Beryll wakes up, naked, chained up in the basement where Snitch had been held last episode. Mr. Flatbrook then comes down to ask Beryll how he would like to die. Mr. Flatbrook considers Beryll too important to just disappear, so they will stage a death scene, likely against some bandits to make Beryll look heroic.
