Several years later, a merchant traveling to Mostroferrato discovers an eerie red glow coming from The Pothold. Upon mentioning it in town, Rodrigo is panic stricken and asks the recently unpetrified Hero and his party to check it out. They do so with the result being Bjørn shortly breaking free afterwards.
