Waking in the morning, the Protectors of the Pass began casting spells and hatching a plan to defeat Indomitability.
As Bryn flew the roc over the prone form of the fiery stag, Winry dove into the boiling water. Retrieving the sword, it bonded with her, and became a living weapon for her attacks. Now freed, Indomitability charged the shore, killing as many Seela as he could, attempting to stop the song. Before the Protectors could respond, there was a flash of arcane light. Joining the fray and murdering Seela was none other than the bearded devil that hunted the party.
Seeing the tide turning against the villagers, the Protectors convinced Papuvin and the singers to allow Indomitability to go. With some convincing, and some straight up attacks, Papuvin agreed, and Indomitability disappeared, promising to see the party again sometime. With Indomitability gone, Vuhl spoke up and thanked everyone for releasing his brother. Suddenly, his form shifted from a Seela into a tentacled writhing mass, who then similarly disappeared.
The threat to the Seela now gone, the Protectors focused their fire onto the devil. With great teamwork, and Winry's new magically imbued attacks, the devil finally fell.
With Indomitability dealt with and the devil subdued, the Seela breathed their first unlabored breath in years, and cheers rang out for the victory of the Protectors of the Pass.
