Hugo is unconscious, Koibu is stabilised, the party is in front of Medusa's lair. The dead minotaur is holding a stolen elven battleaxe, and two miniature statues of goats.

Wren asks to help with locating an elven settlement close. By midday, Grugi guides them to a big dark grove inside the forest. Quin says the place is very familiar and darts into the woods. They follow him to a dark tree, twisted and gnarled, leaking sup through tears, and around it are petrified elves. Wren consoles the boy.
Koibu secretly takes the finger of one of the statues and casts again, it's transmutation, the three radiates dark aura. Gwen and Rouk stats slashing at the three. The boy becomes colder, icy aura forming around him, looking like th shadow that followed Gnoeman through the forest. Rouk and Wren manage to cut down the tree before the boy transforms. In the middle of the rotting three is a corpse of a small boy.

Gurgi wants to eat Gnoeman, Koibu promises him he will get to eat the gnome if he reaches ten points, and lighting the torch gives 1 point. Gurgi is dubbed point-master. 
Inside the cave is a square room, full of statues and bones, and strange shadows. Deeper within they hear noises of slithering. As they step deeper in the room, Rouk hears half steps-half slithers to the west, and a voice rings out. 
A green woman with snakes for hairs steps out from the shadows and takes off her hood.
