The battle against the hydra reaches its dramatic conclusion—and the outcome leaves the party stunned.

With victory finally within reach, the promise of knighthood becomes reality. But when given the opportunity to claim the title for himself, Treyvor makes an unexpected decision.

A second chance soon emerges: another tournament round that could allow someone else to earn the rank of Knight. Some members of the party are eager to seize the opportunity. Others are far less convinced.

As tensions rise and exhaustion settles in, the party returns to the tavern for what should be a well-earned night of rest.

But something moves in the shadows.

Who will be granted the title of Knight?

Why did Treyvor refuse it?

And what danger is waiting in the darkness?
