Envoy and Elise are going up the mountain in Gorphat's dream realm, when a carriage comes up, pulled by diseased Eeee who have been promised relief from their illnesses if the carriage gets to the top of the mountain. Envoy and Elise get into the carriage, which is drawn by a priestess of Gorphat, but Elise is uneasy when she realizes that the carriage appears to have been crafted from the carcasses of Eeee … and even more so when she realizes that children are being used to pull the carriage. Elise asks the priestess to stop, despite Envoy's concerns that this might be a "trap", and she offers to help pull the carriage. Although the priestess whips Elise severely along with the others and the way is hard, they manage to pull the carriage up the path until they reach a wall blocking the way.
The priestess goes around to a buggy on the other side, but Elise realizes that if the carriage isn't taken to the top of the hill, the deal is forfeit to cure the diseases of those pulling the wagon. Elise tries pushing at the wall, and finds that it is of flimsy construction. With some help, she gives it a shove, and it comes crashing down … falling on the priestess, who was sitting and waiting on the other side!
The rubble is cleared away, and it turns out that the priestess is dead. Her body is tossed to the side, along with the other corpses laying all about, and the way is cleared to travel onward, up the path of Gorphat.
