After returning from the Windler House, Drakor Ironfist was struck with the red pox and was being nursed back to health by Will's mother, the former wildseer druid, Morna MacGruber.

• Paradox, newly awakened from his long magical slumber, was briefed on the situation that they found themselves in as newcomers to the village of Ragged Hollow.
• Will, Elara and Paradox set out for the Gloam Wood to visit the cottage of the suspected wytch Beatrix and then on to the barrow of the hag, Orla Greylocks, to fetch the magical chain that would allow them to access the belltower of the Church of Saint Prudentia and free the trapped villagers and clergy.
• The PCs entered the Gloam Wood and too the eastern path that brought them to the cottage of the mysterious wytch Beatrix. The odd cottage built against the giant forest oaks was surrounded by a blackberry bramble fill of thorns that had trapped a small goblin named Rask. Only Paradox spoke goblin and learned that Rask was sent by his master at the shadowy fey Goblin Market to steal some of the magically delicious cookies baked by Beatrix.
• The PCs spoke with Beatrix and learned that she was twinned with the ancient and evil forest hag, Orla Greylocks. Beatrix promised the party that she would aid them with information and assistance if they would destroy her evil sister and return the family brooch to her from Orla's lair.
