__NOTOC__
== Synopsis ==
The brothers, along with their dwarven companion Lazar, leave Drunsbarr and encounter a group discussing what to do with two dead bodies and a hostage. Imrik, using invisibility, attacks with a lightning bolt, killing two of them, and the remaining kidnappers surrender. After questioning, they learn nothing about the key in Roxsis but agree to escort the freed hostage, Lady Sahara, to Roxsis. In Roxsis, they learn about the temple of Vlad Orrmore and try to find the key. Anton attempts to cure a cursed child but learns the curse can only be lifted by the death of the one who cast it. The brothers devise a plan to steal the key from the temple during New Year's celebrations, ultimately succeeding despite a golem guarding the key. They retrieve the key, make their escape, and head to a tomb, putting Lazar to sleep to ensure secrecy.
