Story: Roland's blood cult is poisoning Gloomhaven's water supply. You must destroy the alchemy tables and stop the infection before the city falls. Type: Objective destruction + combat. High spawn rate with Black Imps every round and chain-spawning Blood Imps when Zealots die. Difficulty: Hard - we already lost once.
Story: The Demolitionist's personal quest - demolish a cursed building while fighting off angry spirits. Type: Destruction + escape. Collapse rooms by destroying pillars, but don't get caught in the rubble. Living Spirits can only die when rooms collapse. Difficulty: Medium - ANY character exhaustion = instant loss.

- There have been mystery disappearances in the city of Gloomhaven, and you have been hired to investigate.
- On your way back from an unsuccessful mission to find a missing blacksmith, you are ambushed by Vermlings, small and vicious creatures.
- The Vermlings’ proximity to the city is unusual, raising questions about their boldness.
- You are weary from your journey and the ambush, but you decide to investigate.

- After getting plenty of rest, you set out to find Roland.
- You find some Vermlings and get them to talk, they tell you that they are paid by Roland to deliver bodies and give you their drop-off location.
- The location is a derelict ship at the Old Docks, it's easy to spot as it is leaking a strange black liquid, and there are 2 Zealots guarding it.
- You fight the Zealots and their giant vipers, there is a river of black liquid running through the ship.
- In the final room, a group of Zealots are performing an incantation over an alter piled with severed limbs and mounds of flesh.
- After defeating the Zealots, you sift through the human remains and find a necklace, confirming that Sandy's' husband, the missing blacksmith, is dead.
- You also find a map of the Boiler District, with a location marked on it.
- You arrive at the building marked on the map, but it's been recently burnt down.
- You search the charred rubble and find a set of stairs leading down to a stone cellar where you hear chanting similar to the one you heard on the ship.
- Their chanting causes 4 massive rune-covered stones to scatter across the room as the floor begins to shake and the the ceiling starts to crumble.
- You fight the Zealots and their Stone Golems, to prevent being buried alive.
- After defeating the Zealots, you head down a tunnel to find answers.
- You find Zealots who scramble to stall you while they finish their ritual.
- One Zealot who knows he is outmatched, "Opens a rift" and multiple red lights rip open the fabric of reality.
- From the rifts emerge Chaos Demons, one of which engulfs the Zealot who opened the rift, and then they turn their attention to you.
- You defeat the Chaos Demons and head to the next room, where you first encounter a Blood Tumor.
- You fight the blood tumor but it heals by any damage suffered by anyone in the room, and must never get to full health.
- After defeating the Blood Tumor it explodes into a shower of blood and guts, one of the Zealots threatens that "The Blood God will consume the city".
- You try to interrogate him about Roland, but he is already dead, Instead you grab a chunk of the Blood Tumor and bring it to the University for analysis.
- You take the chunk of the Blood Tumor to Professor Haltrip, an old Quatryl at the University.
- You explain all you know about the Vermling, black sludge, earthquakes, and the tumor, and that there are other tumors out there.
- He runs test to find out what the tumor is made of so he can find a way to track the others
- Something goes horrible wrong in the lab, the growths spread and kill all the lab assistants, and transforms the rats into monstrosities.

- You scour the streets of the city, trying to locate the growths and pinpoint 2 locations, an abandoned set of buildings in the Sinking Market and a warehouse down at the Old Docks.
- With any luck, you'll find Roland.

- You were too late, the explosion is just the beginnins, you make your way to the Old Docks ASAP.

- After defeating the Zealots, you are done, as far as you can tell.
- You have destroyed the creatures of Blood that plagued the city, and have thwarted the group behind the disappearances.
- You can finally respond to the widow, and update the city guards with all you have learned.
- They can mop up the rest of this stupid cult, and you can go back to actually getting paid to kill things.
- As you walk toward the Sleeping Lion, dreaming of a hot bath, you remember a rumor about someone along the Hook Coast offering Gold to mercenaries, who would come and fight in his "gauntlet".
- You travel to the Hook Coast, outside Gloomhaven's walls, to investigate a "gauntlet" built by a madman offering 10 gold to anyone who survives.

- At the end, you find Roland has fled, leaving a mocking note calling you "worthy opponents" but claiming you're still doomed like the rest of the city.

- The sewers are filled with Black Sludges, Giant Vipers, and Vermlings, with your path blocked by a massive iron sluice gate.
- To open the gate, you must pull a rusty lever - but doing so releases a torrent of water, turning the mission into a desperate survival race.
