The Bruisers jumped into action, fighting against the flesh monsters and the incredibly powerful fiend that had somehow found its way into the underground alchemy lab belonging to the beholder
After narrowly defeating the threat, the group interrogated the beholder, Tax'athar, after stealing some of his diamond dust to help Jezria out of a feedblemind spell
Tax'athar explained he had been summoning flesh monsters to help him move the Remnants of Castle Avernus as they were brought to the Halfway There Inn, and Bazil, the owner of the Inn, had built the Inn atop the alchemy lab, which Tax had been working in for many, many years.
When pushed for information, Tax explained he was something of a regional manager when it came to the acquisition of Remnants. Someone had hired the Queen of the Beholders, Quazix'ana, to track down the pieces of the dread shadowfell castle, but Tax has no idea who it was that had hired her
The group asked for help in exchange for helping Tax find some rare ingredients for his potion making hobby
Tax let the Bruisers know a shipment of Remnants was going out that very evening on a barge in an underground river beneath the lab
Bogul's Bruisers hid away on the barge and soon found themselves in the middle of Griffon's Gulf, south of Core Vandal, heading out to the Kindred Sea.
