We're still buried in the under-prison beneath the Grey Vale Cave, and Valmora wants OUT — there are children dying in Ponterford and she means to save them tonight. But Silithane finally comes clean: replacement knights are already on their way, and his real job was always the Queen Grabbler. So we stay. We finish the cell.

Then the mute Shushu speaks! Through Valmora's Tongues he's revealed as Gerald — a janitor, an accidental immortal, keeper of this whole place's secret: a rehab prison for thieves of Ambrosia, the immortality elixir, from a time when many suns hung in the sky. His wife Alice sleeps frozen in the ice, waiting out a coming meteor. And at a stripped shrine, Valmora touches a THIRD living god — a thing that wishes nothing had ever lived.

While Malifax bricks up the Queen's cell, we scatter: armor mended, lizards recruited, the lair scouted, the gentle "Mad One" exposed as the lost therapist.

The cell is nearly done. Next session — we storm the Queen.

SUMMARY: A talk-heavy half-session that unmasks Gerald the immortal janitor and the prison's Ambrosia secret, sets up Valmora's third living god, and ends poised on the eve of the Queen Grabbler assault.
