My brain is still somewhat mush from 10 hours of STing followed by (no lie) 13 hours of sleeping, but here is the gist until I have time + energy to write more about it:

• Garou went into the lower levels of Cold Crescent to investigate and were set upon by all 6 of the Beloved Horror, who announced themselves by kicking Raspberry Sky's body down into their midst. Cute, guys. Real cute.
  
• Phoebe and Sophia summoned the Incarna of Water to exorcise Green Dragon from the Beloved Horror, then Keisha and Phoebe summoned the withered and slumbering spirits of the Black Spirals back to their bodies.
  
• Charlotte called upon the ghosts in the graves above, who were only too glad to wreak havoc upon the Beloved Horror.
  
• Hector and Javed (while also fighting) took many, many hits for the Theurges to keep the Beloved Horror off of them while Thomas, Frenzy!Erich, Avery, Ingrid, Milton, and Tamsin fought them, taking (and doling out) quite a bit of agony in the process.
  
• Did I forget to mention Sophia and Charlotte spam-healing like madwomen? Anyway, they spam-healed like madwomen otherwise Javed and Hector and Erich and Tamsin would prooobably be dead right now.
  
• Three of the Beloved Horror were killed, while Th'nak'vis, D'stok, and Je'nash escaped... after summoning some freakish tentacle-thing from the nightmare-pit as a diversion. Erich, Charlotte and Ingrid pursued, but lost the three Spirals in the tunnels.
  
• The garou beat the tentacle-thing back into the pit, while Erich barked loudly to the effect of YEAH YOU'D BETTER RUN at the Spirals.
  
• In short, everyone was a flippin' badass.
  
• The pit/portal/mine/whatever your character thinks of it as is NOT out of the picture. After the garou beat the tentacle back it returned to the same semi-dormant stage it was in when they got down there, but it is Still A Thing.
