The party woke Winry while fighting off the antlered snakes, and discovered that she did have visions of the Firestarter. The eyes in the fire visited her in a dream, while chanting in Sylvan could be heard in the distance. The group discussed what to do with this information, but didn't have long to talk. Arriving after the fight, the bearded devil that hunted the party appeared on the bridge, looking to parlay.
Jack tried to fool the devil with a different book and some abstract legalities. Not taken by the ruse, the devil suggested a deal - he helps the party defeat Indomitability, and in return, they would give Funzbar's book to him. Although Jack seemed to be willing, the group decided to instead retreat back into the tower to discuss.
After debating the options, the group decided an informal agreement was acceptable. However, when paper and quill were presented to make the deal official, the party backed out. But not before Myetharia attempted to make a deal personally.
Bidding the party farewell, the devil turned to leave, promising their next encounter wouldn't be so friendly.
