After a brief conversation with Mister Witch and Mister Light, Burly pulls the party aside to advocate for them pressuring the owners by lifting Mister Witch's pocket watch, forcing them to answer their questions if they want it back.

In one part of the carnival, Dusk spots a kenku in disguise heckling Palasha, but is unable to apprehend them. In another, Eira attempts to rescue a grieving halfling, but arrives a few seconds too late, and Serena investigates and finds some out-of-place mirrors. Banjjak eavesdrops on the owners, but is interrupted by Muriel.

The end of the night and the crowning of the Witchlight Monarch draws closer, and the party is quickly running out of time...

Serena, Dusk, and Eira reunite with their childhood friend Banjjak, who now works for the Witchlight Carnival. They are joined by Muriel, who also works for the carnival.

The group partakes of several of the carnival attractions, including getting their fortunes read by Auntie Edna, rescuing a carnivalgoer on the dragonfly ride, and gaining some knowledge from the unicorns on the carousel.

After joining the Big Top Extravaganza, the party is approached by Burly, who tells them management would like to speak to them...

The Witchlight Carnival has returned to the characters' home plane, eight years after its last visit and 24 years since Eira, Dusk, Serena, and Banjjak snuck in as children.
