The group finds their way to the cultist's hideout, where their plan to pretend to be cultists immediately fails. The group find themselves fighting nearly every cultist in the hideout, letting only one (a new recruit named Amelia who apparently kept accidentally stabbing the other cultists with her scimitar. somehow.) run free. Cinnamon goes down twice in the fights, but is healed first by Jesús and ultimately saved by Sha'Ren. The group finds a trapdoor leading to an empty lower level (presumably the source of all the cultists they had fought), and a stairway leading down even lower into a chamber designed for some sort of ritual, where they find the leader of this section of the cult about to sacrifice Lady, the person who they had been hired to protect. They have a quick chat before Sha'Ren lets loose an arrow, and the leader begins to summon two creatures to aid him in the immenent fight. The party reaches level 3.
