C2E23: Sprouts

With the group safe at the Lighthouse, the party relaxes and prepares for their next adventure. After the dinner, which Pinky and herself helped prepare, Alia heads up to the Hall of Remembrance. She finds the nameplate of her father and talks to him, relaying all the recent stories. A little while later, Barren joins her, clearly under the influence of alcohol. He reveals that his grandfather, who raised him, Carlisle Ravenfrost, was also a Vigil, and they can locate his nameplate not too far away from Alia's father. They are then joined by Moss, wandering through the immense structure. Not too long after the start of their discussion, Moss loses feeling in his left arm and starts to be racked with pain. He runs from his comrades to find a way to relieve his pain and then hides in his room, passing out soon after fan-like mushrooms start to sprout out of his arm, and the presence of another being enters his mind. Earlier in the evening, Barenn revisited Illain Bjernhart, where they shared a terse and hostile conversation. Barenn wanted to clarify that he has no trust in her as her heritage as a witch can be damning. He warned her that he would be watching her like how the yellow-eyed witch from a childhood story watched her prey. The week of downtime starts in earnest; Barenn and Ren join on a fishing trip to the not-so-secret fishing spot, where they then need to compete for the top spot of fishing.
