We finally get to find out what happened to our Dragonborn friend, Jed!  We also learn more about the Atlanteans and why there are soldiers in the swamps around the Xiloscient capital.  Sensing the end is near for the black dragon, or for themselves, our heroes trudge towards the golden castle for the final show down, arguing the entire way there.  Crowded on to a rowboat with Guy and Jed, the three musketeers barely make it to the castle's shores under the cover of night.
