The Rebound

Discovery, Exploration

After waking up and regrouping, Alfie and Day find themselves with goop on their heads and messages left by Arnie, indicating that the party has gone to the hospital to check on Chava. Following Bartleby's information, they head to the hospital but are surprised to find it in disarray and the party nowhere to be seen. Speaking with the staff, they learn about the outbreak of Reselin. Puzzled by the situation, they decide to return to the Golden Tankard and discuss their suspicions about Bartleby's involvement in the strange events happening in Crulahn. Upon reaching the tavern, Bartleby presents them with a journal left by the woman who previously approached the three of them. The journal mentions children trapped in the sewers and warns about alligators and goons. Determined to follow this lead, Day and Alfie devise a plan, pretending to be a married couple named "Bill" and head to the uncle of the woman who left the journal. The uncle reveals that he had given the only map to three individuals who visited him earlier. Realizing they are on the right track, Day and Alfie head towards the sewers.   They locate an entrance and enter a narrow tunnel system. Using Jasper, to scout ahead, they discover a closed room with multiple voices. Opting to go in the opposite direction, they find themselves in a wider area where they hear shuffling sounds and the rapid movements of a creature on the sewer floor. As they continue, they come across a room where they spot Arnie seemingly held at gunpoint. However, Alfie and Day have the advantage in this situation.
