While the crew is knocked out by the effects of the arclight wave, caused by the destruction of the lighthouse, five orc slaves take matters into their own hands. Unaffected by the magical wave of electricity, they can escape THE HOLE, an underground furnance used for burning garbage and punishing bad slaves. The five orcs are able to kill some of the remaining wardens that seem noticably weaker than before the arclight protocol. With their diverse skillset and a lot of luck, they are able to rescue the knocked out adventurers lying in front of the north camp.
Information is exchanged between the slaves and the Inconvenience Removal Agency as the remaining songblade guards are defeated. Jeff is able to retrieve his precious magical rope as well as the young prince hostage that is still unconscious. Cabuga takes the griffon (Murderclaw) and a sending stone to Fort Valyssa, but is knocked out of the sky half way by the Cavalier. The party slits once again, providing some aid to Cabuga while the rest takes the freed slaves from the North Camp to the South Camp to liberate the rest of the orcs.
Jeff, Drem Greenglen and Gawrth are able to kill the Cavalier together with Cabuga and her summoned demon. Then move into the fort to signal the Floating Seamen to pick them up. Only Drem turns around to ride Sylvie back to the South Camp.
Florian, Happy and the orcs successfully talk the remaining wardens into a surrender, then discuss what to do with the elves. The arguments dance on the line between letting them live or killing all evidence. In the end, the wardens are thrown into the cells that were once occupied by the now liberated slaves. For some reason, the group also prepares a meal for the captured elves and then leaves with all the former slaves.
