Mordus wrote a letter to his mother, and the party attempted to attract people for a performance featuring Arkorow (stage name 'Opera'). The performance will take place outside the inn during the Red Harvest Festival. Mordus also asked Hilda Gesby about his crew, but no luck with that. Party did some shopping; Arkorow got a traveler's alchemical kit and a bunch of vials in exchange for the blood of the dragon they slew in the swamp.
Then, the party saw Lorryn Bryson and Kharis, at the northern farm. There they found Avan Bryson, Lorryn's father, whose mind was in poor shape. He could remember no more than a few moments at a time. Then they antagonized the owner of the farm, Eileen Abernathy, and eventually got into a fight; it was revealed the three farm owners were a coven of hags. Two of them were killed in this fight (Machezzar and Withers), but Abernathy escaped. Arkorow was feeling overwhelmed and fainted, at which point he willingly let Morgan take over his body; using Arkorow's body, Morgan blasted Diane Withers, incinerating her. It really helped that they destroyed the hag eye, which blinded the hags for 24 hours.
They then investigated Eileen Abernathy's farmhouse and found a basement. Here they fought Seymour the giant plant monster. They also picked up the robe of smothering, thinking that it was just a robe. No one tried to wear it. They saved nine peasants along with Glacia Autumn, who were held prisoners in this dungeon. Also a lot of looting of poisons.
