Yarandrala is happy to be reunited with Gideon, and also glad he and Rit are a happy couple, but she also fells like injustice was done to both of them, and that they could be betrayed again. To that end, she invites them to live in Kiramin, the land of the high elves where it’s always spring. They decline, assuring her they’re perfectly happy in Zoltan. In fact, they invite her to move there for a time so she can see for herself why it’s not a bad place.
With the extreme cold of the mountains getting to everyone, Tisse leads them to an invigorating hot spring with a killer view of the sea. When Yara learns Red is all alone at a smaller spring, she runs off (naked, of course) to join him, followed closely by Rit.
When Tisse, whom I have no doubt likes Ruti (again, they’re practically wives in the OP) asks if she’s okay with Rit, Ruti exposes her brocon side by saying Rit can be his wife, but she’ll be his “number one lover.” I love how the touching music suddenly stops at this point, and Ruti leaves her all alone. Poor Tisse!
When the group encounters the Gem Giants and finds them in a bad way; they have no gems to trade, and are indeed starving to death. Red, Rit, and Ruit offer the rare Zoltanian glass they were going to use as barter, an act of charity that makes the Gem Giants lifelong allies. But the source of the gem shortage must be dealt with if the Giants are to survive.
The source is a Gem Beast, a gargantuan monster that eats gems and turns them into poisonous lead (which is why the Zoog forest is also hurting; the poison is in the water). The Beast is no slouch either, as Red has read of High Elves trying and failing to defeat it. It shatters Ruti’s sword and rots away Yara’s vines, then reflects their magic spells back upon them.
Red determines that the beast must be relying on multiple blessings to support its weight and launch such powerful attacks. But he happens to have a bottle of potion crafted by the Wild Elves that reduces the level of the blessing. Red, Ruti, Yara, and the others all keep the beast at bay while Rit leaps up and tosses the bottle in its mouth. With its blessings reduced it collapses under its own weight, and Ruti provides a devastating hero punch to defeat it.
The group returns to Zoltan, with Morgrim acquiring the earth crystal he needed (though it doesn’t seem Red found a blue sapphire for Rit’s ring … oh well). Yarandrala decides she’ll come live in Zoltan with them after all, since she wants to learn about a place where Gideon found so much joy and contentment.
Unbeknownst to them, their quiet life looks to be threatened by the approach of the Demon King’s airship, which we learn is heading to Zoltan in the closing scene with Van, Esta, Ljubo and Lavender. While the hero and his party won’t be headed there (for now), Ljubo is dispatching someone named Kiggith to investigate. We’ll see if this Kiggith causes any problems for our laid back friends.
