After resting, the Protectors of the Pass joined Lord Gallo in his trek to Bresk. Arriving at the walled capital city, the party were greeted with a hero's welcome. The people who were on wanted posters throughout the city returning to prove their innocence? It was the talk of the town, and the friends found themselves to be celebrities.
After the parade, King Steppengard himself welcomed Lord Gallo and the Protectors. He declared that a new enemy had been revealed, and the only way to defeat them was with Bresk united again. Encouraging everyone to enjoy the festivities, the king invited Gallo and the Protectors to a banquet the following evening. There, they would discuss this new disturbing information.
On the eve of their arrival, the Protectors called together all the leaders of the various holds of Bresk (except Lady Namin and Lord Dashgoban, who's desire for the throne made them unknown factors). Sharing the information and evidence they had collected, the Protectors of the Pass simply asked that the gathered leaders understand the real enemy was Ragesia. If any other faction was raised by Steppengard, the Protectors asked these leaders to stand with them, against the Ragesians, and the king as well if necessary.
