- -The Ashes of Napkit (Aeldevan’s cutscene)
- -Magra tries to look for shelter, but the shrooms she ate earlier are starting to take effect; Feyre thinks it's funny to yell that there are spiders behind Magra, but she's heavily tripping, so she runs away from the spiders that aren't there straight through a door into the closest building, which happens to have plants growing throughout and cobwebs galore; luckily, the building seems stable enough for the night.
- -We find her sitting in the center of the room on the floor; Aeldevan lets her hold Drifty in a red-orange light
- -We can see clearly that this was a carpenter's house filled with doors, but luckily Magra is unaware
- -Feyre says to Magra that there's a spider on her back, so she screams, sees a door, smashes her head on it, and knocks herself out
- MORNING: Magra wakes up completely nude but is for the most part okay and notices all the doors including the one with her head-shaped hole
- -Feyre feels a little under the weather but is quickly fine again
- -Aeldevan asks Skamos to mend his family's sword
- -We continue on to Feyre's woods along a trail, eventually seeing Gangleberry Forest to the left
- Aglath Alm (Feyre’s cutscene)
- -After Feyre visits the remnants of her home and graves of her parents, we continue to the bridge towards Boogleberry Swamp; she is not ready to visit Sootberry, so we continue on towards Everlit.
- -We hear a clopping behind us and turn to see the top of a wagon over the brush; Feyre sneaks back to investigate and hides, only to rush out and hug Jacob; he comes to meet the rest of us and compliments Magra's tree pose, which she used to try to camouflage amongst all the burnt trees
- -He tells us that after we beat the bandits, they started traveling the roads more like they used to to Everlit to deliver their ale
- -Aeldevan offers us to all travel together, and we can all drink some ale and have some of Feyre's magic mushroom stew (Jacob happened to have some in his pouch, and Magra had some remaining in her stash)
- -The day being uneventful otherwise, the sun starts to go down as it becomes windy with light snow, so we set up camp
- -Aeldevan helps Feyre fish in a nearby brook, catching a large pregnant rainbow trout, enough for 4lbs fish meat and 1lb caviar for stew; on the way back, Feyre drags the chum bag along the ground, hoping to attract a gator
- -Meanwhile, Magra and Jacob canoodle in a shaking bush while Skamos watches, using his Rhythm-Maker's drum to play music (Paula Cole's "I Don't Want to Wait"), causing the bush to shake in time with the drum
- -Feyre and Aeldevan come back to witness this, seeing Ilyana at the edge of camp in horror, when Feyre hears something behind her as her Weapon of Warning alerts us to two huge alligators coming up behind us; Magra only came out because she smelled fish, and Skamos's pants are still unzipped
- BATTLE: giant alligator (crocodile) x2
- -a1 bites Feyre and knocks her prone with its tail; Skamos casts Dissonant Whispers on it, allowing Aeldevan an opportunity attack. a2 tail whips Aeldevan, but he succeeds against being knocked prone. a1 grabs Feyre in its mouth, but she manages to pour poison down its throat and escape. A casts Ice Storm on a2, but a1 knocks Aeldevan prone. Skamos casts Dissonant Whispers on a2, saying something so bad that it can't be repeated and killing it. Feyre disfigures a1 with her scimitar and dagger, then Aeldevan gets hit by its tail from an opportunity attack. He then casts Call Lightning before shifting into a giant constrictor snake, and Skamos casts Cloud of Daggers. Feyre rages, flipping from prone onto a1's head, then takes both swords and gives the giant crocodile a giant smile.
- HARVEST: Magra gets croc teeth, skin, and 9lbs of meat; Feyre gets the same but 5lbs of meat.
- -Feyre makes jerky out of all the meat except for 4lbs, which she uses for her swamp stew, also containing rainbow fish and magic mushrooms (with some more unstealthily tossed in by Magra for good measure Feyre rolls the caviar into edible leaves as an appetizer along with some Good Berries provided by Aeldevan.
- -We all have a wild night around the fire
- -Magra retells the tale of her aunt's head centerpiece
- -Feyre tries to read Jacob's palm, but Magra gets upset (jealous even? Jacob assures her that there's plenty of him to go around, when Feyre says there's a reason she's good at cutting fish
- -After eating, Skamos and Jacob start tripping ballz, so Jacob goes back into the bush crying because he can't handle it
- -Managing to not fall in the fire, Feyre does a fire dance, while Magra chants as it starts to rain
- -Feyre passes out as does Jacob in his bush
- -Skamos sings with Magra, then she goes to sleep with Jacob
- -Aeldevan and Skamos go off into a different bush, and Skamos tries to do stuff with him, but Aeldevan doesn't want to while Skamos is so intoxicated.
- -Other than that, the night is pretty uneventful.
- MORNING: cold and clear
- -Feyre feels the urge to vomit and throws up in the nearest bush, which happens to be Magra and Jacob's; this wakes everyone especially him since he took most of the blow
- -Continuing to Everlit, the rest of the 2-3-day journey is uneventful, when we finally arrive at the west gate
- EVERLIT:
- -Mountains to the north and south; main road traveling east and west; minor road heading north
- -Main roads are always bathed in low light, hence the city's name
- -Radiant Square at the center, it is the continent's hub for tourists and shops, with towers and a mystic quarter
- -Glowstone Alley is filled with artisans and craftsmen selling mystical trinkets and armor
- -Nature's Haven provides a peaceful scene away from the city's hustle and bustle, with gardens, groves, and streams; it even has a luminescent arbor tree, known to attract fey wild creatures from time to time
- -Everlit's boarders are made of tall, thick, magical ward-woven walls, which are currently being repaired by dwarven masons from what looks like recent damage
- -The Gloaming (dusk) Portal marks the west gate, the Solaris Portal the east
- -Way of Shadow is a narrow alley filled with shadows that lends to more black-market items; only at direct noon does any light reach the ground
- ----
- -Feyre runs through the gate to some food stands to get a corn bratwurst with mustard
- -Jacob splits off to Rumbling Mug tavern but will catch up with us tomorrow
- -Skamos leads us to an inn near the stables, past Tree Log and Stone Forest, into a narrow one-way alley of an affluent area
- -We arrive at Velvet Serpent Lounge, owned by a deep-purple Tiefling with elegant horns known for her discretion, Madame Celine Nightshade
- -Almost immediately, Skamos starts performing while Feyre and Magra act as backup singers all singing about getting high (Afroman's "Because I Got High")
- -Because the song brought in more people and more business, Skamos earned 25gp and free lodging for him and his friends
- -Feyre gets a drink for everyone, the first round being on the house, and we all order food
- -Aeldevan asks Madame Nightshade if Skamos seemed familiar; she says although the song was unique, his appearance does remind her of a Tiefling she used to know
- -Towards the end of Skamos's performance, he catches a glimpse of a woman who looks like his mother in the crowd, but when he looks again he sees her leaving
