Events:
--- Escape Plan
- Appearing at the entrance of the stone worm dungeon after Scarlet Eclipse’s spell pulled them back out, the party is once again badgered by startlingly antipodean monkeys. Scarlet sells them some ket to get them off his back.
- They head back to Shrub’s shack and buy a few potions for good luck. Shrub Nigeria says that he’s heard the site of the original Dwarven moon landing is nice this time of moon-year, so the gang decide to head off that way. Shrub even lets them borrow his bananamobile!

--- Ancient History
- They reach the site and see that there’s a big headless stone figure crouching in a small crater. In the area around it are multiple interesting things - a couple of stone monoliths (one broken), a big toilet-shaped rock, strange equipment, that sort of thing.
- The toilet rock is obviously the most pressing thing, and inside they see just a ton of poo in individually-wrapped bags. Just like the real moon landing!
- Another device nearby has a big fist on it, seemingly used for pounding moon dust into solid moon-brick. Ratman stamps a commemorative coin.
- While they’re messing with it, the eye on top of the monolith across the way lights up and sends a beam of radiation towards the party! They all take damage, and Red grabs a shiny retroreflector off the ground as a shield.
--- Tiny War
- They advance towards the monolith behind the shield, noticing some sort of tiny war going on as they pass by the kneeling statue. Small pink Clangers fight against motile moon rocks twice their size on the slopes of the knee-high crater. The moon rocks seem to be winning!
- The war rages around their feet, and suddenly Scarlet Eclipse is fired upon by some sort of magic weapon from elsewhere! A sniper? It’s all happening!
- Jeremy realises he’s got a potion that can help - Clairaudience! He hears where the sniper is, and Red dashes over to the sounds. There are three-toed footprints around there and she hears blurbling voices. Red Elves!
- She makes some spooky noises to spook them, and the Elves bug out in their shimmering soap bubble spaceship.
--- Talking to Everything
- The rest of the party is close enough to the eye-topped monolith that it can’t aim down at them. Beepbox uses a miracle to talk to it. It’s programmed to shoot non-Dwarves and it’s been here since a little while after the moon landing to keep the place pristine. It hasn’t seen anyone in ages.
- They put a bucket over the eye to deactivate the beams and move on.
- Near some ancient moon-mining experiments they see a large metal hatch. They knock on it, and a dragon comes out! It’s the Soup Dragon! It makes soup and exploits Clanger labour! They get some delicious soup.
- They finally investigate the moon lander and see that the head was a re-entry vehicle and the body was a big golem thing. Neat! Also it’s got valuable gems in it. Beepbox decides that it belongs in a museum and talks to it, finding out that it was manufactured in (where else) Dwimmermount! Is there anything that mountain can’t do?
- Most of the party work to get the lander back to Shrub-Nigeria’s house. Ratman stays behind for a while, using his rats to turn the tide of the battle versus the moon rock monsters!
