Trees crash to the ground as a burning spear strikes where Esta stood, and flaming deer leap from the forest. They are trapped between burning trees with a sea of flames behind them.They narrowly escape, with Anja and Wyll barely surviving.They hear a whisper instructing them to follow the river to free someone. A head in the flames speaks: “I am the flame, I am the prisoner here. Free me from this prison by following the river, and you may continue to your destination. Refuse, and you will never leave this forest, burning forever.”They explore the tower on the bridge to rest. Kruggli and Wyll find a pouch with seeds and a paper written in an unreadable language. The seeds reveal visions, according to a journal.They interrogate the devil, who serves the Ragesians. His mission was to ensure they never left the forest alive. He aims to let the forest burn entirely. The devil casts a spell and vanishes.The group takes a long rest.January 6thThe party travels to Esta's old village, finding her house burned to the ground.

They investigate and are attacked by elven spirits (ghasts).A hatch opens at the tree roots, leading them down. Next to the statue of Anyariel, they find a Shahalesti soldier and a young elf dressed as a priest lying near the statue.

The Shahalesti soldier reveals the Shahalesti set the forest on fire, and the priest lying next to him had extracted that information from him.The Shahalesti falsely accused the Ragesians.
