Moactem approaches Cherish, who asks that the bandits be dealt with as civilly as possible. She asks for more time to resolve that problem and suggests the Nauctls could take on the death dogs.

Once Moactem is out of earshot, Elaine fills in the party about a little girl who is wanted by the White Order. Deacon is spying outside the room and alerts Henry to the conversation, and Henry reveals that he was waiting for Althea to give the girl over to Amisandra's protection.

The group then decides to take on Goldbiter and the bandits. Fulton and Clyfric take the lead, nearly getting themselves into trouble before successfully convincing the guards that they're bringing a message from Robert. After successfully meeting Goldbiter, Fulton reveals the group's true identity and explains the Nauctl threat and that they'd been sent by elder Gertrude.

Goldbiter, predictably, is furious. Fulton attempts to backpedal and asks if Goldbiter is familiar with Ebenezer Kraut's circus. Eri manages to calm him down by appealing to him as a fellow thief, which works better. Fulton then attempts to make an appeal to Goldbiter to get his men to work honest jobs.

In a final appeal, Fulton starts talking more to the crowd of bandits than to their leader and convinces a good majority of them to just walk away. Seeing his support base crumbling before his very eyes, Goldbiter surrenders to the party.

Elaine goes off back to town to fetch Frieda the captain of the guard, and it turns out that she is shocked to find that Goldbiter is none other than her own brother, Miller.

The party reconvenes with Elder Gertrude and completes their mission to disrupt the bandits.
