The party attempts to secure a meeting with Lady Cromwell, and she seems welcoming to the idea when they send her a missive. At the same time, a magically altered crow delivers an invitation to Oscar to discuss the events on her estate. When the party arrives, they are given chairs, and the steward activates a spell causing the chairs to manifest magical restraints that attempt to capture them. Neeral and J.J. escape untouched, Elro is able to teleport away from the restraints after they grab him, and Oscar turns into a bear and smashes the chair itself. Then, they defeat a series of guards that were attempting to capture the party. One of the guards surrenders and warns the party they need to leave the building as soon as possible. Leaping from windows and open doorways, they escape mere seconds before a powerful, amplified prismatic wall slams down, locking the inside of the building away from the outside. Now outside with their prisoner, the group decides to move into the wilderness to avoid detection.
