The episode starts with the Silver Guard recovering after the trouble beneath the tavern, splitting loot, checking on the guards, and trying to get the town back into some kind of order. Things turn messy fast, with more party banter, a violent run-in, and the usual questionable leadership. After getting patched up by the High Keeper, the group receives a new church mission. Father Reynolds vanished after leading a small party to a mountain cave near the Silver Mine while searching for the Tablet of Life, an old relic tied to Circe. The Silver Guard is asked to investigate, find Reynolds if possible, recover the relic, and cleanse whatever has taken hold in the cave
