The heroes find Jezby's father, unfortunately eaten away by a parasite. They will then have to reach the village of Zagroth, where the mayor seems to act as he sees fit, thanks to what they call "the journey of hope".

Yusuke and Glenda come across a hamlet where the villagers sent on a journey of hope have gradually taken refuge. On the side of the other heroes, their rest is short-lived as the goblins will not give them any respite.
