WILLIAM RETURNS, but this isn't called William Mills Could've Been Stopped BECAUSE LET US NOT DECEIVE OURSELVES: he couldn't have been.

Mahāla makes her way into the City of Absalom with the help of a LITTLE WIZARD BOY, manages to secure lodgings without setting herself on fire and meets a pair of MYSTERIOUS TRAVELERS who may hold the key to completing her quest, despite how early in the module it is!
