The group prepares for the day and continues on towards the Caverns of Time. Luckily, the sandstorm has started to lessen. Ray leads the party to the entrance of a cave and triggers a pressure plate. Harrison isn't able to disable it, but makes an outline so the rest of the party doesn't trigger it as well. The group heads down in to the cave and comes to an intersection. The decision is to go right. The group follows the path for some time before they realize it's a big loop. They turn around and go back to the intersection and take the left path. After a while, they hear a group of goblins/humans. Fighting ensues and the group finds out the others are carrying explosives. The party wins the battle, and continue on deeper into the cave. They come to a room with broken statues, a troll, a blood elf and a goblin who all have tattoos. The troll comes after the group and has a blasphemy effect on him that paralyze Rod, Harrison, and Angus. During the battle, Wendy shows up in her true dragon form. She brings Brigget back from death, unparalyzes the rest and tells Brigget that she has taken herself out of the time continuum and can't return to her dragon form. With Wendy's help, the group becomes victorious.
Brigget and Grace search the statues. All the statues are made are all the same, made in the same era and are all pristine. They also find some containers filled with essences and find two very large gems with souls trapped inside. Grace examines the gems and comes to the conclusion that they could be Jarl and Ronan, but it could also be something else that could be dangerous. While Grace is examining the gems, Brigget pushes part of one of the broken statues into his portable hole. He is transported to the Astral plane. Meanwhile, Harrison tries to identify the objects he has found. Harrison walks out of the cave and tries to send a message to Isa. The sending goes out, but nothing comes back.
Brigget tries to hearth to Goldshire from the Astral plane, but he ends up somewhere that doesn't look familiar to him. He goes to a farm and asks for direction and finds out his strider can fly. The strider takes him to Ironforge while he finally reads the manual.
The rest of the party hearth to Stormwind and go to talk to the mages. They find out the scarab necklaces and the troll's sword are part of the Curage. The mages also say the only way to find out what is in the gems is to break them. Grace is very hesitant about this since there is no way the group could survive if the souls are hostile. They decide to have a necklace made for Wendy from Brigget,since she gave up the continuum for him. Brigget heads to Goldshire, trying to come up with a poem for Wendy and picking some flowers for her as well.
The rest of the group arrives in Goldshire, shortly before Brigget does. Brigget tries to recite the poem to Wendy, while Harrison slips some things into Brigget's pocket. The poem Brigget recites is not very good, so Grace covers for him. Brigget and Grace begin to argue about the soul stones when Harrison decides to break one against the other. Seeing this, Ray does a dive to the floor, pulling the table with him. All in slow motion! The smaller of the two gems break, and Ronan is revealed. Ronan regains his senses and suggests that they free Jarl outside. Once Jarl is freed, he is in his dragon form looking very much like a prismatic dragon with bronze phasing the most. Jarl reverts to his human form, and tells the group he is upset. Takes the group back to the Caverns of Time. Jarl explains that the statues are a containment field for Kathun and that breaking them weakens the field. Harrison shows Jarl the essence containers and tells the group to keep it closed. The group shows Jarl the rest of what they discovered in the room. There is a bronze scepter in a scabbard that Jarl takes out. He explains that he has been searching for it for some time and that the scepter is the key for the group to go home, although it has been corrupted. After this insight, the group informs Jarl and Ronan what the have found and gathered.
Jarl tells the group that once the scepter is uncorrupted, they can return home, where everything will be as it was before they came to this world. Grace asks that she be returned to her normal appearance. She is transformed and decides to stay. Harrison decides to stay since he was dead before coming to this world. Ray decides to stay because he didn't want his child growing up without him, and he's a hero here. Brigget takes Wendy aside and talks to her. Brigget decides to stay and proposes to Wendy.
