Following their departure from the ruins of Caracas, the party traveled west until they encountered a mysterious island shrouded in absolute darkness and a thick, magical shimmering fog. Upon landing, the crew discovered a deserted carnival midway populated by strange, twisted creatures manning various stands. Throughout their exploration, the party was taunted by a disembodied, evil, cackling voice in their heads that spoke with a high-pitched tone reminiscent of Mickey Mouse.

The party investigated several areas of the carnival, including a shooting gallery, a food area, and a stand for “buying crap”. At one of the food stands, Mickle engaged in a tense “alchemy off” or showdown with a creature while attempting to acquire food, which ultimately turned out to be rotten. Nearby, the group discovered an illusory spit that appeared to be roasting a beast but provided no heat when touched.

The eerie atmosphere turned violent when the party discovered and engaged two mimics. One mimic had taken the form of an owl-bear, while the other was disguised as a juggling kit. Upon their defeat, the mimics lost their shapes and dissolved into gelatinous, “Ditto-like” goo.

During the skirmish, additional threats emerged:

• The Rug Ambush: Bludarious (Blu) was repeatedly stabbed by a mysterious enemy hiding within or appearing as a rug.
• Goblinoid Abominations: The party faced “demented, twisted abominations” described as mutilated, goblin-like creatures. One was killed by a gunshot to the head, while others simply “popped out of existence” during the fight.

Once the dust settled from the combat, the disembodied voice returned to the party's minds, sounding gleefully happy to finally have company. The voice officially invited the crew to participate in a “macabre game”. The session concluded as the party began to follow the sense of the voice deeper into the fog toward a maze of velvet ropes.
