Plot Summary:
Three weeks have passed and Governor Urit Syle is awake and walking around. He has abandoned his mansion, which have been converted to homes for the homeless. Raufel is recovering from the devastation of the great wave. The Tattered Sail has been fully rebuilt. Crime is down. Nitsuj is staying with the Governor after the disappearance of Jerrot Valmir. On his way back to Raufel, Bubo witnessed a caravan attacked and destroyed by orcs.

Tenoch awakens to discover a letter tucked under his ear. The letter is from Starheart who explains that she was returned to Copperforge to do some soul searching. Bubo returns from Copperforge after collecting the bounty on Kord Elkas from Lord Elb Gabber. Arriving at the Tattered Sail, Bubo is met by Tenoch who is upset that he took Kord before they finished their deal to investigate the Black Cloaks.

A scrawny human named Ophelia Brokebarrow bumps into Tenoch and asks for money. She was a ward to the captain of the Eel’s Jelly. She is searching for the missing red box she was in charge of and she saw that the party had scavenged from the ship’s wreckage. Urit Syle arrives and tells them that the city needs a loan from Queen Sleekrun of Copperforge to help rebuild and reshape the city to be more egalitarian. He also tells them that there is an anonymous miraculous healer in the city.

The party travels to the Culvert in search of weapons, bombs, and Parn Hill, who was healed by the mysterious healer. They buy some health potions, flaming arrows, and poisons at Pink’s Pingus and Pawns. Nitsuj has his black potion identified: it’s a poison, you place it in your drink and your enemy’s drink and only the enemy will die. Tenoch has his three black orbs identified; they grant invisibility for one hour. Bubo stays outside because Pink is still angry about the last time they visited the shop.

Two doors down is the armory owned by Parn Hill. Tenoch purchases two bombs. The party asks him about his healing and he shows them that the healer has created a new arm for him out of silver. They make a deal in Parn to find the identity of the healer. In exchange, Parn Hill enlists the group to find his son, Gaff Hill and his mother, uncle, and two sisters. They had traveled to Copperforge to buy piping to fix up the damaged pipes in Raufel. They were supposed to return 2 days ago.

From the description given by Parn, the party realizes that the healer is likely to be Jerrot Valmir. They decide to track him down because he never paid them for the red box. While using the locate object spell on Jerrot’s robe, the party is led to a ruined tavern. Before they can investigate further, a curly-haired, orange-skinned woman accosts Bubo: it is Tadame Menadier (character drop). Ophelia charms her into leaving to make them some tea.

Following a fluttering noise, the party investigates an abandoned wine cellar beneath the tavern. The fluttering they heard is a hoard of homunculi. They find Jerrot healing a child and magically creating a new leg for the girl. He uses a silvery liquid (that was in the red box) to create the new limb. Ophelia reveals herself to be a tiefling (Captain Ora Stone of the Eel’s Jelly) in order to get the full payment from Jerrot. Jerrot explains that he has been hiding from the Black Cloaks, followers of Kloht, who would kill him if they found him.

Bubo asks him if he knows anything about the green gems. Jerrot tells them the story of the Sahlites. Sahl had 6 children (the gods of the earth) but he also had a second set of children, his daughters, the Sahlites. They live in the stars and when they are needed to deliver his word, they come crashing down to earth. Jerrot knew the meteor was going to fall and that is why he was in Rafuel: to battle the forces of death.

At that moment, Tadame Menadier (another character drop) returns with the tea. Enraged by being found, Jerrot uses his abilities to command her to drown herself in her own tea. He threatens the party and demands they keep his secret. The party agrees and also agrees to kill any Black Cloaks that find. The Mad Hatter (character drop) appears and pours tea into Tadame Menadier's mouth. Moved by Tenoch’s words, Jerrot saves Tadame Menadier. Vincent Vega (character drop) walks in, looking for Jerrot’s healing for his son. Victor Hugo (character drop) arrives to sell his book. Fed up with all these disruptions, Jerrot commands Tadame Menadier and Victor Hugo to fuck themselves to death. Disgusted, the party slowly backs away.

Ora, needing funds to build a new ship, agrees to work with the party. Nitsuj tries to read her thoughts, but only finds that she is shaken by the image of the hurt child. They make their way back to the Tattered Sail and inform the governor that they were not able to find the healer, but that he should be left alone. They rest before heading north to Copperforge.

Fun Moments:
This episode marks the first appearance of a character named Parn. There will be more.

Tadame Menadier is dropped as a character twice, along with the Mad Hatter, Vincent Vega, and Victor Hugo. Danny hates it all.

Danny converts a character drop of Kilgrave into a power held by Jerrot.
