Summary Investigating Gary/Ilyrio's body, Eoj is hit with the final vestiges of the Gary virus, granting him limited telepathic abilities. Dirty Hank and Trislyn investigate where the fire giant was digging and discover a door that seems to be a portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Darkness falls again, and Jarmi appears to them all, thanking Dirty Hank for releasing him - although it may have kick-started the apocalypse. The crew return to the Aarakocra for payment, and Eoj raises the idea of the apocalypse with the Dauphin who admits they have experienced portents and warns him about Tor Alach Apti and her thrall. The crew go to the local markets to sell gear looted from the Fire Giant, but are attacked by a snow storm, a frost monster, some kind of frozen reincarnation of Jimmy Buffett, and Gwendolyn. They defeat Jimmy but Gwen's appearance causes Dirty Hank and Trislyn to have a desperate and heartfelt conversation about Hadal after it commands Trislyn to kill Gwen.
