	The three [[casters]] all realized that he hadn't ordered them into the [[Portal]], and [[Maggie]] suggested that it was because of the Summoning [[Spell]] that brought [[Parson]] to [[Erfworld]]. The spell had the effect of disbanding him if he ever disobeyed orders, and so he could not order the casters away, because he may still have a hope for victory. Parson revealed an inner suspicion: he had been planning to put his gamers back on Earth through a game they could not win without cheating, and to ensure that happened, he planned to cheat them if they ever started winning honestly. He suspected this was happening to himself, and so to win, he needed to cheat.

[[Parson]], hearing the task had succeeded, hesitated then ordered the linked [[Casters]] through the [[Portal]].
