Our heroes come together once more and start to piece together parts of the puzzle. They decide that the Stickl are after King Agus' blood. And they determine that the Stickl will attack through the underground sewers and escape tunnels below the nobles' quarters where our heroes have found plenty of evidence from them. So they set out and go into the tunnels below the nobles' quarters.
With Gacokia in the lead and Clorissa sounding more sane they come to a fork in the tunnel. They hear noise ahead of them and proceed. But as Khylsen, the last in line, enters the fork, they are ambushed by five stickle. At first, the stickle press the group hard, but eventually, the superior power of Khylsen helps the party win through.
They move down the tunnel, aware that they are under the king's very own castle. They find a ladder they climb up to a new level but still below the king's castle. They fight more stickl and discover a captive who wants to fight with them. There is some distrust of the captive, but he says he knows how to get to the king, so they let him come along.
The captive leads them up another ladder that exits behind the king's throne. They hear battle and emerge to defend the king. The king's men fight well, but they are soon knocked back. Khylsen, Gacokia, Dernon and Clorissa join them while Airk and the captive hold back. The king's guards try to escort the king away, leaving the company on their own.
As the company fight on against the stickl and giant stickl, they hear screams from the king's escorts. Airk is able to decipher that the captive was indeed a traitor, and he sets out to save the king. Battle wages both in the throne room and in the escape area behind the throne.
The company is hard pressed, till at last the stickl fall to the awesome might of our heroes, and the king is saved.
