Synopsis
The party gathers at the tavern to recover and discuss the battle that has just transpired. Why were the Trevyll here? What was their plan? Why this town? Answers are not forthcoming, however, and the party does a quick final tour of the town before Jeffrey, head of the guard, informs them they are no longer welcome on account of Jeidobii's new "pet" having decimated their grain stores as well as eaten many dogs, cats, and... horses.

Making camp just outside of town, Jeidobii concentrates and focuses on a way to make it up to the townspeople. Burakubuu joins him in suportive meditation. Meanwhile, Denahi dreams that Jaren is closing in on her. They wake the next morning to see that Jeidobii's efforts have produced a lush and fruitful crop of vegetables and fruits for the townspeople, and the party departs for Rija. They stop to rest and Denahi makes a seemingly failed attempt at recalling Nico, her dragon familiar.

Dejected, she rests once more and dreams of a cauldron. Within it, a flame. Suddenly the entire party is awoken by a commotion and see Denahi levitating, burning with energy. A phoenix manifests; it is Nyco, reborn. Denahi comes to her senses, feeling powerful and also free of a great weight that has rested upon her heart. The party approaches Bozengosh in the midst of a siege by an orcish recon force. They give chase and follow the orcs back to their camp where Nyco proves a powerful ally. Unfortunately, the leader of the orc regiment explodes himself and any clues as to their intentions or origins in a massive gunpowder blast.

Deciding there would be no merit in turning back to Bozengosh to inquire, the party continues onward to Rija.
