- Warden buys a nice stick for 3 cp after the omens told him to.
- They set up their tents on the outskirts of the tent city and spend the night.
- They leave for Olath, a journey that takes 5 days.
- In Olath, they speak to the locals and hear stories of the Mourning. They ask about Shadukar and learn about the massacre, with most of the people telling them the city is cursed.
- They arrive at the ruins of Shadukar, Warden gets bad omens.
- They decide to commemorate the fallen at Shadukar, and set up a little camp to have a somber drink. While doing so, Warden notices strange lights in the city, hard to see because it's day time.
- The lights gather round the party, and they investigate.
- Dax' Athla has seen these things before, they have stories of them in Q'barra. They are Will O' Wisps, and whilst they seem cute or benevolent, they lead people to their deaths.
- Kalshana mind links with a wisp, it's very sad. More wisps are gathering.
- After some time, the wisps start to blink out. As they do, a shadow passes overhead and they notice the sky filling with wyverns.
- A huge wyvern lands and warns them that they shouldn't be here. The wyvern is named Rhirithrax, and she is an Elder Wyvern.
- Rhirithrax warns them that the wisps are predatory, and were likely just gathering the numbers to kill them. She tells the party to leave the city, and the wyverns will provide protection until they are safely out of the walls.
- The party leaves on the advice of the giant wyvern, and continues on to Flamekeep.
- They arrive at Flamekeep, and see the magnificent Cathedral of the Silver Flame.
- On the way in, they receive a Sending from Lhara informing them that the Deathsgate Explorers' Club took the job to go to Icewhite Island and haven't returned. There is now time pressure, and if the party don't want the job, someone else will have to go.
- Dax will get answers, they make no decisions until Dax has seen Jaela Daran.
