TLDL;
After defeating an Alpha Grick the group runs into the Shadow again
She ran into cultists trying to open the Tiamat door
Before confronting the cultists the party overhear a conversation between their strange nemesis Theyuss and a weird canid/ humanoid creature named Fenroe
Theyuss summons the remains of Grimtwinkle from Cassiel’s bag and reanimates him into an undead/ draconic/ evil/ gnome/ wizard under his command
The cultists open the door where a single obsidian claw rested on a pedestal, Theyuss jams this claw onto his stump of an arm where it fuses to it and becomes flesh
Theyuss leaves with Grimtwinkle and the PCs fight the cultists while Fenroe sits in a corner uninterested
The PCs win after even after a Vrock is summoned through a demon door and second floor of the Grotto is now cleared
The PCs meet Fenroe who seems to ally himself with them, giving them the means to contact him and ask him questions.
The PCs gather their magic items, gold, and mysterious book from the dungeon and head up to Acelea where they report their success
The city throws a party for the PCs
Torbin wakes up the next morning to find Trixie the barkeep murdered in her inn
