The party wakes up in the inn the next morning. Skaemon feels something drawing his attention from his bag of holding. He pulls out the mysterious gemstone they found with his staff and through it gets a message from the person that left it.
Afterwards the crew the discusses everything they saw the day before and together decide they need to relocate to a different part of town. The party exits the inn to find the angry councilman, Quarth Drume, from yesterday waiting out front with more guards. And both of the kids they helped the day before.
The party gets ready for a scuffle, but Jessica is able to talk everyone down. The councilman ultimately excepts Jessica’s judgement and allows the kids to be banished from the city.
Coil and Skaemon separate to go find a safehouse. They find a recently abandoned house with bodies in the basement. Coil and Skaemon, not wanting to get involved, bail on the house like they were never there.
The rest of the party goes to find a magical weapon for Jessica. They find a strange weapons salesman, but ultimately decide not to buy.
Skaemon decides to head back to the rest of the group, while Coil tries a more obviously abandoned house. He finds it full of squatters already. They attack him and get in several lucky hits. Coil tries to teleport away, but it’s too bright outside. Coil has to fight the squatters to get out safely. He decides to stay behind and hide the bodies now that the house is clear.
They party, minus Coil, decide to investigate the spy further and they all head back to Skaemons old house. After finding that someone had been there after them they choose to go after the person that was spying on them the previous night.
