Summary
The metaplane of Kadath is briefly intersecting with the material plane, creating a displacement alchera in a cave system used as a smuggling route by Norville Craddock. He wants the site secured so he can harvest reagents from it and study the strange happenings inside, but Wuxing predicted the event and has paid the Yellow Lotus Triad to take over the spot as soon as the alchera appeared. Craddock hires runners to solve this issue, who chop up both the Triad goons guarding the place and the spirits inhabiting it.
Background
Enterprising talislegger/Elder mage Norville Craddock's smuggling route has been turned into a displacement alchera containing a small portion of Kadath, or at least something resembling it. Normally he'd be all for this, but one of his smuggler's (one Jimmy Tricks) was caught within the cave as the change occurred and is lost and disoriented within. Also Wuxing's geomancers and diviners predicted the alchera's appearance and paid Yellow Lotus Triad goons to rush in and attempt to claim the spot before anyone else could. Triad talisleggers attempted to harvest reagents and magical secrets from the alchera, but end up being swarmed by wild Guidance spirits attracted to the site.
