With the siege of Drose reaching its conclusion. Most of the party helps the citizens as best as possible and regroups outside the temple. As the adrenaline leaves Hoshino, he’s shocked and heads to the Inn with Glad. The party, minus Zechs, catches each other up on what they’ve experienced and uses their shared knowledge to inform their next steps. Together, they recount the story Bound to the Void, the conversation that Gerviss had with Salix, Arguile had with Ÿbo, and any other information they’ve gathered so far. It’s decided that Arguile would likely need to speak with Fel once more and Ÿbo again after that. Salix speaks to Gerviss and he informs them that Iolan and Ÿbo are lovers. Outside of that, he didn’t have much more information to offer as he was unaware of their story.

On the other hand, Zechs decides to head back to the Scholar’s Enclave to seek information regarding the creatures that attempted to overtake the city and figure out any info regarding Eldertwine. Regrouping with the rest of the team, Zechs catches up and divulges the information he gleaned to the team. A critical few details arise… Iolan mentioned Hoshino Matsuo by his full name and said she was there to give her regards. She spoke with Arguile directly briefly and insulated that Ÿbo was not trustworthy. Together, they head over to Tozi and explain what happened based on what they saw. They also give her information about Iolan being the culprit. Tozi is grateful for their help in protecting the city and its people. She asks that the group remain in Drose for a few more days to ensure the citizens' safety in the event of another attack. The party agrees, and they again begin to disperse throughout the city. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…
