Heroes: Meghera, Tarabas, Aonar, Vaako, Sarvaas
The Heroes face the Doomguards and best them; they tie them up, and focus their attention on Timlin. Now that they have the sword, they plan to knock him out, and go for the exit. Yet, things are not that easy: when the Heroes assault him, he drops the charade and reveals himself an extremely trained warrior. He's about to overpower the Heroes, when Tarabas clouds his mind with a carefully worded suggestion, and compels him to leave the room.
To take advantage of the situation, the Heroes decide to move immediately to the exit. Unfortunately, they find a group of Mercykillers waiting for them. When they refuse to hand over the sword, the leader of the group, an half-elf wizard, unleashes a cone of cold on them. Due to the wounds suffered at Timlin's hand, Vaako and Meghera fall unconscious, while Tarabas and Aonar are killed on the spot.
When the survivors awake, they find themselves prisoners of Timlin. In order to save their lives, they reveal the location of the exit portal, and the necessary key. Timlin leaves, with Meghera and Vaako still tied up. They're "saved" by the Harmonium party they faced a few hours before. The Hardheads have no friendly intentions, and take the two into custody. Once back in Sigil, they deliver them to the Prison.
Meghera is released after a few days thanks to the influence of her fellow Godsmen, but Vaako faces trial, and is found guilty of aiding a prisoner of the Lady of Pain escape from his maze. While in transit between the Courthouse and the Prison, the genasi makes his escape, becoming a wanted man, but eventually fiding refuge in the Hive.

Meghera is summoned by Factol Ambar of the Godsmen, entrusting her with an important task. A series of murders have been plaguing Sigil of late, and while the Harmonium is in charge of the investigation, the factol wants Meghera to discover the dark of it before the Hardheads, and report to him.
In order to get up to speed, Meghera steals the notebook of the Harmonium factor leading the search, a dour dwarven woman name Narcovi. By perusing Narcovi's notebook, the Heroes find out that the murders follow a specific pattern. Yet their hunt has just begun, as something weird is certainly unfolding around them. The dabus have been acting strangely of late, cleaning already pristine streets, or repairing building in no need of maintenance. Can this all be connected with the Modron March?
