The patrons appear to be just reciting random phrases. At the bar the party recognizes Dierdre, she turns to face them as they enter.

"I'm SO gonna dart the bitch.... you get the woman Feng !!." Limara attempts to frown, being a puppet, she fails. So she stamps her foot instead.</p><p>Beltain runs for the stairs having heard the cries from upstairs!</p><p>Beltain goes white when he enters the bedroom shocked by the scene that meets his eyes. He gets ready to throw a silver dart at creature inhabiting HIS body on the bed. "How could you stoop so low" he mutters under his breath. Beltain throws a dart, it lodges into the headboard of the bed.</p><p>The Beltain in the bed looks down at the puppet Beltain..He begins to jerkily climb out of the bed...</p><p>Beltain looks up at the barn door sized figure and wonders just how he missed - perhaps his hand was shaking so much in anger at the wrongness of the situation.</p><p>Feng moves and grabs the woman, pulling her out of the bed. The woman continues to mutter as Feng holds her "Yes, that was very amenable thank you"</p><p>Limara throws and hits Beltain with a silver needle..Beltain slumps to the floor. </p><p>Although Beltain knows that his next action should be to immediately stab the false Beltain - he gives Limara a huge hug first!. The puppet Beltain moves to his unconscious self and stabs himself in the neck with one of the silver needles...suddenly the puppet Beltain falls to the floor...The human Beltain opens his eyes..</p><p>Seeing Beltain back to his old self, Feng mutters "Lets get back downstairs"</p><p>Beltain nods as he climbs to his feet…his real feet! "Lets be off to find Sir Sparhawk and Limara's bodies. Does anyone have any clues as to where they could be?"</p><p>"Methinks we must just keep searching door by door neighbour" replies Sparhawk.</p><p>Beltain tenderly picks up Limara "The town is burning we need to find those bodies fast.” The party leave the inn.</p><p>Once outside in the square Rizzit notices Wizzy, his familiar. Wizzy is squeaking frantically...obviously wanted Rizzit to follow him. The weasel runs up one of the streets toward the toyshop. Rizzit runs after the weasel, the rest follow. As Rizzit rounds another corner following Wizzy, up ahead he sees two bodies lying on the cobbles outside the tailors shop, which is engulfed in fire. Rizzit can feel the intense heat of the flames on his scales. He indicates to the others to stay back, they would not be able to stand the heat. One of the bodies is that of a child, the other Rizzit immediately recognizes as Limara. He moves quickly to Limara, she appears badly hurt, burnt and unconscious. The child is dead. Rizzit drags Limara down the street toward the rest of the party. Suddenly he spots a child…Giselle..running past the other end of the street. He turns and shouts back to Feng "Damn I see a child in possible trouble, take this potion for Lim Feng." He hands a potion to Feng and runs off after the child.</p><p>Feng cradles Limara’s unconscious corpse and walks back to meet the others.. "Limara..we found ya"</p><p>Limara pushes a silver needle into her own body’s neck. The puppet Limara limply falls to the floor...The real Limara does not move.. Feng pours the potion Rizzit gave him down her throat...her eyes flutter open..</p><p>"ouch...just Sparhawk’s body left to find... looks like you found me just in time, thank you" she says.</p><p>"Lets go find Rizz..we shouldn’t be separated here" says Feng to the rest of the party.</p><p>Beltain hurries up to Limara, uncertain of the reception that he will get, and casts a cure on her.</p><p>Sparhawk looks at the fire taking hold of the houses and sighs "Tis not looking good for my body is it? I don’t think these creatures have the sense to try to avoid the fire"</p><p>Feng looks at the policeman puppet "Spar..dont not give up hope yet..but we must be quick before Poachers lil fire destroys the whole town. Seems a child has for definite, been slain by that idiot. Cmon, lets go after Rizzit."</p><p>Feng picks up the puppet Sparhawk and runs up the street, he passes the shops that are on fire, he can feel the intense heat. He rounds the corner and looks right. He sees Rizzit disappearing into the Sertino household, Giselle’s home. The place of the murder..Feng breaks into a run..</p><p>Rizzit runs into the house. He looks in the front room and kitchen..nothing. He runs upstairs. There are two rooms, he enters the room to the left...Giselle is sitting on the bed. "Hello Mr Rizzit" she says.</p><p>Moments later Feng rushes into the Sertino home. Seeing nothing downstairs the barbarian runs upstairs, with Sparhawk in his hand. He turns into the right room upstairs. The parents bedroom. The body that was there has now gone. Standing in the room is the human Sparhawk "A good deduction my friend" he says bluntly as Feng and Sparhawk enter.</p><p>The puppet Sparhawk throws a silver needle at his human self, it misses. The human Sparhawk slowly and jerkily draws his sword.</p><p>Feng rushes forward and attempts to grapple Sparhawk, but fails to gain a hold. Sparhawk lashes out at Feng, hurting the half-orc. Feng grabs hold of Sparhawk, but the human breaks free of his grip and hits Feng slices at Feng again with his sword. The puppet Sparhawk again throws a silver needle at himself, this time it hits, but the human seems unaffected. Again, Feng attempts to grapple the possessed human, again he fails to get a hold. Sparhawk responds with a mighty blow on the half orc, Feng is badly wounded. "RIZZIT!!" he shouts, knowing somewhere in the house is the kobold. The puppet Sparhawk, in desperation, throws another needle. Part of him is impressed at how his human form is getting the better of Feng, the other part of him is worried as hell.. The needle flies through the air, hitting Sparhawks leg. The human Sparhawk collapses to the floor unconscious. Feng looks down at him, dripping blood.</p><p>The puppet Sparhawk rushes forward and stabs a silver needle into his neck...moments later..Sparhawk awakes in his own body..</p><p>"Lets get the hell outta here" grumbles Feng, looking at his wounds. Rizzit comes into the room. “What the hell!” he states as he spies the state of Feng. “Giselle is in her bedroom, she seems ok. Id suggest we get her outta here”</p><p>Feng, Sparhawk, Rizzit and Giselle leave the Sertino home. The rest of the party meets the others outside.</p><p>Coleridge speaks "We are all restored at last, let us now restore some balance to the town and remove whatever dark force is causing this"</p><p>"Here, here!" agrees Beltain will a great deal of feeling.</p><p>Feng snorts "dunno about you guys..but i wanna get out of here...what’s stopping us leaving now?"</p><p>Beltain, looks relived at seeing Sparhawk returned to his natural body. “Now perhaps we can leave this vision of hell” he states.</p><p>“But where is Maligno” asks Limara “And we need to rescue Walter and Dierdre”</p><p>Feng snorts again. “lets try leaving" He walks down the street, toward some of the thick fog that seems to pervade the town..</p><p> "nope...that wont work...” mutters Limara "You're wasting your time ... i think we will have to wait for the fog to clear..."</p><p>Feng ignores her and walks through the thick fog at the end of the street. He disappears… The half orc continues to walk, the fog clears…To his left he notices the Alchemists shop... Somehow he has been transported to the other side of town…it seems there is no escape! Feng rushes across town, back to the others.</p><p>Limara looks solemnly at the half orc "OH <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />"....
