==Episode Summary==
* The episode opens just after the battle that concluded season five. Abutton loots the drow woman's corpse, claiming several shiny buttons and giving a staff to Irpaks. A carved sigil on the ground fills with the drow's blood, and glows purple. There's a boom, and the sigil turns into a portal. Long, black, shadowy fingers come through, feel around, grab the corpse of the drow woman, and start pulling it through. Irpaks wants to disrupt the hand's plan and Throden wants to eat the corpse, so they pull the corpse away. The hand grabs the edge of the portal instead and rips the floor down.
* The tower begins crumbling. They run, but the floor gives way and everyone but Irpaks (who flies down) falls through to a series of rooms underneath the tower. Throden uses the drow woman's corpse to cushion his fall, and it splatters. He says he'll make soup, and Raquel lends him a cup. Throden tugs on a locked door, and Raquel unlocks it for him. Beyond is an emo princess bed, a desk and an extravagant cloak that matches what the drow woman was wearing. Raquel takes the cloak and searches the desk. She finds a tome, a scroll, some notes, and a vanity set, which she uses to do her hair and makeup.
* Throden makes soup, and the party takes a short rest. Abutton mimics Irpaks snoring and eavesdrops on Raquel and Fanel talking about their adventures, Abutton, and Lisan. Throden shits in his sleep.
* Raquel looks through the book she found. She can't read the writing, but finds a picture of a tall, hunched creature with two horns, pustules on its face, and pale purple skin - the creatures that attacked Trenton. Irpaks, who was also supposed to be sleeping, comes to read the writing, but it's not in Undercommon.
* Among the notes is a letter in Common that talks about an artifact, which the writer, Leo, believes was created by the gods to stop "their purpose". Before they can get more information, creatures like sentinel plants and fungi with a decomposing lizardfolk missing a chunk of their face show up and take some of their resources. Throden believes the lizardfolk is his mate, and Fanel confirms the writer is his former master.
* The scroll is written in Undercommon, and depicts a ritual to bring Kri'zakth's pet to this plane. The last few words are, "And in the wake of his destruction, he will come." It seems like the ritual performed upstairs.
* Raquel pours shots for everyone. Irpaks explores the next room and sees a unicorn horn on a desk, which he secretly takes. A door leads through to a dorm, where he finds cult robes, sacrificial daggers, and 6 gold. Raquel unlocks and opens a trapped door, setting off a fireball. They hear rumblings and the scream of a creature, and the episode ends.
