As the group are ogling Ricoril's new t-shirt, [[Nohbody]] creeps up and peers at it from behind Pine. She compliments the shirt, spooking Pine, who turns and steps back instantly. She sarcastically thanks Pine for knocking her out of the fight, to which Pine apologizes, but tells her "fuck you for constantly nixing my shit" with ''Counterspells''. Gael has [[Friend]] perch on Nohbody's head. She gently reaches her hand up and grabs at Friend like a squeak toy just as they become visible. Suddenly realizing this was the creature who was blowing magical breath at her during the fight, she greets Friend and asks them if they're the leader of the group, to which Friend nods. She lets out Nyarla to play with Friend, who then climbs up Ricoril's shoulder on command. Nohbody tells Nyarla she can go play with Friend and Friends for as long as they want and takes her leave.

[[Kal]] congratulates Versa on a successful match, lamenting his [[Gloryseekers|own team's]] loss. He promises yet again to gather some intel on F&F's next opponent, the Devil Slayers, in the hopes that this would result in a Grand Finals of F&F against the Gloryseekers.
=== Homeward Bound ===
Before heading home, the group swing back through the merchandise stalls, where Pine purchases a copy of the same shirt Ricoril bought earlier. Versa checks in on the Versa figurine to find out it's finished carving but still needs painting. Ricoril also sells his morning star that disappointed him so thoroughly in the previous match against [[Always Sunny]].
Walking back to the Yeltsa residence, Pine calls [[Sela]] on his [[Ring of Masks]] to check in, wondering if she is still in town. She replies that she is, but may be leaving before the end of the tournament, and that the party should let her know if they have need of her. Simultaneously, Versa has a breakdown over the concept in her mind that [[Dandy]] could, due to her lack of knowledge of the subject, potentially be her child. The rest of the group try their best to assuage her fears.
=== Family Calls ===
Gael notices a figure tailing the group and attempts to use their invisible ''Mage Hand'' to de-hood them, but the figure takes note and flees down an alley. Gael abruptly announces they're going to do more shopping and runs off to pursue the figure. They manage to keep pace, only to be startled upon turning a corner and coming face to face with the mysterious figure. The figure takes a step back and says he has a letter to be delivered to Gael's dragonborn compatriot, and that it's important he receives it tonight. The figure takes their leave and Gael opens the letter enough to read the header addressed to "Neth" - Pine's birth name. Very confused at who that is, Gael doesn't read any more and heads back to the house.
They give the letter to Pine, who reads it in the presence of the rest of the party. The letter explains that the writer was surprised to hear of Neth's involvement in the Grand Tournament, and requests that he meet under the west bridge at midnight tonight to assist with the last stage of the hunt for their greatest mark - [[The Shrew]]. Finally, the letter is signed [[Gracelyn Therisn]] - Pine's bounty hunter father.
The party discuss how they want to proceed because Pine seems keen on investigating what his father is up to and what the Shrew did to attract his attention. Ricoril recalls that The Shrew is the most infamous criminal in the city, the leader of a group called [[The Deserted]], and that the Shrew was often used as a bogeyman to scare kids into behaving, lest they kidnap them for ransom. Eventually, the group decide to all travel with Pine to this meeting, with Ricoril by Pine's side and Gael/Versa tailing from a distance to make sure things don't go sideways.
Pine meets with his father as planned, where Gracelyn immediately goes into "Mission Mode" describing the plan, despite not having spoken to or seen his son for nearly a year. He explains there will be a prisoner exchange between The Deserted and the [[Rottia|Rottian]] government in a nearby warehouse in about an hour. He plans to intervene, turning this neutral exchange into one favored by the government, capturing the Shrew himself and immediately handing them in to the already present federal agents. Throughout the conversation, he consistently provides Pine with backhanded compliments at best, manipulative insults at worst.
The group head to the warehouse, where Gael takes point above a skylight, Versa hides amongst the ground level boxes. Pine, Ricoril, and Gracelyn scale a latter to reach the catwalks above the warehouse's main floor to wait. Right on cue, a boat approaches from the river to the west and a cart from the east. The Deserted, entering from the west, The groups enter the building, send a delegate to the middle to discuss and sign some sort of document, and then head back to their respective parties.
Gracelyn holds out a smoke bomb, telling Pine that he plans to throw it down towards The Shrew once the prisoners begin walking towards the center and become out of range. In this moment, Pine agonizingly decides to give the signal to Ricoril to help him prevent his father from throwing the bomb.
