Plot
Periwinkle sends a runner to the Surefoots with his letter, and as he leaves a tired-looking Captain Toltan - with half his armour broke, the sigil upon it torn away, the lower-right side of his face burned - marches towards Periwinkle. He sees the captain has a bit of a limp and is cradling one of his arms. He tells the captain about the Surefoots having taken the weapon and Graggia, to which the captain responds by punching a pillar post. Captain Toltan announces he will send a runner to the gnomes, for they are the only ones capable of unlocking the weapon's capabilities. Toltan promotes himself, and then makes O'Rourke a captain. Before he leaves, Toltan reveals that Damian Eaton himself is a dragon.

In the vault, Greg Piss comes to. He hears the vault door opening. Greg composes himself before the door opens and Damian Eaton enters, naked, drenched in gore. Damian steps around the vault, touching parts of the wall, and as he does so, drawers appear. Greg immediately grasses out Leo Shadow and Periwinkle O'Rourke as the thieves of the gnomish weapon. After that, he barters all the information he has for his soul - but Damian wants more. He pushes Greg up against the wall to tear his shadow off - tossing it aside, it forms a Shadow Greg. As they exchange, Greg asks Damian to deal with the Sabres. Then, Damian announces it's his turn. Until he gets the weapon back, Greg is to work for him. When Greg assumed that was a given, Damian decides to think of something else and get back to him... Meanwhile, he commands Greg to attempt to steal the weapon back. On his way out, Greg's threatened by Eaton by his shadow being choked. He does, however, heal Greg a little - and takes three teeth.

Captain Periwinkle and Leo check the two bags they stole from Eaton. They contain money, an idol of Eaton (clothed), a small portrait of a dragon (Eaton), a pellet of sunlight, an oil of bless weapon which Leo uses, a potion of resist acid, and a scroll of true seeing. The party is perplexed by Eaton's possessions. Periwinkle and Leo head to see Littlelow. There are fires everywhere in Little Teaglaigh, with halflings piling bodies in the street and taking apart rubble to look for survivors. Periwinkle stays to help, and being much stronger is very useful to the smaller halflings. Leo goes to find Papa at what's left of the restaurant. Somewhere in the distance, he hears halflings playing violins. Around the back of the building he finds Little Little staring into a plate of spaghetti. He tells Leo that Rosita was in the building, so he tries desperately to dig his way through it to her, but cannot; he fetches Periwinkle. Back at the restaurant, they see Papa Littlelow climbing sombrely out of a carriage. Periwinkle endeavours to find Rosita in the rubble. He goes at it for a half-hour, eventually coming across a giant collapsed wall by the kitchen. Several other halflings, including Little Little, join to help. They hear a squeaking sound in the larder - with some more digging, they find a dusty and bruised Rosita. Periwinkle scoops her out of the wreckage and the Littlelows rush over. Papa Littlelow kisses O'Rourke on the forehead, and they speak:

''"You have brought my daughter back from the dead! I could never repay you!" ''

"I can think of one way."

''"Thank you, thank you, anything!" ''

"The Surefoots took my wife."

"...No-one fucks with family."

Papa Littlelow and Little Little take Rosita, Periwinkle and Leo to the Little estate.

Meanwhile, Greg makes his way to militia HQ. He hides himself down an alleyway and headbutts a brick wall, bleeding from the head. He approaches the militia HQ and starts yelling, "we've been compromised! we need to get everybody out!"

''Another risky plan from Greg Piss. Will it pay off? Find out next time...''
