Episode Summary
The episode begins with Belrun warning his comrades of the incoming attack, and Aratal creating the image of an ogre using ‘’minor illusion’’. Immeral sees bandits approaching on top of Worgs, so Aratal creates a fog around the camp to obscure their vision. With the image of the ogre scaring the enemies, the Heroes jump from the fog and surprise them, initiating combat.

As the battle draws to a close, Aratal unleashes a Magic Missile on the final Worg and Bandit duo, killing the animal and pinning its rider. Having heard them mention Clara Longstride, Fillius begins questioning the fallen Bandit, but he does not get any clues as to her location. In the pocket of the Bandit however, is a hastily scribbled note reporting on the Heroes’ movements, suggesting someone is watching them.

Fillius gives Myra the opportunity to make her first kill, but she refuses to make it quick and instead begins torturing the captive Bandit. With Iskander protesting about the way she is acting, Belrun swiftly shoots the enemy in the head, denying Myra of her kill. The episode ends with her shooting the Ranger a furious look.
