Grace, Keiko and Rachel arrive at a 15-storey unfinished office building. They each have different but similar creepy feelings. Grace feels tiny feet running up her spine, Keiko notices the weeds are very dry, and Rachel’s connection to the elements feels stale and magic is being suppressed.

The building has some power, work lights and emergency lights are on. As the trio walks through the entrance to the stairwell, a steel beam falls narrowly missing Rachel.

They make their way up the stairs to the 12th floor where they see a man talking to a number of other men (it is too dark to see how many) and the egg sac is on a side table next to the first man.

Grace rushes forward pushing the first man out of the way, while she grabs the egg sac and tosses it to Keiko who runs towards the stairs.

A man with platinum blonde hair and tailored suit yells something in an Eastern European language, which causes the rest of the men to start running after Keiko.

Rachel (aka Princess Lightning Bug) uses the electricity in the wall sockets to blast a major electric ball of energy to the group of men. (Not clear if they are knocked out or killed)

The guy Grace shoved starts evolving into his Oni form, which causes his clothes to rip apart as wings sprout out of his back. He grabs Grace who whips out her notepad and asks him if he ever thought of modelling.

Keiko reaches the stairwell door only to find it locked. She starts towards the second stairwell only to be blocked by Platinum blonde. He sends out a black tendril of energy causing Keiko to slam into a wall (dislocating her arm) and making her blind. Keiko throws down some thorns which rapidly grow into a wall barrier with thorns 8 inches long.

Rachel sees Keiko with an illusion of an old crone with a cauldron and yells out “this guy can mindfuck you” but Grace is on the roof and Keiko is blind, so only Rachel is affected.

Platinum blonde causes the air around Keiko to constrict making it hard to breathe. Keiko retaliates by causing flowers to bloom among the thorns that can release poison gas. She warns Rachel who uses a wind zephyr to blow the gas towards Platinum blonde.

Meanwhile, Grace and the Oni end up on the roof somehow (missed that part) and she asks to see his contract with Platinum blonde named Siniša Rajković. Grace immediately decides to write her next book under that name and writes it on her business card. She hands the card to the Oni (whose name is Basset?) saying this is her name and she’d like the egg sac delivered to her. Also, she offers a million dollar contract to live with her and model for a year.

Back on the 15th floor, Keiko and Rachel are battling Rajković who sends out more dark energy causing Keiko to feel like she is drowning. Rachel is keeping him at bay with the electricity balls.

Grace and Basset seal the deal and return to the 15th floor for the egg sac.  Grace kicks Rajković in the butt and he lashes out with more black tendrils that cause the trio to bleed and he says “Something to remember you by” before releasing a huge fireball. Rachel runs towards the stairwell but Keiko is still unsticking herself from the black tendrils.

Basset grabs Grace, flies towards Keiko, grabs her and pushes them into the stairwell before the fireball can fry them.

They head to the hospital to get Keiko’s arm set and to return the egg sac. Rachel storms through the hospital to Tabitha’s room and the eggs hatch just as she walks into the room. Tabitha shifts into her were-spider form and coos over the children, thanking Rachel profusely. She offers her a gift certificate to **Sweetfoot: all you can eat gator** a popular Cajun restaurant.

The trio plus Basset arrive at the restaurant and are greeted by Tabitha’s Auntie Magdalene. They notice jars with animal feet around the windows, runes etched on the tables and plants that Keiko recognizes as arcane. (Odd roll = telepathic plants, Even roll = pheromone plants)

The jukebox starts playing, influencing Grace to start dancing with her Oni familiar.  Auntie Magdalene sells Keiko some plants and Rachel is ordering from the dessert menu.

Then they all drive back to Montague University.
