Having completed your exploration and investigation of Elbourne manner, you have entered into a tentative deal with The Watcher. You are now seeking the toymaker, Michael Sounders, in an attempt to confirm whether or not he has been behind the recent murders of the cultists of Hastur.
Having completed your first task by ridding the valley of Underfall from its undead problem, and rescuing Warden Annetta Blackthorn, you turned your eyes to what the future may hold. You had elicited Scrollkeeper Vylan's help in tracking down the strange dollmaker whom you had previously crossed paths with. Until you get a lead on where to start looking, you find yourselves with an influx of cash and some down time. Luckily, the City of Monuments (Magnimar) is a happening place, so there's sure to be something you can occupy your time with!
Having made your way to the Alchemist's tower and bested the corrupted scholar itself, you are now faced with the large fungal problem that is growing in the basement of the tower.
Having finally located a survivor and finding Warden Blackthorn's journal, the M and M's have decided that the next course of action is to head into the mountains. Days before Underfall was destroyed, Warden Blackthorn had left in search of an Alchemist, Terrence Fial. She had learned that he was seeking out an ancient tower that had belonged to one of his ancestors, as a place to perform his research. His research, being focused on fungi and antifungal serums, could be relevant to the late happenings in Underfall.
