Harold's Adventures in the City
- Harold left Tiana's family home behind and continued searching for clues
- Harold attempted to gain entry to the Halls of Government, but was turned away by the guards.
- Harold visited the library and stole a series of local announcements from recent weeks (basically, a binder filled with newspaper articles).
- Harold disguised himself as Alton, called himself Balton, and entered a shopping center.
- Harold scared some customers out of a sketchy shop.
- Harold attempted to find the local thieves' guild equivalent, but did not know any code words and only managed to confuse the sketchy shop keepers.
- Harold visited a damaged portion of the shopping area, and found a strange star symbol on the wall behind some racks of clothing. Following one of the starpoints (up) he found a narrow passage behind a tile. He crawled through it to a circle which teleported him elsewhere when touched.
Alton and Beau's Adventures
- Alton and Beau left Tiana's family home with Ryltar and Fernando.
- Alton asked Ryltar to investigate the strange gem he had found aboard the downed ship
- Alton climbed up some temporary construction scaffolding and pulleys, and was told to get off someone's balcony.
- Beau and Alton struggled to reach the tree houses again, climbing using Alton's strength and Beau's rope of clinging.
- Alton spoke with a group of sky elf children who were playing on a bridge. These children revealed that they had defnitely been safe inside the secret bunkers during the attack and had definitely not snuck out at any point. Although, someone's friend reportedly saw Tiana and her cousin Tsarra on the forest floor just before the fight.
- Alton and Beau found signs of a fight, and a sealed bunker. They did not see any passwords.
Alton Returns to the Ethereal
- Alton used his ring to enter the ethereal plane for the first time since Rust died.
- He found a deformed Dainard still watching the captain and screaming.
- He visited the downed boat and met a ghost, the ghost of the captain of the ship. She revealed that they were supposed to have been welcomed to the city, to liberate it or something, but weren't. She seemed caught in the moment of drowning.
- Alton spied on Tiana's grandfather from the ethereal.
- Ryulian seemed to sense a presence, asking "Is that you my dear?"
- Ryulian was writing a clearly coded letter to someone.
- Alton found a secret study behind the wall.
- On the desk was a book titled The Mosslands, written by M. Whisperson.
- There was a map of Kariva with the city of Port circled.
- There was an old uniform on display in the corner of the room
- There was a hunting kit similar to those found in the abandoned company outpost in the room as well.
- There was a paining of the city, from a long ago time, on the wall.
- Alton attempted to prank Ryulian on his way out and was sealed in a maze briefly, escaping only to find himself in a paining.
- Alton called for help. Vaena attacked Ryulian while Ryltar, Fernando, and Beau were on their way.
- Alton called upon his rage to break through the paining back into the room.
Harold Murders a Man
- On the other side of the portal, Harold found himself in a cave filled with lianyte. He found several circles, portals?, on the walls and ceiling. Those he had not entered from did not seem to activate when he touched them. He flew down a tunnel and found an underground market, reminiscent of Celeb's Undermarket.
- "Balton" attempted to cut deal with a potion and ammunition seller named Fran, offering his "services". Fran agreed to help him if he could "get rid of" Jack, a slimy rival.
- Jack was offering a 2 for 1 special on "fire explody potions", which Harold did not buy.
- While trying to find a position to cause trouble for Jack, Harold met Qildor, a sky elf merchant selling lemons.
- Harold bought some information from Qildor, and left him the dusty wine bottle he had found in the dwarven ruins near the Pocketwatch. Harold learned that Tiana's cousin, Tsarra, had joined with the Fajyri-Notuan Alliance. She had reportedly failed her mission in Hairavamysar but had returned to the Fajyri.
- On his way back, Harold retrieved some lianyte before noting two sky elves with a large chest. He was pursued by crystal lizards.
- When the sky elves refused to reveal what they were carrying, Harold followed them. A fight ensued. One of the sky elves displayed some strange shadow powers, powers Harold had been "tempted" by once before. One of the sky elves turned invisible and escaped with the chest. The other sky elf took massive damage and stumbled through a portal with residual damage pending.
- Harold returned to Hairavamysar, and resumed his normal appearance.
