Recap of the Frieren anime episode 15
Episode 15 kicked off with the Elven Mage and her party arriving at a village where they found everyone asleep. Upon closer inspection, Sein deduced that it was the work of a curse.
Since only priests, endowed with the Magic of the Goddess, could purify curses, Sein resolved to locate its actual root. Although the curse affected Fern, Stark, and Frieren and put them to sleep, the priest remained unaffected because he had the "Blessing of the Goddess."
Following that, Sein located the Chaos Monster, which was behind the curse. While the Priest tried to take on the monster himself, he found its Reflective Petals troublesome.
As such, he had no other choice but to use the spell to wake Frieren for five seconds, who hit the monster's core part to kill it. After rescuing the villagers, the party moved along and arrived at the Fortress of the Vorig, where they met the Orden Family's head.
The veteran man asked Stark to carry out a specific request and even promised rewards. According to him, his son, whose face resembled Stark, had died a hero's death while fighting a demon.
However, he kept his son's death a secret from most of his men, because he didn't want to diminish their morale. Since there was going to be a social gathering where many influential people of his region would come, he wanted Stark to disguise himself as his late son.
As such, the Elven Mage and Stark accepted the request and carried out what was asked of him. The episode ended with Frieren having difficulty choosing a Grimoire as her gift from the Orden Family's library.
