to the Sword Mountains and find a group of gnomes to help if things go wrong.
Don came back to the tavern, got a room, and found a weasel to sacrifice for Cthulu on the night of the full moon.
Morning came and Felix fixed some breakfast. An earthquake hit as the countdown time struck zero. The group decided to stay together, though Marlowe took off with the wagon, nearly getting away with their treasure, and all the horses were gone. (Only the war camel remained).
They teleported (wand of teleport group, 3 charges) to the marketplace. The earth was still shaking. Corrail found his father. In the distance, buildings could be seen falling through great rifts in the ground. A shadow fell over the market as a Froghemoth appeared over the party.
