[[Limmos]] disperses the guards and takes the party towards a better place for chatting. On the way, [[Pip]] passes along the message from the fire giant. This message causes [[Limmos]] fear for some reason. She explains that the fire giants are going to destroy [[Jern]]. She voices her objection to the existence of [[Jaezred]] (since he’s undead) and asks the party how they feel about him. Only Tal votes for his destructin, so she allows him to live. She explains she will evacuate the remaining people in [[Jern]] through the teleportation circles. She thinks she should be able to complete the evacuation before the fire giants plan to destroy [[Jern]].
The party begins discussing their next objective. It seems like most of them are up for trying to solve Tal’s problems. The options are discussed: go to the plane of water (still need ways for a couple party members to breathe water) or find a way to collect a water essence on Vecrum. The water mages of Aquum might be able to help. [[Pip]] suggests going to the wishing well in Bimoranto. Tal is gifted a new set of nice clothes.
Party breaks up for the night. Tal is informed that an airship docked near the teleport gem mine. On it was Urilian’s friend Shelldon, who was rescued by one of [[Limmos]]’s guards investigating. A strange old woman charms the dwarves off the ship and takes control. Tal Sends several messages to Urilian to update him on Tal’s new situation and get updated on what’s going on with them.
In the morning, [[Limmos]] explains that she has discovered that the airship was authorized by a scroll signed by [[Dinus]], who has been missing for a month. Party decides to go check it out. Decide to send [[Pip]] carrying [[Camden]] flying there so [[Camden]] can become familiar with the location and teleport the party there. [[Coyra]], [[Jaezred]], Tal, and [[Urtho]] wander to a shop and look around while they wait. [[Urtho]] goes to a library to try to learn about Tiamat.
[[Coyra]] chats with Tal, explaining that she’s looking for a witch to help her remove the curse from her pet toad, but not now (later, when they have free time). Tal offers to help. Short rest.
The party teleports to near the ship. [[Pip]] decides not to risk the teleport and flies, so he takes a while longer. Someone from the airship shoots a couple arrows at [[Coyra]]. Tal casts Fog Cloud on the party. The party enters the building near the ship and the teleport gem mine. They find mind controlled dwarves doing mining things. Search for the old/young lady that [[Pip]] and [[Camden]] fought but can’t find her in the building. [[Coyra]] examines a mirror and the lady appears and magically ages her then runs away. Chase outside. The airship takes off slowly. The lady has illusions of herself. Tal flies up to the airship and discovers that the whole thing is an illusion. The lady uses a magic ring to teleport a short distance from the party and starts to run away.
