tl;dr[edit | edit source]

Klbkch volunteers the Free Antinium to rebuild Erin's inn. Erin agrees to use copper, not iron, nails. This allows Frost Faeries entry. Erin makes hamburgers.

Erin stands in front of her ruined inn. In short order, the guardsmen who notified her, and then her friends from Liscor arrive and they all assess the situation in the same way: The inn's main room is near-irreparably destroyed, at least with the means available in winter.

They analyze the cause for the destruction and find out that Krakk bark only explodes in warmer temperatures, while the wood always stays unharmed from the explosion.

Klbkch offers an Antinium workforce, while Erin reasons to use denuded Krakk wood for the reconstruction. Since rebuilding is as difficult as building a wholly new inn, Erin decides to abandon the location and chooses a hill rather close to Liscor to rebuild. Soon, the promised Antinium arrive and set about to properly rebuild the inn until midnight.

Meanwhile, Ceria is away with Relc and Klbkch. As she talks to the Antinium, he makes her ponder her future.

Back at the foundations of the new inn, Frost Faeries begin to harrass the Workers until Erin negotiates with them: They are going to be allowed as Erin's guests in the future, and she will not use iron nails in construction, only copper ones. After the deal is struck, the Faeries fly away.

While the new inn is built by Antinium, Olesm and Selys help by rescuing and carrying over things and supplies from the old location, and Erin cooks for them all - her very first own hamburgers in the Innworld.

The only thing missing for Erin now, is Toren's return, but she had told him to leave.
