Mitterfruhl Spring Equinox
The adventurers arrive in Bögenhafen during the Schaffenfest, a three-day fair. Flagelant tries his luck in a wrestling ring and beats the champion, duCourt gets involved in some gambling, Lavarar sells some fake aphrodesiacs, and everyone has a good time.
A three-legged goblin escapes from a freakshow into the sewers and the adventurers are hired to follow him by Dr. Malthusius, a showman, and Councillor Heinz Richter, a town magistrate. In the sewers the adventurers discover a hidden cellar temple and destroy a guardian demon after a desperate battle. They discover the mutilated body of Gottri Gurnisson, a drunken dwarf who was in the stocks at the fair. While the others return to the inn to sleep duCourt continues on alone and discovers a door leading to the cellar of the Crossed Pikes Inn, and the local Thieves’ Guild.
1st Pflugzeit
After a failed attempt to leave the Journey’s End Inn without paying, the adventurers meet all kinds of off-putting in the Festival Court and the Town Hall. They run into Dr. Malthusius again, talk to Councillor Joannes Teugen, and have lunch at the Golden Trout with Frederich Magirius, a merchant and town councillor. Late at night they visit the sewers again and encounter Franz Baumann, landlord of the Crossed Pikes and Thieves’ Guildsman, and his cronies.
2nd Pflugzeit
The adventurers settle their account at the Journey’s End and go shopping. Lavarar buys some generic outfits. While gambling in the Hammer and Tongs a madman is heard raving outside and when they investigate, he singles out Fitzue and shouts “The Mark is upon you, beware the bringers of Chaos!” before fleeing into the crowd. The adventurers trace locations from the sewer map while posing as surveyors, and Lavarar discovers a note fallen from the pocket of Heinrich Steinhäger, a merchant, outside his office. The note is from Teugen, referring to a meeting of the ‘Inner Council’ at his house after sunset.
The Adel Ring—the part of the town where all the rich live—is observed as the Inner Council (or Ordo Septenarius) members leave their houses to meet at Teugen’s. Later the adventurers break into Steinhäger’s offices, stunning and binding the guard dog and the doorman (and somewhat callously throwing them in the sewers alive). They ransack the rooms and discover the entrance to the sewer temple.
3rd Pflugzeit
The adventurers try unsuccessfully to enlist Thieves’ Guild aid.
Magirius comes to the Hammer and Tongs and reveals the Ordo intend to perform a ritual to make them all rich. When Teugen indicated a human sacrifice was necessary Magirius decided to tell the adventurers.
Thugs raid the adventurer’s room and a fight breaks out; the watch arrives.
duCourt and Flagelant are arrested when they go to Magirius’ house and find Magirius murdered. Lavarar, disquised as a beggar, watches the Ordo cultists arrive at Warehouse 13 on the river.
duCourt and Flagelant escape their cell; Fitzue hires a Thieves’ Guilder; Lavarar gets the town watch.
The ritual is foiled after a battle; several warehouses burn down; the adventurers raid Teugen’s house, ransack it and hurriedly escape Bögenhafen in a stolen coach and two horses.
