== tl;dr ==
Erin saves Pebblesnatch from the Redfang Five. Horns pair up with Halfseekers, Silver Swords with Griffon Hunt, then they switch. Calruz is alive.

== Synopsis ==
[[Erin Solstice|Erin]] and staff are swamped serving all these freshly arrived [[adventurers]]. A quick conference between team leaders and [[Liscor]]’s leadership about how to proceed is held. Teams are informed of the peculiarities and laws. [[Wondrous Fare|Magical food]] is advertised and sold. 

Erin is dissatisfied with the current defences of [[The Wandering Inn|the inn]] and ropes [[Numbtongue]] and [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] into brainstorming some. [[Klbkch]] offers to send some [[Free Hive|Soldiers and Workers]], but to keep it secret. 

The [[Redfang Elite Warriors|hobs]] are off two minds what to do about the captured [[Cave Goblins|cave goblin]]. They very reluctantly decide to kill her, just after similarly calling her [[Pebblesnatch]] to avoid Erin. Erin catches on to the shrieking goblin’s fate and faces off against them. By belaboured chess analogy she conveys that their choice is not binary, that life isn’t a zero-sum game, not for anyone, despite it being often treated as such. 

The dungeon raid commences. [[Ksmvr]] really struggles with the water. [[Ceria Springwalker|Ceria]] asks everyone to keep an eye out for [[Calruz]], despite the low odds. The [[Horns of Hammerad|Horns]] and [[Halfseekers]] pair up, but don’t gell well together. The former are too high strung for the latter’s laid-back approach. [[Griffon Hunt]] and the [[Silver Swords]] had similar problems, despite both being gold-ranked. They switch pairings, with Griffon Hunt’s methodical and pragmatic approach being much more in line with the Horns’. The raid finds far less monsters than expected. Ceria leaves a pictogram for the possibly alive Calruz to find. 

Calruz ''is'' alive; he recognises the symbol, and thereby its author.
