The party finds the mysterious orb they were warned about, but danger lurks around every corner.
A lantern illuminates the cell and reveals to Trix and Talbain that Faerlin is alive and well. It seems he’s come to escort Trix to their “proper chambers”, all the while shifting their eyes to the ceiling. Trix catches on to Faerlin’s hints and the pair agree to bring Talbain on as “another servant” so that Talbain can escape too. Faerlin escorts Trix and Talbain out of the cell through a hidden door in the floor, but they make a point to pull Talbain aside. He threatens Talbain with execution if Trix is harmed, but Talbain doesn’t seem bothered. When Faerlin assures the pair that The Dragon is not monitoring the tunnel, Trix brings Talbain up to speed.
In the treasure vault, Rou sets Cela on a nearby chest before heading over to the pile of gear. He begins to change out of the borrowed clothes and notices Mongo holding a black furred pelt. It doesn’t take him long to realize that it’s his pelt, treated and prepared to be used as a rug. While Rou is absorbed in his thoughts, Eight learns something new about magic from Cela. They then set their sights on the orb and take it gently in hand just as Trix and Talbain arrive through a hidden door, escorted by Faerlin.
