Using magic and intuition, they locate their friend, and Rhyia persuades the mimic to release him. After resting and befriending the creature, they proceed with their mission.

The adventurers descend into an underground kingdom of Blackstone, where they encounter a divided society of Tieflings and Aasimar, and learn of the kingdom’s tyrannical past under King Mahakar. After reuniting with Minerva, they uncover disturbing secrets, including the identity of Seraphim, and are thrust into a high-speed chase involving a mysterious figure, leading to a refuge at Zarasha’s tavern. That night, the group’s nightmares grow worse, with Minerva’s dream of her parents’ death becoming a painful reality.
The group discovers a mysterious book containing the soul of a demon, Varian, who sought to reunite with his lost love, an angel. They confront Seraphim, a powerful emissary, in a fierce battle at a garden within the mountain. After defeating her, they uncover the secrets of the garden, revealing a hidden kingdom, Nocturna, and a bond between Varian and the Raven Queen’s angelic servant.
The group confined Casimir for now and, after a heart-to-heart with Valsali, Cecie embraced her past as an assassin. They informed Neles about the bandits and demon involvement, but he dismissed their concerns. As bandits led by Seraphim attacked, a battle ensued, and Seraphim revealed herself as a tiefling emissary demanding a book. After a lightning strike, the group discovered the book hidden beneath a prairie rock, with a cryptic note from someone named L.
The group returned Susanna’s body to her grieving parents, who prepared a pyre to honor her spirit. Her father, reading a blood-marked book she left behind, uncovered their tormentor: Cyric, the Mother of Deceit, whose followers manipulate sorrow and craft vessels for a demon lord’s return. Cyric, once the Raven Queen’s twin, fell from grace in her jealous pursuit of power. Haunted by these revelations, the group rested uneasily at Caz’s home, torn between seeking justice or protecting him, while the creeping corruption of Cyric’s influence lingered in their dreams.
In the caverns of Blackstone, Valsali met Cecie Cotton, a resilient halfling miner who, despite her doubts, helped him evade Bullseye Jack with her expert knowledge of the caves. Reuniting with the party, they discovered a mysterious garden atop a towering blackstone pillar, split into halves of crimson and white flora. As they examined an ancient gazebo, venomous centipedes attacked, forcing a harrowing retreat down a spiraling staircase. Though they narrowly escaped, their reprieve was brief as Bullseye Jack and a cloaked, commanding figure ambushed them, setting the stage for a fateful battle.
The adventurers faced the possessed carnotaurus, its tortured form driven by a dark force. After a desperate battle, they defeated the beast, uncovering the tragic loss of her stolen eggs. Venturing deeper into the cave, they found an ancient tomb where Rhyia’s necklace revealed a haunting vision of a mutilated elven woman. Examining the corpse on the altar, they discovered glowing runes, a missing heart, and sinister artifacts—a demonic book and a polished mirror. The tomb's eerie silence warned of darker mysteries yet to unfold.
At Gran Gram’s shop, Rhyia and Botas met Cats, a guarded Blood Hunter battling her inner beast, who recounted a caravan ambush linked to her violent lycanthropic side. Joining the adventurers, Cats helped track stolen goods to a bandit camp near a cave. The terrified bandits confessed to a larger, mysterious predator that attacked during the raid. Moments later, a pack of fleeing deinonychus and a colossal, purple-eyed carnotaurus emerged, forcing the party to face a monstrous foe possessed by dark forces.
As Rhyia bonded with Chanty over alchemy and Botas probed a merchant’s missing shipment, Valsali uncovered secrets about Gus and Chanty’s past and Susanna’s fascination with celestial and infernal lore. When Gus returned, he led Valsali to Susanna’s favorite prairie, where they discovered a hidden mountain tunnel. Disaster struck as Gus vanished with the sinister tome, and an attack by Bullseye Jack left Valsali injured and trapped in the mountain. With unexpected help from Cici, a miner, Valsali prepared to unravel the mysteries within Blackmountain’s depths.
