Synopsis

The chapter opens with the main character, worried about his daughter's safety, being forced to consider a strategic approach that won't implicate the Green Forest unfairly. The Green Forest leadership is trying to raise their reputation with the Grand Summit, but the presence of a potential Demonic Cult spy within the Five Peak Stronghold is a major concern. A seemingly drunken character reveals himself to be a spy and a past encounter hints at one of the main character's allies emitting suspicious energy and causing further distrust among the group.
