Caretaker Woodsworth Moure had put on a strange necklace, one gifted to all of Egland's Best. This would secure Woodsworth historically as accepting this gift, and politically on behalf of Egland - their thanks accepted.

After his confession, it was realized he was under mental control of Helen, who had Woodsworth debate with the party on the Crystallizer, and convincing Helen to allow the group to continue how they operated.
The debate was difficult as Woodsworth was known to be manipulative with words. But they persevered, letting Woodsworth wrest free of the amulet's control. Caduceus would reject him for his actions until the Great Spirit themselves would appear; freeing him from control.

Deciding to get away from these people, we secured the Fragment of Creation (Octahedral Crystallizer) and left southward to Udrodzid - to Help with the excavation of Udrodzid.
