In today’s episode, the party finally gets a moment to breathe at the Blue Water Inn, enjoying warm food, fine wine, and the Martikovs’ hospitality. There they meet Rictavio, an eccentric half‑elf carnival ringmaster with a flair for outrageous tales… though something about him suggests there’s more beneath the surface.

After a much‑needed rest, Jim rejoins the group, guided back by a vision from Lathander. But morning in Vallaki quickly shatters any illusion of safety. The Baron’s rule proves anything but benevolent, and the party witnesses Izek Strazni—his volatile enforcer—publicly dragging an elderly woman through the streets in a display of brutal authority.

Darker news soon follows. Father Lucian and Ireena reveal that the sacred Bones of St. Andral have been stolen.

Who took them… and what happens when Vallaki loses its last line of protection?
