Orphen's journey takes a sour turn as a loan shark starts sending a deluge of hired assassins after him! But one of these assassins, Philietta the Fools' Hound, notorious Sorcerer hunter, has her own plans for Orphen. Just what sort of mind-boggling mystery awaits our haphazard party in the remote village of Kink Hall...?

On the road to Kimluck headquarters, Orphen’s group is distracted by a sudden scream piercing the night. They discover the Kamisunda Theater, ancient Celestial ruins where those deemed worthy may discover the truth of the world. But is Orphen worthy?

With the aid of a Death Instructor he met at the Kamisunda Theater, Orphen disguises himself as one of the Kimluck Church faithful and infiltrates the city. On the way to the holy grounds, they find themselves surrounded by Kimluck believers, and a sorcerer intelligence operative comes to their rescue, taking them to an underground waterway he says leads to the holy grounds. But can he really be trusted?
