Having learned that trouble is on the horizon, the party takes stock of everything in the Maw and decides what to do next.

With Stable 998 behind them, the Mawlers say farewell to some friends, say hello to new allies, and head back to Ribcage for a good night's rest.

In the aftermath of the defense of Stable 998, Chica the changeling and Xencarn have a private discussion and come to an important decision.

There's a problem: The location of Stable 998 is now common knowledge. And the nearby townsfolk want to loot it.

The time comes to end the Machine Curse once and for all. But even when it's over, there are new problems to consider.
