Michael's Report, 2023-01-01
General Summary
Last session, we discovered that the Crow's Eye Lighthouse is occupied by a simulacrum of Lashan Valchek vas Koros. She has made her own version of the simulacrum spell that uses ash instead of ice, though it has the downside that the simulacrums decay over time. The timber is delivered to her to be burned as a source of ash. We didn't learn much else from her, except to help clarify how far her temper can be pushed before she snaps.
Vathash did manage to learn a bit more about her in the Archives, mainly that she has clashed with the former adventuring party of Lana ‘Silverhair’ Barrentide, the Lady Bright. It was Lana that destroyed her arm, about three decades prior.
In the evening, we interrogated the druid assassin witht the benefit of the Detect Thoughts spell, learning that her name is Nymia Farrow. We also learned that her boss is Eletha Erharice, and learned the location of Eletha's camp outside of Brightridge. Shenanigans ensued, as we successfully prevented Nymia from sending a warning to Eletha, while still letting Nymia believe the message had been sent.

Wash asked what the spell was - passed the 18 DC barely, with help from guidance
