The three heroes burst into a room of slumbering cultists in their quarters, startling them awake. A fierce, but quick, battle ensues, while a bound and chained Zalryr watches helplessly. Some flee, but three more cultists are captured.

In the eldritch library, Presto pours over the documents he stole away in his hat, combining them with what remains on the table. 

He points Eric and Diana to words like "EXPERIMENT #28" and "MUST SIPHON MORE SECRETS" with an arrow pointing to the word "SHADOW." A series of crude sketches show a failed experiment transforming into a sludge monster. 

Eric passes a torch over a carved inscription reading "Chanelle Hallwinter," and Diana leads the green-flamed knight to it. The ghost relaxes, visibly relieved, and the ball of fire over her head fades to reveal the gleaming image of Chanelle in her prime. 

Presto tries to return the glasses he found to her, but the ghost demures, folding Presto's hand back around them. There is a glow, and the glasses are blessed, to Presto's amazement.  

The three heroes, towing a train of chained cultists, arrive at a guard station outside Neverwinter Castle. Kevori, delighted, throws her arms around Eric, who tolerates it for a moment before shrugging her off to hug Presto and Diana, instead. 

The guards take the chains of the cultists and lead them away, and Kevori surveys the scuffled damage of the heroes, offering them to come inside. The station's barrakcs holds a few cots, empty and inviting. Eric gives a happy sigh to the heavens, and collapses into one of them, snoring almost immediately. 

Presto and Diana chuckle and shake their heads, knowingly.
