The Warden
The Warden is possessed by a dwarven adventurer named Vax. The warden's private quarters had a blinking dot on Roland's map — something is kept in the armory (a tentacled creature with one eye, possibly a beholder-variant).
Grazzt Appears
Grazzt (demon prince of pleasure) manifested to Othorion in the courtyard, disguised as Valeria → Prisoner 218 → Ellistrae. The deal signed: Othorion goes to Sloobludop, protects Blip Blop Pod's ritual, and his memories are returned.
Elminster
Elminster appeared on the authority of Ranaer Neverember to free Prisoner 218 (Lireal) into the party's custody. He told Othorion: "Memories have weight. Let what's gone return to you when you are ready."
The Escape
The party's extraction from Revel's End was the conclusion of the B-arc infiltration (Sessions B16–B18). The escape was planned and executed as a coordinated operation, and included at minimum:
- Nezznar killed by Kavu — Prisoner 243 was eliminated as a deliberate part of the escape plan. The exact strategic reason is underdocumented (distraction, threat removal, or prior arrangement), but the kill was intentional.
- Selene and Hailey extracted — arranged to be escorted to Lonelywood separately.
- Lireal freed — released to party custody via Elminster's intervention, separately from the escape proper.
- Party departed by dogsled — provisions and sleds acquired via Robert Hidswell during the planning phase (B18).
