The thief, however, was suspended in a gelatinous cube. After defeating the cube, the party apprehended the thief and returned the stolen items. Within the cube, they also found a strange book.
After fixing the wagon, the group took off once again, the fog now dispersed. Making haste through the night, dawn's morning light now creeps over the horizon. In the distance, wreathed in the warm halo of the rising sun looms an enormous castle. Its many tiers and layers are dotted with an abundance of candles, giving it the appearance of an enormous cake...
