The group returned to Grissenwald after escaping the burning tower. Though they had yet to locate Etelka Herzen, they discovered a letter addressed to her. This letter indicated that she was searching for an unknown item on behalf of a mysterious party in the Barren Hills.

The group decided to follow the lead and made plans to travel to the Barren Hills. While making preparations, Hargrin visited with Ripwise’s sister Dumpling who informed him of some disturbing news; their previously departed companion Ripwise was feeding the group pies made out of people. Hargrin relayed the information, which had varying degrees of impact on the group: Falco was unphased, Bran became queasy, and Gustav vomited.

The rest of the time in Grissenwald was spent buying supplies and acquiring transportation. Gustav successfully negotiated for a boat to take them to Kemperbad, which was on the way to the Barren Hills.

Shortly after departing, the group noticed an individual selling his wares in a nearby boat on the river. The group instructed their skipper to pull up to the boat in order to browse his stock.  Gustav purchased a blue colored healing potion from the charlatan before carrying on up the river. Later during the trip, Bran noticed that Gustav’s face had turned blue. The group assumed this was caused by the potion, but the correlation is unconfirmed. Regardless, this sent the crooner-of-size into a panic. After the moment passed, Bran amused the others by using his magical powers to cook airborne fish.

Upon arriving in Kemperbad, the group split up in order to carry out different tasks. Gustav searched for lodging, while Falco went to visit a local apothecary to enquire about the Spores he collected in Etelka’s tower. The apothecary informed Falco that the spores will have a negative effect on wizards once exposed.

Bran transformed into a hawk and began surveilling the city, while Hargrin headed in the direction of the dwarven center.

In an exercise in futility, Gustav took a bath.
