- The adventurers travel through town, happy to finally have horses in Gotham; it can be hell to get around in such a vertically crammed city
- Some of the adventurers, such as Tamarin, Ryviin, and Chains, are quick to bond with their horses.
- They travel into the council district and beyond to toward the Northern walls of Gotham and reach the water purification site
- There, they meet a sleepy, crappy guard with something to prove; he is aggressive towards the adventurers, and stubborn about leaving
- Raife can sense otherworldly entities beyond the closed and locked door the guard “watches”
- After a failed bribe, things seem to quickly go downhill, but Raife calms the guard down with some Diplomacy
- But Ryviin, fed up with the lout, cracks him in the head with his hand and knocks him out cold with a critical hit
- The adventurers take the key and enter the site, and find two guards — one dead and one unconscious
- Ryviin spots enemies in the rafters and carefully warns the adventurers
- The party gets the drop on barbed man-bats and Raife launches a nasty psychic assault on them
- Highlights:
- A man-bat disappears in the shadows but Raife correctly guesses an area burst that damages and reveals the bat
- Chains trades places with Tamarin and takes a poison dart, but uses his new Shield of Prator to clean himself of all status effects and heal himself
- Arcarius keeps Ryviin swinging with repeated attack calls, causing severe damage to several enemies.
- Ryviin squeaks out the death of a huge shadow lasher, spending a karma point to finish off his last hit point of life.
- Tamarin adjusts an encounter power to fly up into the rafters and knock an enemy prone, allowing the others to gang up on the poor beast.
- After cleaning up the enemies, the adventurers help Jon, one of the guards up, and learn that they were ambushed, and lost the key below.
- Ryviin uses his thieving skills to unlock the trap door that prevents access to the river and purifier below
- The party descends down a spiral staircase and through a short passage into a round chamber
- An underground river is purified by a magic glowing-blue crystal
- Man-Bat is there, along with shadowy devils and more shadow lashers
- Man-Bat is performing a ritual that seems to be contaminating the purifier magic crystal with a strange red magic swirls
