After two intense hours she finally reaches an intact section of the tunnel. Jester polymorphs herself into a Dire Honeybadger and begins to dig through the collapsed tunnel. Plans quickly change and they begin to investigate the collapsed tunnels where the Krynn were last seen. Meanwhile, Beau interrogate local guards to find out that Yezzah was actually seen being carried off by Krynn and not by the Cerberus assembly as the Nein feared. Nott and Jester return to old Edith’s house and ask Edith to take Luke and run to Allfield where their friend Bryce will care for them. The Nein then begin to formulate a plan to try and locate then rescue Yezzah from the Cerberus assembly. He fears that the same is being done to the captured Yezzah. He repeats Veth’s name, and says “my name was Bren Aldric Emendrud.” The rest of the Nein sit in silent shock as Caleb describes how the Cerberus assembly broke his spirit and mind and drove him to madness. art by: quietly speaks up, taking Nott’s hands.

After a year of horrifying servitude, Nott ran away and found Caleb and the Nein. A goblin necromancer performed a horrible magic on Veth’s soul and reincarnated her as the goblin girl named Nott. They decided to kill her in retaliation for her attack and drowned her in the very river the Nein sit beside now.

Never knowing if they escaped, she was captured and tortured by the goblins. She distracted the goblins while Yezzah and Luke ran. Veth watched as her son began to starve to death in captivity and formed a plan to help them escape. During a particularly rough crop year, the goblins near Felderwin attacked the city and captured Veth, Yezzah and Luke. But she found love in a brilliant young alchemist named Yezzah. Veth had a hard life in Felderwin, being teased and tormented for her looks and odd behavior. She reveals that while they know her as Nott the Brave, a goblin girl, she remembers a life as a halfling woman named Veth Brenotto. She brings them to the edge of the river and she begins to answer all the questions the Nein have. Jester and Beau begin asking questions but Nott is hesitant to answer and asks to find a quiet place to talk. Once Nott is assured that the woman and child are safe she returns to the Nein. The woman named Edith and Luke both seem familiar with the halfling Nott is disguised as, and even name her Veth.

Nott disguises herself as a young halfling woman and asks to see a boy named Luke. She leads the Nein to an elderly woman’s home.

Nott has found an old friend’s alchemy shop burned to the ground with signs of a struggle in the rubble. The Mighty Nein have arrived in Felderwin to find the town in ruin after a devastating attack by Krynn warriors.
