The group infiltrates Theoden's Tower while a "Tasting" event between Theoden and Shaevera is being held, where various high elves attend. Baraka is apparently being part of Theodens creature collection and - as later found out - also part of the diner menu.
While the group ascends the tower together, triggering various traps and making some noise, but overall not producing much attention, the time until the diner runs slowly out.
After finding several clues and a secret diary that lead the players to the conclusion that Theoden has some sort of fantasy about being a strong orc male protecting a helpless woman, they are being detected by private guards. While some stay back and hold them off fighting, Jeff and Florian sneak down to rescue Baraka from becoming diner. Jeff finds himself trapped in a hallucination of Theoden while Flo invisibly unties Baraka.
Everything leads to a climax, as Jeff is disabled on the floor in front of Theoden and Shaevera, Flo still invisible around the corner, Bruri running down, waving around Theodens diary while being followed by two guards, and Syllas and Ken hiding in Theodens private library for their magic items to recharge...
