Having accidentally called forth a being from an ancient book and made a pact with the strange being of the abyss, Tenebrotep, he has now been thrust into an assignment by the King himself to discover the secrets behind these strange powers. Secrecy is paramount as he tries to unfold the origins of the legends surrounding these magics and guards himself from another monk, named Arnold, who has shown himself to also be a binder through the summoning of the bestial spirit Gourmander. However, he does not seem to know our secret, though he knows of our assignment, after having his memory doctored by ourself in the night. Having gained privacy and security in a locked tower, we are set to investigate the strange book again and call forth another creature under cover of night. A lot of plot development and suspense building. Parts 1 and 2, which were not archived, are posted as screen caps.

We learn of Asam'Ano Mora's power to carve things instantly from stone and create elaborate mechanisms to meet our every need. Later, we call Xepoc again and are introduced to his A.I. Rem that inhabits the gauntlet. We also form another pact with Asam'Ano Mora and try to use both powers together, but find that stopping time also stops our other vestige. Not dissuaded, we dig an elaborate network of carefully hidden tunnels beneath the castle to allow us more subtle access around the monastery. Sleeping in most of the day, Arnold wakes us to inform us that the Order has a new mission for the both of us. We finish our sleep, have dinner and head off to meet him that night, forming a dangerous pact with the morbid Acheron. Having become a pale skeleton with icy powers, accompanied by Arnold in the shape of a dog, we make our way to investigate the Baron. We end gaining entry to second floor of his manor only to make a startling discovery.

A search of the manor with Arnold turns up a hidden passage into a secret laboratory where another binder is chained up. After disabling the Baron we end up in a fight with the fiery minotaur of a binder when he mistakes us for our father.

We try out all three of our new Vestiges, the lawful Quorim, the pyromaniac Narcosis, and the gambling Red Jack while learning a bit about each of them. While supernaturally lucky, we talk to Arnold about what to do in relation to the order before heading off with Rosemary and making amends with her for the attack the previous night. We talk to Leonard a bit about binding and magic over dinner before the Inquisitor shows up. We hide, but use the power of Xepoc to stop time and scour the house for any heretical things needing hiding.

We infiltrate the military encampment with the aid of Tenebrotep and remove all traces of their plan of assault before picking away the inquisitor's memories. But upon picking through Ranta's memories we find he was the one who killed our father. We chase down the bird carrying a message to bring reinforcements from Surdrime and return to the castle where we make another clock to pay our debt to Xepoc.
