After a long rest, during which Yndrus relates their adventures and the situation, a plan hatches. Convince Bloodybeak to attack the Jabberwock. It all goes well until Bloodbeak decides that Phee, who is leading it to the Jabberwock, would make a tasty snack and tries to snatch her from the sky.
Some tricky illusion work gets her to safety while the owl smashes into the side of the castle, waking the Jabberwock and a fight ensues.
The Jabberwock does severe damage to The Party, until Bloodybeak finally arrives and drives it off.
Yndrus Moonwater takes the Unicorn Horn from a downed Mellow Dias and uses it to unfreeze Zybilna - using her True Name of Natasha.
Aside from Snicker-Snack, Zybilna allows The Party to keep the goodies they’d found in the Palace of Heart’s Desire. After some chatting, the group, including Strongheart joins the pavilion of recently unfrozen (and still partying from earlier) crowd outside.
Strongheart and Molliver reunite, and another two of Valor’s Call emerge from the Palace, Ringlerun and Mercion.
Morgort weeps a little in the corner, thinking fondly of Snicker-Snack.
A bit of eavesdropping later, the new companion who recently appeared and Molliver are somber with the news that Zybilna and Iggwilv are one and the same as Natasha. Apparently, Igg is known to be a bit of a villain. Valor’s Call allied with Zybilna, not knowing the connection.
Igg used to consort with Graz’zt, a prince of demons, and has also written books on demonic lore.
Zybilna appears and hangs out with the party for a while; dancing with and eventually inadvertently tossing Phee into the centre of some nearby standing stones.
Volo decides to accompany The Party in order to gather the story of their adventures.
The Party, Amidor, Pollenella, and Volo hop into a fancy carriage pulled by flying glass Pegasus horses, courtesy of Zybilna.
They arrive at Will of the Feywild‘s walking treehouse to grab Star.
Glister, Gleam, Hurly, and Star, all hanging out at Will’s. Phee hugs the treant house while Mell lets Will down gently; her heart is taken by the mysterious Elven prince the party rescued from the series of Fey Beacons.
The Party shares a tearful goodbye with Morgort, who wishes to stay in the Feywild. Hurly also chooses to stay, passing along a pendant to show his brother as evidence of finding him. The Party heads off to the beacon lake area to call upon the magic there and return to the Witchlight Carnival.
Upon returning, the party heads off to find Dirlagraun (Star’s dad), and return his cub.
A night of epic revelry with the carnival was had, and the next morning the party leaves an empty field to return to Madryck.
Looks suspiciously like Madryck was holding out on life just long enough to say goodbye to Phee, as he bequeaths his treasure and soon passes - fading from existence.
