In the basement below the Temple of Lathander, Ilvalin, Tross, Aneurin, Aziz and Walschud the svifnerblin stonesinger face off against Dawngreeter Verini and her pet celestial beast of great holiness.

Aziz yells out: "Get her!", and Ilvalin rushes in to seize the High Priestess of Lathander. A furious battle ensues, and the party is joined surprisingly by a druid from the sewers, who has been stalking this celestial beast.

Sadly, the beast makes short work of the party, although Ilvalin slays the High Priestess - Ilvalin manages to escape, as does Walschud, but he is captured by priests rushing in. Methor, the druid from the sewers bleeds out from his wounds, and Tross, Aneurin and Aziz are knocked unconscious, but stabilized by the Lathandrian clergy.

As they come to, Aziz deceives the priests into thinking that Aziz (who they know as the reformed acolyte Benga) attempted to rescue the Dawngreeter from terrible robbers in the night, and he is healed and hailed as a hero. After resting a bit, and scouting to see if he might save his compatriots, Aziz decides to simply beat a hasty retreat back to Riverside-territory.

Aneurin and Tross wake up to strong guard by the senior surviving priest (a man named Sufyaan) - and many temple acolytes. They await their fate stoically, as the priests send for help from the Red Hands, in whose territory the temple is.

At last, the Red Hands arrive. Four half-orcs with evil smiles on their faces... And a leader. A tall and powerful woman named Mazoga the Fair. Before Aneurin and Tross are led off into the night, Mazoga plunges her dagger into the heart of Stonesinger Walschud.
