He agrees to stay where he is to avoid being bound and carried off to the dungeons. Ka'thrain says to the party "The snake is moving and has awakened the curse of Ryleh. You must stop the snake." When questioned about Ryleh, all he will say is "Ryleh was one of the first prophets."

The monster tears the party apart, but Daraek inspires fortitude and the party vanquishes the monster with no casualties.
  • The party bursts in on Tashia and her cronies having sacrificed many people and were in the process of sacrificing Lady Felice of House Tartaros. The party has no choice but to kill them. When things start to take a turn for the worse, a Winged Devil woman steps out of the place where Megaera is standing, and wreaks havoc among the remaining enemies.
