Thwak gives a speech, and then leads the brainwashed mobs into battle against the dwarven adepts. They are routed with 50 dead adepts, 450 other Caer people, and 2 dead trolls. We find Donk, and use the uninjured to bring the injured inside. Thwak is convinced that the spidermages conditions have been met, and sends a message off (with Kenisha) to tell them so. Tristain keeps people from beating each other up with psychotherapy. Jenna attempts to keep order The next morning, Steven tries to teach them about spell matrixes. Donk's mistress does her Karma Ritual and seems to suddenly have her memories back from before, and spotty memories of after. 8 hours later, all the non-mage adepts are fine. The mages are taking a bit longer, since they were burning off taint. Everyone tries to get their heads and get things together. The beastmasters go off to try and find a way to feed people. Thwak sent some windling scouts off to, well, scout. They brought back a brace of rabbits, the back half of a boar, and the ear of the Mayor of Camrish. Jenna went off to find Speaks With Stone. She explained that since the message was written, Thwak had made a deal with a Passion. Speaks with Stone said that it was not fair retribution for the Myrkridia to have Thwak and Camrish's problems with Passions in addtion to their own. He thought for a few moments. "Decision made. Bring him to me" Speaks with Stone gave Thwak's horns to Jenna, and said that Jenna is his "honor's new home". Then, as Jenna and Thwak were coming back (Jenna with Thwak's horns in his hand) darkness appears near the Earth Tunnel mine shaft. There's a flamethrower, 7 ft across and 25 meters long sweeping . We managed to get the people out who had been in the chambers, and went back for reconnasaince. The people from the Earth Tunnels appeared to be trying to defend against both us and the spider-mages attacking through the front of the water tunnels, joining with the last lines of defenders of Camrish. Thwak began climbing up the ladder, taking it down behind him. T'aarish tried to get him to go back down and save the people. Donk asked for 10 minutes to go down and try to save Thwak. He came back without him, and Tristain blew the entrance.
