After vanquishing the demonic shadow, the party discovers that the Elwind's son's ailment, though helped, was not cured. They decide to look into their other lead of what is going on by following the small boy, Powel, who had been collecting the moldy bread. He leads them to his meeting spot with Klem who they then follow into the Smiter's Quary, a poorer district where the stone is hewn for the City of Castles. They discover that Klem is feeding unsuspecting citizens the bread and spreading the sickness. A chase breaks out and after causing a ruckus in a back alleyway they catch Klem. Using Opal's ability to divinely sense beings of light and dark, Klem turns out to be a Fiend of some sort. They take her and interrogate her gaining only cryptic information about this creature's leader, Mo'onyan, and something that is coming called Voddenfell. After relaying the true song for bread tag, the party finds themselves surrounded by more demonic shadows and a fight breaks out. The party manages to slay the demonic Klem as well as a few shadows but decides to fall back as the shadows kill one of the town guards that was with them as well as almost suck the strength completely out of Ren and Alia. The last thing the party sees behind them is one of the shadows grabbing something out of the ooze that remained of Klem and turning corporeal as a new Klem.
