Recap
A public-holiday session. The party learned that Sim was a gnome from Bosia who ran torture chambers under the Sepulchre. Disguised in stolen tabards, they walked a "prisoner" Braggum into The Deathtower, but Sim knew they were coming: the necklace from the lizard village was a tracker. Sim was Simeria, a blue-robed dragon with acid breath, and he fled to his roost about two days' ride away. Cirella helped an archaeologist find "the city beneath the city".
Nearby they met Tucker, "the saddest man in the world", and cleared the kobold castle that demanded tithes from his village by drowning it. The party reached level 8. Bragg dropped dead leaving the ruin, and Cirella revivified him.
