- As Theophania, Lyrielle, and Osiris are exiting Callie's bed chamber, Magnus throws opening his door yelling "Stay away from us!"
- There is an explosion and Osiris and Theophania are thrown down the stairs and injures them both rather badly.
- Tiff pulls herself painfully back up the staircase followed by Raiàn and Rusty
- After they give him a chance to see Callie for himself, Raiàn scares him with an illusory fireball and then everyone scolds him for his lack of situational awareness, so then he retires to his own bed chamber for the rest of the night
- They all decide to sleep at the boardinghouse in case the Black Bloods aren't as good as their word for Rusty's protection
- The next morning they all awake to the smell of cooking bacon as Magnus is making breakfast, you know, because he feels bad for blowing up a half-formed fireball in their faces and knocking them down the stairs
- Theophania then expounds a bit on her thoughts on tracking the spells that affect their brains both to figure out who is messing with their dreams and who is sending Sending messages as The Voice ("TV")
- The bacon is delicious and crispy, but he accidentally put chili powder instead of cinnamon in the pancakes
- They head back to the Temple where Osiris checks in on the Acid Resistance potions that she had an acolyte brewing and so that Theophania can start researching more about Sending spells
- They settle in to do some research on Sending and telepathy type spells in order for Theophania to try to figure out the way to track the source of such a spell
- While the research is happening, Osiris goes to a jewelry shop and buys a 65 GP Ruby and then brings it back for Tiff to pulverize
- Lyrielle gets lost in books that are not as helpful to the cause, but she does learn a few new songs for her flute
- Rusty wanders off to see if the sewers are passable, and they are half-full of water, so not so much. He's hoping that if the dragon was hiding in the sewers the water might drive it out, so he heads the river side of the Temple to watch for any signs of it. He thinks he sees something black streak of a sludgy looking something out of the bank on the opposite side, so he runs for his friends
- He gets Tiff from the library and they go to the location from which the sludge is emanating and tie a rope around Theophania and she climbs down the river bank and uses the rope anchor to lean way out and inspect and ends up falling in the mud several times and then the river due to rope issues, also through the sludge.
- The black sludge smells putrid and is sticky like peanut butter, but it is not caustic on her skin. It's definitely fecal matter with something else in it too. Theophania is coated in it.
- She scrapes some of it off into vials for testing, and then tries not to let any part of her body touch any other part of her body on the way back to the Temple
- 500 XP ea for 8,640 XP total ea.
