The party must deal with a mind-controlled Mongo before discovering the extent of Erdir’s trickery.
The Dragon’s voice has echoed through the room, the temperature has dropped and the sconces have been blown out. Forced to scramble in the dark, Rou hears a low rumbling nearby and extends his senses to try and gauge Mongo’s mood. When Mongo makes an angered exclamation, Trix responds by firing an arrow toward where they believe the creature is. They’re successful, and an explosion briefly lights up the room to expose Mongo’s position.
Eight scolds Mongo for their actions, and in response Mongo swings their large chained weapon. Rou is lucky enough to dodge the attack, but Mongo’s shift to face the group reveals a pair of glowing eyes in the dark. Rou tries to help Cela who, despite her weakened state, does her best to assist the group. Eight, realizing what the glowing eyes mean, takes an opportunity to force Erdir’s control from Mongo’s mind. The air warms a little and the lights rekindle to reveal a shocking surprise.
