After the group joined up in the entry for Brinewall castle, they assessed the situation and decided that they should go up to the second level in order to better assess the situation. While the discussion was going on, Sandru Vosk came up to the gate, in order to pass on something that Sophia had said in her delirium. She rested peacefully most of the time, guarded by her friends Sandru, Kyova and Brianna but she had mumbled “Beware the followers of Pazuzu”, along with other things while she was watched. The three had agreed that the information might help the Storm Peace Keepers so Sandru had come up to the castle to pass on the information. While he was there, the group asked him to come along and help while they scouted the castle out to try and find the cure for Sophia.

With Sandru to help, the group decided to climb the ladders to the second floor and see what they could find. Sandru climbed up one set of ladders while Sheliak headed up the other set. Danicia would follow, along with Cendrine and Darsus. Unfortunately, Sandru found more of the serpent people and had to defend himself from attack. Sheliak was able to get to the top into a room around the corner from the serpent person. The group made their way up their ladders while other serpent people joined in the attack. The group was attacked from a distance with bows while a magic user cast spells. However, once everyone was up at the same level, the serpent guards were quickly surrounded and overwhelmed by the group. After taking out this threat, the group cautiously looked out on the courtyard and across at the rest of the castle. They explore the walk way over the ruined stables and found that a way into the castle was blocked by stone fall. They went the other way, where the magic user had come from and found double doors opening into the castle along with more walkway around the edge of the castle. Sandru and Danicia were able to pick the locks on the doors. They had also heard someone behind the door so the group prepared to rush in. Once the doors were open they saw another serpent person, dressed in robes in what appeared to be a ruined shrine. The serpent person brandished a symbol at them and cast spells but when surrounded let out a call. The serpent in robes then went invisible while the group prepared for attack from other creatures.

The inner door was opened up and a serpent person with a bow showed up and started shooting. Another joined in while the serpent in robes cast another spell and became visible. Things were tight but the group eventually took out the serpent in robes then focused on taking down the serpent guards. There were some injuries but everyone stayed up and was ready for more action. The group was ready to finish exploring the first room when the session ended.
