After the Freedom fight, Azazel left Havyk with an aspiration-inhale boon granting advantage on Perception checks to seek out demons. The group met Blastbelle/“Glassbell,” who blew open the center office door while Havyk and the others picked the desk drawers, finding a bag of 100 gp and the pink-handled dagger note, “Happy Vithyrex Day. Love, P.M.” A button in the desk opened the hidden sewer door, and Orval Finkus reappeared before the party descended.

The party reaches a mostly safe sewer area, with Dallas taking rubble damage, then emerges into Gravenhurst to see the city under attack by a dead T. rex and another zombie thing.
