Alyssa finds the edge of the pit and opens it up, allowing Krakr to escape. However, the door (or rather, the spirit of it) begins to speak, maligning Krakr and his magic. Hearing Krakr's assessment to the group, the spirit begins to insult the group. While diplomacy is attempted, the spirit declares that, despite the group having given no insult, that it wishes them dead, for they are barbarians, and stains upon the earth regardless of deeds. With such insult dealt, the group sets to studying the door, that they might make right the aforementioned insult. Krakr, attempting diplomacy one last time, summons the spirit of the hearth he has ijn contract. The door spirit, whom the hearth spirit reveals to be named Billibus, threatens the hearth spirit. The hearth spirit, familiar with this door spirit, suggests that we slay the rude spirit.
Whiles this Billibus had spoken dire threats, the hearth spirit Joshua reveals that it is harmless, for it is a spirit of the Greeks, who no longer walk this world. To make right the dishonor it sought to inflict upon us, the three resolve to dig the door from the earth it is set in, and pillage whatever treasure those with magical senses can feel within it.
