This session ended on 25 Mirtul 1372 game-time and was played on 4 May 2002(?) More first person from Cecil:

"And present itself it did. We headed to a tavern to find information. There weren't a large number of outsiders in the city, apparently, so they were curious as to where we came from. Rurik told the truth. I cautioned him about that, not that it did any good. Now, I'm all for being honest, but that sort of truth gets one thought to be cursed if people believe it, and crazy if they don't. I tried to claim it was the liquor talking.

"'Don't mind him; he's just drunk,' I said. 'How many have you had?'

"'Just this one,' he replied, pointing at a half-empty mug.

"Nevertheless, more careful discussion netted us a number of useful facts, namely that an old hermit named Franch had mumbled something about switching bodies some years ago and that we were now north-east of the Sea of Fallen Stars instead of north-west.

"Franch was a curious old fellow. He lived a very tall tower on the town's outskirts. His butler only let us in after much pleading and mention of body-switching. We climbed the long circular staircase up to the very top, and there we found a bent-over, wild-eyed old man playing a pipe organ. He insisted we listen to him play.

"At any rate, he said he could make a potion to switch us back, but first he needed a few ingredients: a pegasus feather, a petal from a sightless rose (a rose with transparent petals), and a Halco stone (a naturally mirror-like rock). He knew a man in Nathoud to the north who could supply the pegasus feather, but the other two were left to us.

"We split into three groups: Rurik and Wan went to Nathoud for a pegasus feather, Aeron and Matthias headed to Thay Mount where a book at the library said a Halco stone might be found, and Karn and myself headed for Ashenwood, where a sightless rose might be found, according to the library."
