## Synopsis

### Prologue

Grandma Ninn and the company who agreed to accompany her are traveling toward the Grimm Wood.  After healing herself she went to the village to get help to get Gwen back. The villagers, at first, were not very enthusiastic about getting Gwen back, but Gwen points out that if Gwen could be kidnapped, anybody could be the next victim.  She eventually gets a few volunteers.

### Episode

The Nearlies return to Izarizal’s Tree of Remembrance for tea.  Xenator knows Izarzal was drummed out of the circle of wizards after she protested against how heroes were used and recruited, after something happened to one of her family members.  Izarizal’s furniture and dishes are all enchanted and ambulatory and work to accommodate the group.  The Nearlies finally settle down for tea.  They ask Izarizal questions.  She suggests they can break in and steal information to find out about the Triune. Martin, observing the moving chairs, is inspired and also turns into a chair.

The Nearlies talked about the interrogation. Izarazel knows that they were check for side effect; checking the reckoning, the progression of the curse. They are testing us, which means they know the curse will progress, and they also are planning to make more. Izarazel then discusses the curses. Valeriana is on the progressive track to become a Ware.  She promises to research the rest of the Nearlies’ curses.

Izarazel wants to aid the Nearlies in their quests, and let them use the Tree of Remembrance as a home base.  The group decides that they want to first return Sarah’s ashes back to her family.  Izarazel knows that Sarah is from Selybetha near the outside of the Grimm Wood, the very dangerous place.  The Nearlies are upset at how Sarah’s death was handled, and want to know more about her.

The Nearlies get settled in their new home base and start working on downtime activities, and Martin goes up to the observatory to look through the spyglass.  He sees that the rainbow he created earlier lands in the desert as posited by Von Dark. There is a creature there holding the fruit that was sent along the rainbow earlier.  This gives Martin an idea.  He grabs Dodderfell and together they send the creature a large wheel of cheese that and a never ending water jug that Izarazel had in her kitchen.

### Epilogue

The scene opens on the Hurt by Hexers society. The village as a whole seem to feel that they are well rid of the danger that was Gwen.  The members are made up by those who had been particularly harmed by Gwen’s magical mishaps.  They determine that they could not let Gwen escape to continue to wreak havoc.  They approached Ninn, and said that they would help find Gwen.
