We send the ninjas in to scout, but it goes poorly. They find the dragon, but something is clearly wrong, it's just not clear what. Goop is all over the ways, floors, and just everything. None of her minions appear to be around, until they are, and they're the wrong minions. Mika's captured, but Mara manages to hide. The rest of the team approaches, worried that they haven't heard back from the ninjas, and they find the same setup, except now there's a suspended Mika hanging from the ceiling. We think about how to free her without exposing ourselves too much when the ambush is sprung. There are a trio of spotlight creatures crawling around on the ceiling that make it hard for Mika to teleport. The elf is swimming through the goop all over the place like she's a fish in water, and the dragon acts like it's a marionette. We all travel to the afterlife. Except it's kind of a sucky afterlife, as it's under assault from monstrous tentacled things. We eventually team up with the dragon already there to try and fix whatever we did wrong in the past to make sure the tentacles don't win. Mika and Mara become priestesses of the crystal dragon and we pop back into the old continuity, except not as battered as we had been. The fight is won. 8700/6.5 xp + 3000 xp for founding a religion.
