After fighting the footsoldier, the heroes learn more about why Lunegar is afraid of going to the monastery. Tensions rise between Valkira and Nerida as they have different intentions. As they arrive at the monastery, Valkira throws a wrench into the plan and makes off with the gold. Chaos ensues in the monastery as a mysterious stranger disappears with Lunegar and the group makes a grand escape.

Story
As the group runs away from the guards at the monastery, the group tries to find a way to slow down the guards or hide from them. Zhaleska tries to find a place to hide, but bonks her head with no success. Mathias busts the wheel off the wheelbarrow to hold off the guards as Zhaleska, Nerida, and Valkira run ahead. As the gate raises, the guards surround the group, who are soon rescued by the mysterious stranger and Lunegar.

The group blinks away to a new area of Wildtrace, a mountain range with a caved-in area. The group fully gets a view of Lunegar, a humanoid with one half of the face as a firbolg and the other as see-through brass and a glass eye. As Mathias walks over to Lunegar to help him, Giy grabs him and scolds him, demanding to know why Valkira threw a wrench in the plan. Mathias replies that it was an educated decision the group had to make after learning of the monastery's intentions. Nerida chimes in, replying that Giy wasn't trustworthy with the new information. Giy argues with the group, later walking away from the group.

The group helps the stranger with removing the chains from Lunegar. As they take him to the room, they meet another humanoid, a half-orc with black and white hair wearing decorated robes. The stranger offer tea to the group and promptly told the group that he would not have saved the group had it not been for Lunegar to convince him otherwise (thanks to Nerida).
