The doors upstairs open one by one, and each one costs something. A master bedroom holds a man with coins on his eyes who died ten years ago and looks like he died this morning — one bed, slept in on both sides. A chest defends itself with a poisoned needle and gives up a letter from the devil to the lady of the house; what it does not give up is bones. The sons are lovely, dim, and firm on one point: Mama’s room is verboten. And behind the moaning door — Ireena, whom we never told anything, keeping vigil over a broken girl. So Drew finally tells her everything, and Ireena answers with the secret that breaks the campaign open: the bones are behind the library. Then the lady of the house says two quiet words, the house comes apart, and a paladin exits via the roof bellowing blasphemy while a rogue becomes a baby. At the ruined church, for once, we win — and the ground answers. Then the bill: most of a priest returned, a letter confiscated, a festival moved to tomorrow, a hanging scheduled on our word. We wake at level five, lose a wereraven, gain a horse named Clancy — and stand in torrential rain between two sermons that end on the same three words. Stay past the credits.
