Mabel’s party is the party of misfit heroes led by Mabel, formed to repel the Calamity Beasts in the Bloomburrow storyline.
History
Investigation of Pondside
The party first formed on Mabel's birthday around 4564 AR, after Helga warned her about the Calamity Beasts. Mabel fetched Cragflame from her attic and announced that she would travel to Pondside to find out what had happened there.[1] Finneas, Gev, Hugs, Zoraline, and Helga are part of the party.
When they arrived at Pondside, they found that it was destroyed by Maha. Hugs, Mabel, and Zoraline reasoned or divined that the survivors headed south to Haymeadow.[2] They also found two squirrelfolk necromancers that were digging up bones and things to steal. The squirrelfolk animated the skeletons of Pondside’s deceased, which the party defeated, but the necromancers escaped towards Long River. The party decided to head after them:
Arrival at Three Trees City
The party arrived at Three Trees City, and Mabel and Finneas asked around to find out where the squirrelfolk were. There they encountered Ral Zarek as an otterfolk looking for Jace Beleren, who he assumed was in fox shape. Helga saw Jace in one of her visions and said that he was with a green- and black-scaled lizardfolk and some small creature.[2]
It was then that The Flood Gale attacked Three Trees City. Huge waves crashed over the Dockland, flooding the Long River. Hugs kept the party afloat, along with Ral Zarek. [2]
Arrival in Ratfolk Territory
The party washed up into a cavern inhabited by hostile and defensive ratfolk, who told the party to leave. After explaining that they arrived on accident, the ratfolk’s superior, Coffey, stepped in[3] and offered the party hospitality.
There the party learned that a weaselfolk named Cruelclaw had stolen a calamity beast’s egg, and was leading his band through Bloomburrow to pillage and causing the calamity beasts to wreak havoc in their wake.[4] After a brief discussion, the party resolved to retrieve the egg and return it to its rightful place.
Helga used her augury to locate Cruelclaw, unconsciously drew a picture of Fountainport.[4] When she took out her journal, Ral noticed the picture of what Helga assumed was the Sun Hawk, and noted that it seemed familiar.
Journey to Fountainport
Shortcut across dandelion fields
A molefolk named Tucker led the party out of the tunnels to a marshland. To the north and west was forest, and to the east there was a crag. The ratfolk recommended that the party head north, then east to Fountainport, so that the party could get shelter and provisions in woodland villages along the way, though there were a few lizardfolk villages in the hills.[4]
Hugs and Gev knew of a shortcut across a dandelion field. Tucker told them that field was currently stormy with a large and terrible creature,[4] but nevertheless Mabel decided to bring the party through the shortcut.
In the fields the party saw the creature, which Ral explained was animal-shifted dragon from another plane.[4] Mabel told the party to be quiet, and they sneaked through the fields until Zoraline, who was asleep, woke up and started talking, attracting the dragons attention. Ral Zarek told the others to run, and fought the dragon alone while the rest of the party hid under a boulder.
