Gameplay begins as the party gets ready to leave the Shield Splitter Inn. The group that heads to the Cracked Flagon comprises: Virgil, Floyd, Guy, Brix, Chris Tennison, Dr. Ethan, Brother Art, Zarin, and Orin. On the way, they meet up with Pskenart and his new traveling companion, Artamus, and they decide to accompany the group to the Flagon.

It’s when the party arrives at the inn that the real fun starts. The assembled arrive, to discover the following people waiting for them:

Everyone waits patiently for the party to start telling the story, and Virgil and Floyd primarily, tell everyone the story of the release of the Harvester, the upcoming Harvest (with Sally corroborating the description of the Harvester). In addition, they tell the story of Cardinal Nikolai and his secret room, and about the loss of the Imperial Scepter and the notion that there has been evidence of goblin activity in the Twilight Lands. The meat of the matter is discussing Doogal, and his plans, but the party is interrupted by the arrival of Gruth, who comes to inform the folks in the Cracked Flagon that they’re surrounded, and that the demand for a peaceful departure is for the party to turn over Sally to him. When the group turns down his request, Gruth exits, Virgil follows, and a grand battle ensues.

The party fights a contigent consisting of a large group of kobolds, including minor and advanced warriors (champions), shamans, and a warchief, human warriors, a group of dwarven mercenaries and their captain, orcs, lizardmen warriors and shamans, gnolls, and a hill giant. Gruth escapes on a black dragon.

The fight is a decisive victory for the Cracked Flagon residents, with three casualties on their side, with Arturo, Artamus, and Bromir being the only deaths, whereas the attackers are almost completely destroyed (Gruth escapes, and a small number of the dwarven mercenaries and their captain surrender and survive.

At the conclusion of the battle, the group determines that they will go to their respective allies and try to raise forces against Doogal, with the intent being to reconvene at the Flagon in three months time. The party, meanwhile, decides to head north to get the other part of Brix's weapon, Svarth.
