To the Fungal Wall

In downtime Scribble researched Creatis in the library: a militaristic state, allied with Duskmere, which had deliberately withheld from Creatis how to counter illusion and enchantment magic. Creatis keeps The Beastlands at bay with a boatload of livestock each month. Scribble visited the Shrine of the Last, where a block of Nethershaper obsidian (Mol'maroch The Nethershaper) still floats under heavy guard, the place where Herentor cast his great spells.

SAM looked for signs that Hor approved of him and took a new revenge task, tried to unionise the guards, and bought 15% of The Bizarre Bazaar from the last surviving brother, who was selling up to fund bringing his brothers back to life. The party found Ebony catatonic. Olaf visited the Temple of Myrkul to find other locations and built an adapter to fly the airship manually.

The party flew to The Fungal Wall, losing three manticore riders who followed them along the forest edge. At the wall, Keso's pendant glowed bright green; the mushrooms welcomed the party, and black wisps wrapped around Keso's torso.
