The party heads to Brigand’s Tollway to see if any of the bandits have seen Telemy Hill. Luckily, Callie a small haregon has seen it, and points to it off in the distance. While there, Thala tells the brigands that the group are still good despite “working” for Bavlorna. They take the night to sleep, and while preparing for rest, Gimble, a tiny sprite talks to Arawa.
He asks if she is really a servant of Zybilna, which she assures him. Wanting to help, he offers to come along and help bring the Witch Queen back. Arawa accepts and Gimble joins as her (child soldier) partner.
The following morning before they leave, the group nominates a brigand named Thradal to be in charge, and prevent Arden Longscarf from trying to take over again. They pretend to hand Thradal the gold pin to use to threaten Arden, but retain it just in case (also because Bother rarely wants to give up shiny things).
Traveling to Telemy Hill, they encounter some marsh swamp gas bubbles. While most try to avoid it, Thala gets caught in a popped bubbled. She seems okay, but things seem to taste terrible to her for a while.
They make it to Telemy Hill where they quickly piece together the willows seem to speak for the mountain. They offer the party time to sit under their branches and relax, but the party insists on finding Jingle Jangle. On the mention of Jingle Jangle’s name, Telemy Hill gets excited and tells the party how their friend is so sad after someone stole her truffles. They ask the group to try to cheer her up and say she is at the top of the hill.
There, is a keyhole shaped entrance to a cave. Inside, they meet Jingle Jangle, an adorable goblin who speaks in the third person. They’re able to cheer her up by giving her some truffles and become her new best friends. With that, they’re able to get the key to Sir Talavar’s cage and free the little dragon. He gives his thanks and his rapier (Dagger) and flies off to inform the Summer Queen of what’s happened in Prismeer and hopefully send reinforcements.
They then head back to the Brigands and get the group to agree to only steal from rich people, before heading back to Downfall. There Clapperclaw and a repaired balloon to travel in are waiting to transport the group to their new adventure in Thither.
