We decide to head back to Dunmeshi Castle. Sarthisis simply thinks it, and a portal opens to the castle.

About a month has passed since we left. The king says that the ruling council of Darnya was possessed by a cabal of demons. This is why they were acting hostile recently. Aliga went and figured this out (likely meaning that he slew all of the affected council members), and is staying there to help out as the loss of the council has caused a power vacuum.

We meet with the king and Josephus, and they let us know that the forces are mustering to take on Skraag, but it will take a while. The Jungle Protector, Black Mountain Brewing Brigade, the Wood-Elves, the Corsair Queen, and the Kingdom of Hamsburg will likely come to our aid.
