The party finished searching through the newfound treasures and heard screaming from the higher levels of the bathhouse. They rushed quickly up to the 2nd highest level and found a number of tainted refugees defending a corner with spears where a female refugee was being raped. Anthony and Davvin moved carefully through the masses while Julian and Grim pushed their way agressively through. With a single spell, Grim had put all the tainted refugee rapists to sleep and proceeded to bind them with rope. But the masses of refugees began to riot for the rapists' blood to be spilled and pressed forward to kill them. Grim, was pulled to the ground, Anthony, and Balin tried to resist the mob's grapples.

As the mob began to grow with cries of injustice, many of the sick and dying suffering from starvation and purple rot were trampled and killed needlessly. Without hesitation, Davvin knew what must be done and called upon Kelemvor's might in a miraculous burst of positive energy, stunning and hallowing the tainted place. For minutes all was quiet and soon Julian was directing the awestruck refugees into order. Balin and Julian found and created a salve to stop the spread of purple rot. Meanwhile, Davvin, Amthony, and Samael cremated the bodies of the dead in holy fire. Elena had finished her preparations and began to teleport 15 refugess to the surface. Within minutes she had said her last thanks and goodbyes and was gone.

The party rested and Anthony was haunted by more terrible nightmares. In the morning the Copper Dragon twins begged Davvin to return this bathhouse to its former blessed glory. Many hours and spells later Davvin had concencreated the entire bathhouse and greatly impressed the grateful young dragons of the Death Guardian's power. That day Davvin Gated the rest of the refugees along with Randal, Anthony, and Julian through the Ethereal Plane and into Zassaspur. The citie's blue flagged were raised at the terrible sight and the Fortress of the Faitherful's servants gathered quickly to attened to the dying refugees. Later, Anthony and Randal each held personal confessions with former fallen servants of the Triad. Julian, meanwhile would sell and purchase many new strange magical items and bank the party's dwarven treasure in the city treasury. The party members all returned through Davvin's Greater Teleport to the old bathhouse of Gildabarr. They are rested and ready to return the Deep Gnomes to their lost farming cavern village.
