Phase 2:
0. Bigg's Dig appears to be closed! However, if you look closely at the crates, they're addressed to RCC, not RCB... current speculation is Rene C. Corman... Corman, being the name mentioned by the demon on the tablet, and 'Rene C Corman' being an anagram of Necromancer... Further reinforced by how the skeletal monsters fled, not died. Or whatever they do. New text: "The tent is currently empty. Weird that Bigg would leave without even saying goodbye..." Alternative speculation, courtesy of HR0: Maybe Bigg is driving back from the Burning Man Festival right now. After all, the tablet is a clear reference to it.
