Anubis said he did not understand the betrayal. Vandis honored Anubis and offered his sympathy for the betrayal of his companions. Vandis cast Heal on Anubis. Anubis granted the party with Divine Luck for one month.

Mambo felt she should meditate on what she had learned recently. Zhaji teleported the party back to the inn to spend the rest of the day and night. Zhaji, with Vandis help, continued to work on her Robe of Eyes.
