Summary:

Again, the heroes are asked by Ooloom to aid his fellow Factioneers, and the party faces the combined strength of the Athar and the Doomguard...

Versa, disturbed by the experience of death, retires and passes the mantle to his friend, Teniseran.

Meanwhile, Ooloom asks the heroes for one last favor, to save his compatriots at Hope House, a soup kitchen in the Hive, which also serves as a shrine to Illmaeter, the Faerun God of Suffering.

The heroes find the soup kitchen under seige on one side by the Doomguard, who wish to defeat the hope brought on by Hope House, and on the other by Athar, who finds the shrine offensive to their beliefs.

A pitched battle of magic, stealth, and arms ensues in the neighborhood, leaving one Bleaker dead, several Doomguard incinerated, and the block burning...
