''The party sighted land from the ship, met the mysterious mineworker [[Snag-ool]], toured a strange town, and discovered a passage within a ruin that led to an ambush in the caverns below. They fought their erstwhile ally, Snag-ool, and the town's [[Races#Lycanthropes|lycanthrope]] mayor, [[Abraham Pelz]], beneath this ruin and almost were obliterated by the strange magical blast of Snag-ool.''

The morning after the last session, the crew met in the meeting room of the vessel. Above, a member of the crew sighted land, shrouded in mist. [[Syve Draifly]], Anubis, and Nyx volunteered themselves to scout out the shores, while Whiskey Bob ordered Hythlodaeus and Roderick to accompany the party. Before the boat departed, Whiskey Bob told the crew to be back in the next 24 hours.

The crew and Syve travelled on a dinghy through the mysterious fog and landed on the docks of a small community. They met the tall human Abraham Pelz, and his mysterious gnome companion, [[Snag-ool]], an aged mine worker with a hunk of spellstone lodged in his head. As mayor of the community, Pelz welcomed the crew to the town of Rugenburg, and told the crew that it was founded as a community for Helskari artists and freethinkers to live free from the stifling social hierarchy of the Helsingfyrd Pact. He told the crew to check out the weekly market that was currently ongoing outside of the town walls. He seemed surprised that the crew was not heading to the nearby abandoned spellstone mines, and he told them to not visit the mine, due to the dangers and lost technologies, before inviting the crew to the festival and the inn.

The town seemed misty, ramshackle, and almost abandoned as the crew walked through it towards the festival, accompanied by Snag-ool and Pelz, who told the crew about the town's ancient origins. They then met some odd local figures such as [[Baron Ruben Hogwallow]], a resentful local halfling farmer who claimed to be rightful heir of the town, but was cheated out by the King of Callow. He also mentioned [[Practicant Liona]], who disappeared towards the mines under mysterious circumstances. Nyx took a lute from a local vendor.

The crew then approached an abandoned, half-flooded fort. They explored this fort which seemed long-abandoned and ruined. As the sun set, they realized Snag-ool was missing. The party tried to find him, and dug through the ruins, passing by some strangely contemporary chests and gear. The party eventually stumbled upon a deep vertical hole within the ruins.

The tunnel cut through multiple layers of ruins, and as theparty traversed down the tunnel via rope, they saw evidence of primordial earthquakes, and an ancient hieroglyphic mural of humanoids giving an offering to a strange techno-mechanical figure.The party reached a cave at the bottom of the tunnel and was confronted with a hostile Snag-ool, who reshaped the earth with his magic and attempted to kill the party using aberrant mind mining-themed sorcery. Abraham Pelz, in the form of a werewolf, also was hiding at the bottom of the tunnel. He attacked the party.

The party quickly immobilized Pelz, and then focused on Snag-ool, who was sitting back, slinging spells.Shortly before Snag-ool died, he destroyed the spellstone lodged in his head, releasing a lightning bolt spell that hit the whole party, as well as Pelz, killing Pelz and Snag-ool, and wounding the entire party. The party then found the corpse of Practicant Liona at the bottom of the cave, with a final letter on it that hinted that they were not alone, haunted by other lycanthrope(s).
