-The party wakes up after their raucous New Year's Eve party, and goes about their morning business: more sleep, breakfast, office work, etc. There's a knock at the door at mid-morning. [[Lycus Kyrill]], a Commander in the [[Ketten Islands]] Army, tells them that the army camp defending and investigating the mysterious door where [[Jemnos}} once stood is gone, presumably the same way as the town, replaced by a field of doors. The government wants them to investigate, destroy whatever it is, and get its personnel and the townsfolk back. The Legion quickly realizes it's their old foe the [[Accursed Archive]], and ask for more money, the land where [[The Lower Deck]] once stood, and a pink tutu for [[Bostix]]. The Army agrees.

 The party travels to where the town and camp once were, and find the field of doors. They investigate them, going into one. In a vast library of many rooms and many, many shelves, they battle a Greater [[air elemental]] and discover that the townsfolk have been somehow been turned into books in the Archive. They collect a few and continue to explore. They face apparitions of [[Father Goat]], [[Malzahar Del'anor]], [[Wylan Legon III]], and [[The Master]], whom they defeat. Leaving this part of the archive, the party ventures into another, where they face more monsters and find more people books.

		+	As Liandrel and party rest under the Hut,[[The Black Fangs]] fill the chamber but cannot penetrate the Hut. The corpse of Thulok Karn morphs into a huge snake, and he directs his army to assault the Legion when the Hut falls, but Liandrel awakes and teleport the party back to the guildhall before that can happen. There, she pays the party for their services with two 1000 gp diamonds and asks him she can spend the night. She does, sleeping on a couch in the library, and the next morning at breakfast she visits with the party for a long while, giving [[Salt]] more stories, before bidding them a final thank you and goodbye, before turning into a colossal ancient silver dragon on the street and flying away.

		+	Her transformation almost kills a courier bringing the mail, but her survives. Among the mail is a letter for Leeram. After reading, he tells Ember what it read: his cousin [[Kimal Oot]], an architect who works for [[Grand Architect Rumolo]], ruler of [[Okitt]] on [[Akupara]] Maeus, reports that the turtle island is dying of a corruption or sickness that is getting worse and spreading. Local efforts to solve it have failed, and she asks the Legion to come and help. They agree to, and Leeram uses ''Transport Via Plants'' to take them there. They appear in an apple orchard that is mostly dead and covered in spider webs. Leeram hears a voice he recognizes screaming for help, that of [[Serralu Kemp]], whose is being wrapped up by a huge spider. They party slays the creature and talks to Serralu, who relates that the sickness started a year ago, and by now has spread to every living thing, causing most of the nations still-living people to retreat to a fortress on the other side of the island.

		+	She stayed behind to try to save her orchard, a doomed effort, not the least because of the many monsters which have appeared. They even have mutated the animals, like that poor spider. When the party expresses that they have come to help, she tells them about a pit in a local village where she's seen the monsters come from. Serralu goes into hiding as the party finds the hole and fights their way past aberrations to a series of tunnels and caverns acid-burned into the akupara's shell, wherein they battle many other creatures until they come upon the lair of a 40ft. tall humanoid aberration, accompanied by three mind flayers. The creature, evidently the cause of the corruption, offers the party to join him, which they refuse. Combat ensues, and the party is hard-pressed, but finally turns the tides and destroys the foul entity.
