The group was able to wish Nyanta into their bloodbrotherhood, and Ivan into their companion spirit.
Upon returning home, Zainab (now reincarnated into an elf, and back to female) sent word to Tiffania that she had a lead on Vulmazio's activity, but she never arrived to the meeting site. It seemed that she had been researching the disappearance of several people that had gone under the guard's suspicion, because of the Cave, and how often people disappear going into it.
Using a butcher shop and tannery to disguise scent, a wizard had been kidnapping people, and bleeding them to develop magical blood crystals that enhanced his sorcery ability with dark magic. He had taken Zainab as well as others. The PCs defeated him, and saw that he and his familiar disintegrated when they died- perhaps as a result of the blood crystal's influence. The battle was watched over with a scrying sensor.
Zainab had been rescued by Ivan Dogeater from her bonds, as well as with his healing, and the party talked up his bravery, so that Zainab began to fall in love with him. They learned she was also involved in research of an alternate clone spell which allowed her to clone her male body and have 2 bodies at once.
While Ivan was out dating Zainab, the PCs saw a celestial earth elemental being harassed in the town square by a sorcerer and some blackguard irregulars.
They were able to talk down the guards, and the sorcerer left. They learned that the Elemental's master, Alice Gryphbane, was captured by serpentfolk and held in a dungeon. It led the PCs to the dungeon.
At the beginning of the dungeon, the saw the sorcerer, who attacked them in an area of grasping vines from the ceiling. They were able to drive him off, but not defeat him, and the party remains at the beginning of the dungeon, ready to enter and save Alice.
