It’s the finale of B3: Palace of the Silver Princess and we have the ruby in hand… but this castle still has teeth!

After an art gallery of doors and a teacup named Spotify, Russell and Jeramy finally come to the most infamous room in the book and, perhaps, all of D&D history: the illusion-wielding Decapus, a monster so powerful it critically hit the module itself.

Just when it feels like the Palace is out of curveballs to throw, it hits you with a surprise climax no one saw coming: a BBEG who’s willing to make a deal.

Holy tonal shift Batman! Part 3 of Palace of the Silver Princess goes from poetry fragments and hat pins to Uncle Travis’ Murder Emporium faster than you can say weapon-tailed marmoset. Russell and Jeramy then head to the tower to meet its weird, alignment-obsessed alien(?) guards and the infamous three-headed, multigender Ubues, which turn out to be more wacky than salacious.

It all leads up to the climactic discovery of that colossal, fortune-making ruby from the beginning of the module… which turns out to be less “dragons hoard” and more “impulse buy”.

It’s time to kick in the gate and get real weird as Russell and Jeramy charge headlong into the titular Palace of the Silver Princess! The guys accomplish a bit of a speed run, lucking into empty chamber after empty chamber, fall face first into a Rube Goldbergian pit trap, attend an impromptu gender reveal, and find the first clues as to the final resting place of the colossal ruby called My Lady’s Heart.
