Vex: Percy!

They all ignore their pleading as theyre taking away from the room as the doors shut. The guards take the party away until they run into Scanlan who's heavily drunk and laying on his vomit.

Grog: Scanlan?

Scanlan sees his friends are on cuffs.

Grog: Scanlan!

Scanlan: (Groans and stands up.) Hey, guys...

The guards point their spears at Scanlan but Pike stops them.

Pike: No, no, no, no, no! Don't. He's harmless. And drunk?

Scanlan: Oh, I was trying to talk with Kaylie, but you guys were in trouble. (Sobs.) I couldn't be in two places at once...Pike, I blew it with her.

Pike: Oh, Scanlan, I'm sorry.

Vex: Nobody gives a shit. Theyre going to kill Percy!

Scanlan: Wait, what?

YN: Technically they said something about transformation.

Vex: Either way, he's in trouble!

Meanwhile at the palace, Percy was still on his knees while being surrounded by the golems and J'mon.

J'mon: You took a life. And while we will not take yours, we will transform it into something more honorable.

The guard arrives with a small chase fro J'mon and she pulls out a crown like object that looks similar to what the golems are wearing on their heads.

J'mon: Do you have any final words before you join my service?

Percy: I do. But the ones I would want to hear them are absent.

J'mon didn't respond and proceed with the transformation as Percy screams from pain by the transformation.

Until Scanlan arrives and shouts.

Scanlan: Objection!

J'mon stops the transformation and notice the gnome as well as the party.

Perfect timing to save Percy from a fate worst than death.

Scanlan: Damn, my timing is just...wow.

The guards then grabs him and place him in front of J'mon.

J'mon: What is the meaning of this?

Scanlan: Your Evidence, I have new eminence to present. You'll need my sword.

J'mon saw the guard holding the sword and notice its a vestige.

J'mon: (Surprised.) Mythcarver.

Scanlan: Look into the blade and you'll see the real culprit.

The guards hand her the sword and the vestige shows J'mon the real murderer where she sees Ripley running away with the vestiges she stole. However, Orthax senses J'mon is watching and warns Ripley before she vanishes. Fortunately this was enough evidence for the truth.

J'mon: So you were telling the truth... In light of this new evidence, the group known as Vox Machina is cleared of all charges.

They release Vox Machina and they hugged Percy to see that he's okay.

Pike: We though we lost you there. Holy shit, Scanlan, I'm so glad you found us.

Scanlan: Yeah. Me too...

Scanlan looks a bit sadden as he failed to talk with his daughter. Yet he saved Percy from a fate worst than death. Right now the sun is setting while J'mon and Vox Machina are discussing about the vestiges.

J'mon: Actually, I have studied vestiges like your blade for quite some times.

Meanwhile Percy and Vex are away from the group discussion and have a small talk together.

They were silent until Vex breaks it.

Vex: You didn't need to take the blame.

Percy: But I am to bkae for what I made. For letting it loose in the world. For not telling you Ripley was tracking us in vasselheim. Seeing that demon...my demon...still alive...I was ashamed. And above all else, I just didn't want you to see me that way. YN was right about the weapon.

Vex: Drowning in guilt won't bring you what you want.

Percy: And what is it I want?

Back with the group discussion, they're still talking about the vestiges until Grog speaks.

Grog: Right. So I've been thinking long and hard about our options.

Pike: What'd you come up with?

Grog: Well, nothing. I just wanted you to know I've been thinking.

Pike: (Smiles.) Get it, buddies.

Keyleth: What option? Ripley got away with it. Without that vestige we have no chance against Thordaks fire.

YN: Well right now, there's a choice. We can either go after Ripley and get back the vestige along with cutting her arm off.

Everybody just glance at him with confused look.

YN: Oh come on. You don't hear me arguing about Grog wanting to chop peoples hand off.

Grog: At least I say I'm sorry.

YN: Okay, second option is look for an alternative which I doubt either one will save time before its too late.

J'mon: That would be true if she had actually stolen the plate of the Dawnmartyr.

This confused Vox Machina.

Vax: I'm sorry?

J'mon: I have witnessed firsthand Thordaks fury and monitored his onslaught through Tal'Dorei. Grimly aware that he or someone allied with him may come for the plate. I did the only responsible thing. I replaced it with a forgery.

YN: Well that's unexpectedly clever.

Pike: Then where's the real one? And can we borrow it, like, just borrow it?

J'mon: That may prove difficult.

YN: Not surprised since it was difficult for us to get the other vestiges.

J'mon: Not this kind of difficult. I his it in a place beyond even Thordaks reach. Are you familiar with the Hells of Despath?

YN: (Blank.) Hell?

Pike: As in "Hells" hell?

Grog: (Excited.) Like l, blood and demons and all that cool shit?

Grog then notice Pike glancing at him.

Grog: Oh, I mean, all that bad shit, hmm?

J'mon: The plate is with a demon called Zerxus Ilerez, an antiquities collector in the City of Dis.

Vex: So if we want the plate, we have to go to...

J'mon: Hell.

Everyone just groans while Grog got excited as Pike fall of his shoulder and hit the ground.

Grog: Yes!

Pike: Oh, my tit!

YN: Well, see you all in hell.

YN walks to the cliff but Keyleth stops him before dragging him away and they left the palace. Now having a new task to seek the vestige. Hell.
