While the adventurers have been leveling up and recuperating in the city of Statsberg, they have continued to try and track down Nidal's nemesis Nerak. Rumours have reached them that Nerak has been spotted in the Fishgate area of the city. So the adventurers decided to have some dinner at a local tavern and see if they find out more.
They have dinner at the Boar and Hunter tavern and find out from their server that Nerak has indeed been spotted in the area. However, the server can provide no other information. The party decided to visit the Temple of the Light which is across the road from the Boar and Hunter.
Temple is newly constructed and contains the tomb of St. Cecilia. A large congregation is present and Sister Sarah is conducting the service. The adventurers are surprised to find that the sarcophagus of St. Cecilia glows with its own light. When they touch the sarcophagus all nature of injuries are healed. The last remnants of Adrahil's werewolf curse and Nidal's vampire bite disappear and all who touch the sarcophagus are filled with a feeling of inner peace.
As the party leave the temple, the see their server from the Boar and Hunter signaling them. She tells them that she just saw Nerak heading into the Fishgate warrens down the street. The party sets off in pursuit.
What the party doesn't realize is that Nerak deliberately revealed herself and has set a trap for Nidal and her friends. Nodrog goes on ahead of the rest of the party to scout out the area and see if he can spot Nerak. As he enters the Fishgate warrens crossbow bolts fly through the air. Nodrog is hit and calls out to warn his companions.
