Two giant braziers burn in remote corners, and another unseen source blankets the room in a dim, hot, red glow. Colossal bronze arch-shaped serpentine sculptures dominate the room.

* Fenn is dusted, and the group reports back to the Geese.

==Side Income==
* The group is approached by a tall, dark-haired man with a sarcastic streak. He introduces himself as [[Mat]] and offers them a job while the Geese prepare the next stage of taking back Wydmoor, with very lucrative terms: 5000 gp for each, and at-cost fabrication of a single magical item apiece.
* They accept. He wastes no time and tells them to follow him.
* A couple of (hours? miles?) into the middle of nowhere in the swamp, Mat gestures into air. A portal appears, not seeming to lead anywhere in particular. Russ goes through without a second thought, and the rest of the group make sit through as well.
* Each party member ends up, solitary, in a comfortably appointed room. Its most prominent feature is a portrait of a middle aged man.
** Long story short, they each end up having a conversation with that man.
* After the side conversations are finished, and having all accepted the loose terms of the job, the party meets up again outside of the room. The Man summons a [www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/h/heroes-feast/ feast], clearly just because he can. While they eat, he tells them more details:
