The Party arrives at Squall's End, a town mostly populated by Goblins. They enter a tavern searching for directions to the ancient Elven Temple. After receiving directions from Garren, they get into a fight with a group of Goblins who attack Nike, and quickly head back for the road.

The party then encounters a fae being along the road, who attempts to rob them, however they quickly dispatch him. Guin searches him and pockets most of the gold without the rest of the party seeing.

Upon reaching the temple, the group encounters various traps, but also great rewards. Nike discovers a music box that induces sleep in all who hear it, an Elvish cookbook, and some kind of shitty wall walking boots. Kodak recovers a magical spear. Guin finds... an orange, and a stick! She also discovers a kicking table, but leaves it alone, since she doesn't want to carry it back. Upon reaching a central chamber, the group encounters a bugbear, and attempt to negotiate, but he attacks them, and they quickly overpower him, and find a magically locked box.

Once the group realizes that the box can only be unlocked by Credence, they return to the Coliseum, where Kodak springs a trap on him, opening the music box instead of the one they were sent for, causing everyone in the room to fall unconscious. Luckily, Kodak wakes first, and is able to wake the others. They open the box by making the still-unconscious Credence lick it, but inside, they find only ancient Elvish taffy. They loot Credence and take the taffy.

On their way out, the party encounter a human, who introduces himself as Mike. He has heard of their exploits and offers them a job as treasure hunters. Kodak and Nike accept readily, but Guin only accepts the offer when Mike agrees to create a shrine in her honor.
