Book 3 Chapter 6

The party quickly binds the slumbering assassin, and when Dorian's sleep spell ends, he wakes up. Although the party tries to interrogate him, he says that he is unable to answer any of their questions because he is physiscally incapable of helping the King's enemies. Because he is not useful at all, they dispose of him. The party heads back to the blacksmith's shop, where this whole thing started. Dorian, having taken all of the gear from Esiel's doppelganger, lets his mastiffs get Esiel's scent in an attempt to find him. After a short time following the scent, the mastiffs stop at a garden not too far from the temple of Pelor.

The party looks around, finding an illusory tree which is hiding a square shaped hole. They drop down the 10 foot fall, finding a small dug out hallway with a door at the far end. Drusilia picks the lock with ease, revealing a bare room with a hooded figure at the end, standing over an unconscious Esiel hanging off of chains on the wall. They kill the hooded figure, and rush Esiel off to the temple of Pelor so that he can be healed. Adria tries her best, but in a cruel twist of fate, Esiel has lost one of his eyes and ears.

The party gets a guard to make an appointment with the Lord Commander to talk about the threat the changelings pose to Hammerfast, and then they head to bed to go to the trial the next day.

They wake up at 7 AM and head to the Hall of Justice for Sir Charles' trial, where he is sentenced to death. Will death finally silence Charles, or will he spew obscenities even in death?
