The fallout from the Ignolium Rocket has everyone on edge, and each of our heroes blames themselves. Arwynn thinks he shouldn’t have let the Raiders stay, and throws them in the dungeon. Gwynn thinks this is a failure of letting her guard down, and knowing how close she came to losing Daisy, steps up the NovelForce’s patrols. Dario decides that since he cannot keep his inventions from being used for evil, quit inventing and closes up shop. Timithor continues to have ominous visions. In the dungeon, Pyralia and Lucifex want to prove that they can be good Novelmore citizens, so they portal into the Crimson Caldera to spy on the Raiders. But they’re caught by Flinton Spark! After losing Spark lets them return to Novelmore, but they must bring a message — Novelmore must surrender, or else. Novelmore decides to fight.
