The Night Battle in the Crypt pitted Ärsvan and Alexio against an infraplanar creature in the relic crypt of the Temple.
- Result: Alexio dies. Ärsvan survives; he apparently vanishes from the scene.
- Consequences: Alexio is the first companion to die in the gesta (campaign-cycle). The company is divided, since Ärsvan turns up in the enemy camp, and morale is weakened.
