Day 25 The party leave Fen Den. Gerald Knott sings a song along the way.


 * I woke up this morning and asked myself,
 * Is life worth living without chat himself?
 * He was our core, our party's soul,
 * Now he's gone we're not whole.
 * No one gave a damn about him, he was a zero,
 * But now he is dead we sing like he's a hero.
 * Is that right? Is that fair?
 * His life was cut short without a care.
 * By a dastard whose name I dispise,
 * I may wish for his timely demise.
 * In times dire, we should all desire,
 * A better place, where horses ever grace.
 * For Chad Barbo strong, for him our hearts will long.

Day 27 The party arrive back at the Hill Giant's cave. Lock & Gerald dig a grave outside as Midori & Captain Barbo go inside. Midori finds Chad's body hasn't decomposed at all.

Captain Barbo insists that Chad would like to be buried so he Chad is put into the gave and buried. The party say words over the grave. Midori puts her last bottle of alcohol and her necklace on the grave and walks away.
