The adventurers spill out of the great hall into the corridor and face off against the mayor standing between a pair of armoured figures. Neko reminds his friends that these look like the same kinds of armour that were animated and attacked them back at the inn, so the group holds their ground for a moment.
The mayor convinces half the party to leave, at least for a while, with promises of gold. The other half hold their ground and decide something seems strange about the mayor and wonder if she is under a spell. Growing tired of the negotiations, Laura and Denna attack one of the guards which indeed turns out to be another animated suit of armour. Neko joins the fray and uses his divine smite to knock the armour back causing it to fly straight through the mayor and crash into the door — she was just an illusion!
Hearing the sounds of battle, the rest of the party return and soon defeat the two animated suits of armour. They then find their way blocked by an locked door, possibly warded with magic, with the sounds of arguing from the other side.
Chara the Tabaxi rogue climbs down the wall from the battlement and spies in through the window the Mayor, her handmaiden and captain of the guard inside the room. The women are arguing about the amulet the mayor is wearing around her neck. Deciding to take them by surprise Chara rushes through the window and races towards the door to open it and let in her friends. In her haste she bumps into the women and the amulet activates…
The party finds themselves on a wooded hillside. There is a crispness in the air suggesting fall, and the wolves can be heard in the distance. Popshot stops Drastrix and Quinn from resuming the fighting and everyone agrees that until they find out where they are and how to get back they should form a truce. The gem on the Amulet (of the Planes) has turned  black and the mayor says the magic is being blocked.
Neko is convinced they have travelled to someplace very bad.
