Gameplay

• Rowena successfully healed Kimber of his wound. It was revealed through asking a lot of questions that he had been stabbed with a blade made of something called Devil's Spit (Strolen Submission pending), the tip of which had lodged in his back. The metal burns to the touch, glows a faint green, and causes insanity over long exposure.
• Albert and Valen spoke to Obyn and Hoel regarding the events taking place in Pyrim. Hoel mostly informed them about Devil's Spit, and Obyn revealed to them his thoughts on the people he had them investigate. Obyn's mostly convinced that those he named are either part of the conspiracy or part of an illicit drug trade.
• Ruz and Rowena learned about Devil's Spit from Neva, the local alchemist.
• Sylvie questioned Berwyn, a man who had intended up stealing from Obyn's shop the night Boyd was murdered. Berwyn indicated that Obyn and Boyd had argued, and that Obyn had left angrily.
• Bretia met a group of vagrants living in a small cave dug under an abandoned shack almost out of the city walls. They shared a good amount of information to her, and informed her of a small religious service taking place in two in-game days.
• Albert and Valen asked Obyn to set them up to meet Agrivaine.
• Althalos managed to catch up to Morano, who had been rescued from his kidnappers by Zarek Tor. Althalos found him in the company of Lord Brown, cousin of the king.
• Kimber is now fully awake and will almost fully recover.

Plans

• Morano is currently not informed all that well about current events, and will need to be brought back up to speed
• Corbin's inn is going to have a fire set by Obyn's agents overnight. This is because they have been pursuing the Locust too openly.
