The party finds themselves teleported to a dragon's lair, where they confront former allies who have been transformed into dragons and placed under Tamora's control. They engage in a tense battle, trying to free their friends by destroying magical amulets without killing them. The fight involves both physical combat and attempts at persuasion, as they try to break through the mental conditioning. Ultimately, they succeed in shattering the amulets, but are left with unconscious allies in a dangerous location, forced to seek divine aid to escape.
