Aa'shen went for a walk and, while passing through the slums, saw a large number of priests of the Church of Ƶycie. He questioned them and learned that they are working on containing the outbreak of Heartfire.

Alex went gambling.

Goldie and Wipfaarr crossed the Crystal Run to the north side of Firresse. They went to the Artists' Guildhall where they commissioned a landscape artist to make a quick and rough poster of Wipfaar that looks vaguely like a wanted poster which says "Have you seen this man? Now you have. Cherish it."

Then, they all met up at the elven party in the Old Deer Bar and Inn. There, they talked to a few different people including Nessos and Kraz.

Alex heads back inside and informs the other party members, who stop him via Goldie casting sleep on him and then they poured most of the vial on the ground and pocketed the rest.
Meanwhile, Adran snuck into the back alley and wild shaped into a cat to follow Bartomuth while the rest of the party went to sleep
