Having staved off another wave of zombies, the group decided to return to the basement as they hadn't begun to explore the area. They discovered a laboratory where the last of the disc pieces had been hidden as well as more pages to the old wizard's journal. He had been manipulated by the evil being who was under the control of some form of demon in the shape of a crab. Malin had developed a spell in the hopes of containing the demon, but it looked as though he never got the chance to use it as the journal stops abruptly. The party continued searching and discovered the activation spell for the disc. With both spells in hand, O'Van decides to cast the first spell to reunite the disc pieces.
As he cast the spell, the rest of the party heard screaming coming from upstairs. Most of the party wanted to remain behind, but Telran couldn't ignore the cries for help. He rushed upstairs with Miss Kit Tay following him. There, they discovered blood oozing from the walls, dripping down, and developing into pools on the floor. They found nobody in the room though. O'Van and the others join the other two once he completed the spell. Finding nothing else new on the upstairs floor, they decided to continue their investigation of the basement. As they head downstairs, Kit Tay noticed that there were more zombies approaching the house. They quickly find that this was the largest group gathered so far - nearly one hundred of them.
Kit Tay argued with the others that she can turn them away as they slowly approached. But the others felt that they could defend themselves better from the basement, while they searched out the source of the evil controlling the zombies. Kit Tay stood firm as she began to turn the zombies away. Telran remained with her in case he was needed to help while the other three went back into the basement. As they reached the bottom of the basement stairs, the ground began to shake. A large, crab-like being emerged from the ground in the lab adjacent to the stairs.
O'Van quickly gathered his material while Holly and Cheddar tried to distract the thing. Their attacks barely scratched the creature who then attacked them with a Fear spell. Holly succumbed to the spell and ran screaming up the stairs. She was held from running into the zombie horde by Telran.
Meanwhile, O'Van cast the second spell. A burst of light emanated from the disc and covered the crab. It pulled the creature towards O'Van. It couldn't resist the pull. In two minutes, the crab disappeared into the light from the disc, breaking the disc back into its four parts. The zombies all disappeared. The fog lifted from the island and daylight returned.
Taking a quick check of the rest of the basement yielded eight large bottles of acid. The group decided to check out the lighthouse and found it empty. Kit Tay destroyed the light in the lighthouse so that no ships could ever be lured to the deadly rocks in the water again. In returning to the dock, they found the captain waiting for them. As they returned to the ship, Kit Tay gave her report to the captain.
The party is getting tired of the sea travel. There are only two more islands to visit on this tour. The captain informs them that the next island is the Isle of Brigid, an island that sailors passing it in recent weeks report that the entire topography has been changed. Plus, strange creatures they have never seen before, some flying, some nearly fifteen feet high could be seen in the distance.
