Summary[]
In a flashback sequence, Goblin Slayer as a boy was trained his his Sensei, who taunts him and drills him with riddles. The boy answered them all and the Sensei ended with a last riddle, "What is in my pocket?"
In present time, Goblin Slayer makes a miraculous recovery thanks to Priestess and her part in the resurrection ritual. While the rest of the party continues to scout the sewers, Goblin Slayer and Priestess spend the day in town re-outfitting and having ice cream at the pier. They meet Witch and Spearman who have delivered an item at Goblin Slayer's request that will soon prove invaluable for their next journey into the sewers.
The party regroups with Goblin Slayer and Priestess, and they descend into the sewers once more to find a Giant Eye. With a little ingenuity, the party easily defeats the creature by getting it to incinerate itself by having it fire in a room filled with flour.

Episode Notes[]
- The nickname "Burglar" and the last riddle, "What is in my pocket?" - is likely a reference to Bilbo Baggins of The Hobbit.
- The fight where the party fights against the Giant Eye is shortened, and because of that, some parts of the dialogue, including High Elf Archer mentioning her sister, was cut.
