Plot Summary:

Clip Clop, Balpetor, and Skirmish head on to their next job sent by the guild master to a contractor building a mansion. The contractor named Mac "Cool Guy" Enchies explains he is missing 3 of his hard working workers named the Mickey brothers who were last seen at the rubiaceous Racoon, a popular bar amongst the workers. The three head on to the bar and is met with two bouncers, Walter Tebow and Derek Novakova. Although Walter Tebow is reluctant on giving information due to ill experience with the Firebreathing Kittens, Derek shares possibly some of the performers may know what had happened. The party also learns another bouncer named Shaggin Nibiru is also missing at the same time the workers were missing 2 days ago.

As they arrive to the performer's gate, Derek also shows a piece of magical paper with magical scrambling words that was left by a mysterious woman. When Balpetor takes hold of this paper and have Skirmish examine it using detect magic, Skirmish is swallowed in a mysterious vortex. Panicked and worried, Clip Clop suggests to have everyone place their hands in the vortex to see what happens. Balpetor mistakenly assumes Derek was part of "everyone" and grabs Derek's hand placing all three hands in the vortex.

The 4 party members teleport to a mysterious cathedral covered in dark vines. The party concludes the lady who kidnapped the workers and bouncer must be residing within this cathedral. After analyzing and detecting for evil, surprisingly, nothing seemed too strange about the cathedral. The party bursts into the cathedral finding large statues from within. One half of the room was humans while the other half of the room were elves. Skirmish decides to demolish nearby vines causing two fungus humanoid creatures with vines to appear attacking the party. At the same time, the statues begin a countdown warning the party not to be there starting at ten seconds. After defeating the humanoid creatures, the countdown is nearing it's end. Panicking, the party splits with Skirmish running towards another two pair of doors on the other side of the cathedral, Clip Clop strategically retreating back at the entrance, and Balpetor walking into the middle of the counting statues readying for whatever event was to come in the name of glory.

At the end of the countdown, the statues repeat the warning and begins the countdown again resulting in the party astonished no harm came at the end. After collecting some mushroom dust and a short rest, Derek is left behind to watch the camp while the party continues deeper into the cathedral back to the gates where Skirmish attempted to open. Skirmish uses an explosive like power to open the door revealing a long hallway with many doors. Entering in one of the doors, the party finds a small bedroom. In the bedroom, a desk shows humans/creatures with insect wings. Leaving that room, another room reveals corpses of 2 kobolds and various animals from different planes. After the party agrees to release all the animals, one of the creatures, a flying monkey, is quickly befriended by Clip Clop. He then feeds the monkey mushroom dust from the humanoid creatures in the last battle resulting in the flying monkey now named Flappy able to speak common. Flappy gives the party details about how the animals were taken and used for some project by an mysterious haggard looking woman.

During the explanation, the same woman appears in the hallway and warns the party they did not belong here in the cathedral and desperately flees into a room at the end of the hallway. In pursuit, the party enters the room and finds the woman who now identifies herself as Mishra stabs herself with a mysterious dagger wanting to be "The Chosen One". At the same time, the party also finds the 3 captive Mickeys and Shaggin. She transforms into a large thorny monster similar to the ones in the cathedral and the battle begins. The party realizes attacks against Mishra was useless due to absorbing some sort of life source amongst the captives. The party frees the captives and continues their battle against Mishra. Although still having the upper hand against the now tired and injured party, Mishra impales Balpetor in the face with a spike. At the split moment of this event, Balpetor receives a mysterious power from a voice within that seems to transcend time and planes asking for Balpetor to free him. Known as, "He is Outside and Around", Balpetor performs a powerful counter blow avoiding impalement and defeats Mishra with a mighty Divine Smite.

The party returns with the workers and bouncers as the scene ends with a mysterious thorn-like creature briefly appearing on the back of Balpetor's neck.
