- 00:01:04 Recap (spoken by Brennan): Greeley, the villains approaching the Underworld, Keena of Everdeep, the cedar smell, the witch hunter, Zaria Hex's face in the mist, Gargrim, the River of Sorrow, the whale, the undead, Uncle Kerwyn, Nyruth and the stolen soul, D'Hamia's temporary soul, Gertrude's tea, Shalila's revelation about Inira, Roy's price, the crimson storm clouds and the Tower of Tombs.
- 00:06:09 The party decides how to beat Shalila to the Tower of Tombs: follow her, split up (rejected), impersonate Thanara or Shalila, or ask Nyruth.
- 00:12:56 Gertrude confesses that she came down hoping to have her soul taken, and now wants to live and to plead for her curse to be lifted; the party talks about what to ask Thanara and whether the dead want to return.
- 00:19:23 Vote: back to the Longshadow Bazaar, to be honest with Nyruth.
- 00:20:00 Nyruth's Curios: Gertrude broadcasts her thoughts with Detect Thoughts; Persuasion with advantage, a natural 20; Nyruth trades the soul of Oliver Leiber for the corrupted Wraith Clasp and a flying carpet for carrying a green vial for Gertrude's curse.

- 01:28:06 Twyla thinks about her Ring of Invisibility and the Seed of the All-Blossom; entry to the tower; Constitution saves.
- 01:30:33 Inside the tower: the breath of the goddess, strange halls; Kerwyn proposes splitting up; the crystal ball.
- 01:35:28 The crystal ball finds Wallace; the party captures him with a net.
- 01:41:12 Wallace names the throne room and its three locks and three keys: the Pool of Morning Light, the Pit of Suffering and the Hall of Fairy Tapestry; the party splits.
- 01:45:35 Pool of Morning Light: Troyánn and Kerwyn; Troyánn undresses, shoots a seeking arrow at the key and dives; Wisdom save 8; the faces of those she hunted; Kerwyn fetches the key.

- 01:56:57 Hall of Fairy Tapestry: Twyla and Princess; waterfall, umbrella, Titania in the tapestry; Buddy Bear knocks the key off the table.

- 02:13:41 Back at the Pool: Troyánn finds a Wraith Clasp on Kerwyn's clothes and a book of matches smelling of cedar; Keena arrives and Kerwyn reveals his deal.
- 02:19:18 Troyánn fights alone: initiative, ice and wind from the pool, the key, Kerwyn's sword; she escapes down a fountain.
- 02:26:48 Reunion by the pool; healing; Troyánn tells the others of Kerwyn.
- 02:31:42 The three locks are opened.
- 02:32:47 Thanara's throne room; Gertrude tells the party she has spoken with Thanara; each states a wish; Thanara offers four boons and sees eight mortals; Keena, Kerwyn, Zaria Hex and Morgan walk out from behind her throne.
