- Razul is forced to strike a deal with a demon, who promises a chance to escape in exchange for "a favor"
- The demon replenishes Razul's magic, which Razul uses to have a guard in the slaver's camp quietly unlock the cage he, Hakim, and the other slaves are in, as they escape.
- Razul, Hakim, and the ensorcelled guard escape into the wilds, but find themselves trapped in a sunken cistern for shelter during a massive thunderstorm.
- They awaken at night to be attacked by 8 skeletal warriors in the cistern.
- Razul shoves the ensorcelled guard into the skeletons as he and Hakim manage to escape into the storm, forced to spend a night under some trees and are soaked, but alive.
- Return to the cistern in the morning, the weather clear, only to find the guard's desiccated form, left to rot.
- The duo continue to trudge through heavy rains, as they come across one warrior surrounded by an entourage.
- The warrior introduces himself as Valahil, the pit fighter, and his entourage are his servants and admirers.
- He boasts of his victories, but is uninterested in helping the duo, merely pointing them indirection of Alahamara and leaves to adventure into the wilds.
- Razul and Hakim head in the direction pointed by the pit fighter, and finally the volcano where they met first crests over the horizon of the vast plains.
- They turn southwest from it, towards where they know the town of Alahamara resides, and run into some bison herders who threateningly raise their slings, herding bison.
- They give the herders wide berth and continue along the way, and finally reach the town of Alahamara, selling off whatever goods and treasures they had found since the start of their adventures.
- They finally rest, eating a hearty meal and refilling their rations before getting some lodging to sleep for the night.
- They awaken the next morning as the season finally changes, the summer being replaced with crisp autumn air and the ground coated with the first snowfall of the season.
Current Level: Razul 3, Hakim 2
