At the request of Ser Eagleheart's squire, the party investigates his recent death. This leads the into the sewers by the ruined clocktower. As they pursue the shadowy figure they encountered in Bonepass last adventure, G'kar intimidates his way past a throng of foulspawn that block their path.
They find their way into a labyrinth where they are lost for several days. They fight an abberrant creature sent to hunt them by the foulspawn and bypass several traps to find their way into an old thieve's guild.
They unravel the mystery of the Exarch and learn that he was deposed almost a thousand years ago by the theieves guild who now has replaced him as symbolic leader of the city (though they allow all the nobles to make important decisions). The theives guild was overrun by doppelgangers who picked them off one by one until only the head of the guild remained and he fled but was captured by the tunnel rats (until his escape last adventure when the party distracted his captors).
The party joins the theives guild of Nera and the guildmaster resumes his leadership as Exarch. The imposter Exarch escapes with some of the Exarch's treasured items including a magical mask, sword, and flute, though the guildmaster still has the Exarch's signate ring used to seal all official documents.
The Exarch has the party reassigned to his temple guard. Laralove Dewshining accepts the transfer. When the party returns she is about to punish the squire harshly for missing three days of duty, but they manage to get him off the hook with only a slap on the wrist. The squire returns to duty as Dewshining's personal attendant.
