As they approached the bend where they remembered seeing the monster, '''Merys''' scouted slightly ahead to get a closer look at it. The monster remained exactly where they had left it, appearing to have not moved in all the time they'd been away. '''Dave''' casted a shiny illusion of themself in front of the monster to see if it would react, but still it did not move from the middle of the path. At this revelation, '''Merys''' cautiously slid past the monster while pressed up against the cave wall and Adrian followed suit from the other side. With still to movement from the monster, '''Dave''' and '''Ashe''' followed behind and the team proceeded further down the path towards '''Nephira's''' lair. | As they approached the bend where they remembered seeing the monster, '''Merys''' scouted slightly ahead to get a closer look at it.

They found themselves wading through water once again and, just as with her sister, '''Nephira''' was waiting for them at the entrance to her lair. While '''Nephinza''' took on the visage of a beautiful woman, however, '''Nephira''' was far more conventionally [[Hag]]-like in appearance and her lair was littered with bones piled all about. "It's been a long time since I've had any visitors," she spoke while gesturing for the team to sit. They asked if she knew why they had been sent, and she surmised it was no doubt the work of her sister. The team inquired if she had seen any children in the caves and she claimed to know where they were, but—just like '''Nephinza'''—she would only divulge that information in exchange for killing her sister. The team pressed for a reason behind the animosity between the two sisters and if it had to do with their third sister's death, and '''Nephira''' confirmed that she held '''Nephinza''' entirely responsible for '''Nephilla's''' demise. Recalling how '''Kyar'''' said each sister vehemently blamed one another, the team asked if they could somehow prove that '''Nephinza''' was not responsible for the death of '''Nephilla'''. However, '''Nephira''' insisted that such an effort would be pointless as she was completely certain of '''Nephinza's''' guilt. She lamented how '''Nephilla's''' lair had been overtaken by a [[Bugbear]] leading a horde of [[Goblin|Goblins]], but she wouldn't stop them if the team wanted to waste time and chance death by poking around there. '''Merys''' expressed his desire to not kill anyone without evidence of their guilt and Adrian agreed, preferring to stay neutral in the sisters' conflict until they could uncover proof.
