The Mushroom Seam

  Haida fell into the river and injured herself, losing consciousness. Davaa, with the assistance of Evsalom, attempted to pull the drowning woman ashore. They struggled to find purchase against the tide, but Kaziel used a firebolt to knock down a mushroom crown that they were able to use as a float. Davaa left Evsalom to revive her while he checked on the others. It was a close call, but Evsalom brought her back and the two of them made it to shore in time to have to flee from the slithering horrors.   Haida then left with the group of survivors on their way to find an exit to the Seam. When the party split in order to explore the source of the strange sounds, Haida decided to stay back with Nadir, Sahar, and Saidari. However, when the call for Nadir came, Haida immediately followed, not wanting to be left behind.   After the battle against the Horned creatures, Haida was revealed to be flirting with Evsalom and staying close to him. Later, when Kaziel revealed the death of Abdamar to Evsalom, Haida approached him to learn what had upset Evsalom. During the conversation, she revealed that she had information about Evsalom and was intending to blackmail Abdamar, however with Abdamar's death, her plans would need to change.
