== Plot Summary ==
While Cal is giving a mandatory HR lecture on sexual harassment in the FBK Guildhall, Avarice and Claire wander off to check out a shiny new poster on the job board. Cal notices the cambion's lack of attention right away and calls her out on it, but she gives him sass as per usual, and Claire easily avoids notice during the commotion. The two adventurers manage to skip the test by agreeing to go to the Stained Glass Gauntlet advertised on the poster, and Cal accompanies them as an auditor - though he already audited Ava, she needs to be audited again due to her numerous infractions on her last adventure. 
The three arrive at the line for the stained glass gauntlet, where they meet some people also taking the gauntlet - Indimness and Flops McGee - with varying opinions on the FBK. When their turn comes up, they meet Saint Lucia, a man seemingly made of stained glass wearing a suit with gold trim. He tells them a bit about the gauntlet and asks them what they want as a prize. While he talks, Claire picks his pocket, and finds a small glass object. Cal notices and takes it from her, only to get bitten by a tiny dragon made of stained glass that promptly flies to Claire's shoulder. Saint Lucia explains that the stained glass dragon sometimes picks a contestant and sticks with them during the day. 
They begin the gauntlet, arriving in a room where they draw a card and spin a wheel to determine which challenge they will get. The first challenge involves Punnett, a ghost, and a knife, and subsequent challenges involve puzzles and glowing countdowns. Ava is hesitant to enter each room due to the amount of glowing stained glass and always asks Claire to go first, much to the others' chagrin. At some point, they enter a room with a glowing emerald orb in the centre. Ava, of course, refuses to touch it and Cal shadows. Claire tries to push Ava toward it, encouraging her to face her fears, but ends up stumbling into the orb herself. 
The three then switch bodies - Cal goes into Ava's body, Ava goes into Claire's, and Claire goes into Cal's. Cal immediately switches back, as he does not want to be Ava, so he switched with Claire. Claire, now in Ava's body, realizes how it feels to be the centre of attention with Ava's striking features and fiendish powers. She also feels Ava's aversion to stained glass as almost a burning feeling and understands why she does not want to go first. She attempts to charm Ava in Claire's body, but the spell fails, though Ava offers to do her a favour if she ever asks. 
The three adventurers switch back into their original bodies and enter the next challenge, where their abilities are swapped! Cal and Claire fight each other (with Ava and Cal's abilities respectively) as Ava repeatedly bangs her head on the statue in the middle of the room, exasperated from getting a human's abilities and seeing others use her powers. Eventually, Cal solves the puzzle in the room by giving the statue a rolled up page from his notebook on sexual harassment. 
Now with their original bodies AND abilities, the adventurers enter a challenge where they have to knock each other out. Claire and Ava go first, Claire punching Ava in the face and then pretending to be knocked out by Ava's retaliating blow. Cal sees through Claire's deception, but both the crowd and Ava believe Claire was actually knocked out. They then enter a room with a stained glass dragon head and tail - Ava and Cal shoot the head with an Eldritch Blast and pull the tail (respectively), then progress to the next room, where they encounter children in line for ice cream. 
Ava terrorizes the children while Claire attempts to feed some ice cream to the tiny stained glass dragon on her shoulder, who began to act strangely. The ice cream then gathers in one spot and turns into a monster the adventurers fight! Super Crud arrives and melts the ice cream with his punches while Ava cuts it up from the outside and Claire dives in, eating "Super Crud-flavoured" ice cream while she cuts the monster up from the inside. 
Cal returns. The adventurers finish the gauntlet and meet with Saint Lucia to receive their prizes. Claire asks for an Abacus, Cal for a Ring of Protection, and Avarice did not want something specific - she wanted power and influence. Cal is suspicious of Saint Lucia, and he discovers through the tiny stained glass dragon that Saint Lucia is in fact a fully-grown stained glass dragon. They have a conversation in Draconic where Saint Lucia assures Cal that he does not want to eat the people who take his gauntlet - he just hoards their happiness and excitement from doing the gauntlet. Ava was listening the entire time - she cast Comprehend Languages - and agrees to overlook Saint Lucia's crime of forcing Punnett to be bound and gagged, since he is a dragon. For her prize, he offers her a stained glass pyramid, showing that she has his favour - this may make a difference if she encounters Saint Lucia's allies/enemies. 
Claire does not want the tiny stained glass dragon, so it flies to Ava, who now has two tiny dragons perched on her! Avarice finally receives the first positive note from Cal - in facing her fear of stained glass, she grew.
