Finally alone, Ken and Syllas sneak out of their hiding, searching the private study of Theoden once more. While holding their breath, some gas trap still active, they find letters that speak of manacles, teleportation circle maintenance and trade papers between Theoden and a location called SONG.
Meanwhile chaos breaks out in the Restaurant of Theodens tower, as Bruri Ironbeard flies over the crowd of gathered high elves attemting to expose Theodens secret orc fetish by reading his journal. At first, Theoden tries to distract via illusions, and momentarily succeeds. Jeff, breaking free from his hallucinations but still in shackles, grabs a dagger from Shaeveras leg, but unfortunately hurting himself with it. In an attempt to roundhouse-kick Theoden, Jeff misses, sliding over the table into the sun grill. Ken and Syllas make their way down and try to remain unseen. Ken can disrupt various spell castings of Theoden that desperately tries to turn the events to his advantage. Even Shaevera now secretly attempts to influence Theoden from behind, enchanting him to reveal the truth.
In the end, Theoden confesses to Shaeveras mother, the room empties as Theoden commands his guards to kill the intruders, while Shaevera telepathically suggests a choice: fight your way out and meet me on the Sapphire road, or surrender unconditionally to House Rinowen (Shaeveras house). Most of the group surrender, while only Bruri, who was running to the lobby where Shaevera has hidden the players weapons behind the bar, upon returning to the restaurant decides to flee. His intention of him taking Shaeveras first option is misinterpreted as an attempt to betray Shaevera, so she activates a hidden enchantment on the amulets she gave the group, forcing Bruri to fall unconsious.
With bags put over the heads of the "prisoners", Shaevera transports them on a boat northwards through the Sapphire Road, then teleporting everyone to Ema Thalor.
With opened manacles and removed bags, reunited with their weaponry, Shaevera leads the group into the prison, where an omnipresent feeling of being watched lies in the air. Put into a waiting chamber alone to discuss who shall be the one speaking with Leylith, some time passes as the group fall into conversations about things that happened.
Jeff is the one led to Leylith, escorted by Shaevera. As he returns to the others, he tells them of the cell Leylith is being held in, definetly looking like they flame-haired woman they fought and defeated before in Dreya. She did not seem to know anything that happened since her imprisonment centuries ago and was even missing some memories of her time before prison. In the end, Jeff tells of how she was repeatedly mentioning "the island" (Avalon) and how it is the key to everything.
Bruri also receives a message from Lorekeeper Amòn, who reports of him going to Dreya alone, securing "the egg" but walking into a trap by Abraxas. He speaks of a pending danger to the continent as the "Iron Army" has apparently vanished from Dreya.
After telling Shaevera to also warn the high elves, the group now waits for The Floating Seamen to arrive at Ema Thalor to bring them back to Zeantis...
