The descend, content with some bats, and proceed through a resting chamber bearing a tapestry of ancient deities predating the High Faith. The continue to the east, and discover a worship chamber to such gods, as well as Morghild Caedwife, they parley with her, and gain the whereabouts of the Red King, as well as the means to enter into his court - by swearing an oath to the gods of old.
They do so, and step through a revealed passageway behind the altar, only to be confronted with the light of day, and a castle of old in standing condition. They meet with Caedwin the Red King, and convince him they are here to ensure that the bridesmaids of Diera of Dahia are performing their job.
They locate Dahia, and find her in a trance. The bridesmaids become suspicious, but Jake puts them to sleep. In doing so he begins to see ripples in the reality around him, realizing their location is just an illusion. Guards come to investigate, and Black Tom tricks them into leaving once more.
They grab Dahia, and find her to be cursed with a freezing aura, so they make do by swaddling her and hauling her out. They are assaulted by Morghild Caedwife, as well as Guthrun Caedwife, a ghoulish, decayed queen of the damned. They battle with some skeletons, and Jake is slain while the others barely escape.
They return to Aldhelm of Dunmarch and retrieve their reward, but find that Dahia is stuck within her trance.
