There have been some changes in the makeup of the group:
- Salla has left to find his relations in his homeland and has left the group permanently.
- Sonja went on a leave of absence during the break, but has returned. However, something has clearly happened to her, as she will not look Alastriel in the eye.
- Serro has returned from trip to the Lucky Monkey accompanied by a new member of the Lords of Chaos: Danielle the Dandelion - a druid from a nearby grove.
- Alastriel has taken on an assitant, a dropout from the Bluecrater Academy. His name is Symon Deadwood.
- Two hirelings have been added to the ranks of the L.O.C. Alfir and Gunleif, Ivinian cousins come to Cauldron in hope of winning fortune and glory.
Today, after an afternoon performance by Serro at the Slippery Eel Tavern, the party witnesses the emergence of a large creature from one of Maavu's warehouses. The bug-like beast lumbers through the crowds on the street, seemingly bent on causing massive destruction to the buildings in the area. To make matters worse, those who come under the gaze of the creature become confused and forget what they were doing.
The Lords of Chaos attempt to defeat the monster, averting their eyes when possible to avoid being confused. They are aided at various points by the city watch. At one point, Alfir saves a baby which fell from a window in the top floor of the inn. Kyladrian is confused during most of the battle and manages to build a campfire fire from scratch in the middle of the bedlam.
Just before the creature is vanquished, a group of gnomes show up and begin casting spells. However, the job is nearly done at this point and it's just mop up work from here. The gnomes are part of an organization called the Magical Threats Agency. After more of the guard shows up to take care of cordoning off the area, the party does a bit more investigation in the area around where the creature bursted from the ground. There is some evidence of runes on the ground in the wreckage, possibly indicating a summoning circle, but it's impossible to know for sure.
The party is told that they will be contacted later if their assistance is needed.
