After spending a bit of time at the Seela village, and learning about not only the Song of Forms, but the rift among the Seela people between maintaining and stopping said song. Papuvin offered his quiet assistance in anything the party hopes to accomplish, while Vuhl pleaded with them to help his plan to stop the singing entirely. They were shocked, though, when Crystin collapsed, harrying Haddin for his apparent outward lack of concern for his daughter's well-being. Leaving her in the Seela's care, they returned upstream, feeling that there was a lot of information they were lacking.
Returning to the bridge watchtower, they slept through the night, then spent the day exploring the old city. A pair of ghasts were handily dealt with at the Shrine to Anyariel, and a passage to a secret underground basement was located quite by surprise. Decending, they found the bodies of two men, one seemingly alive, along with the mace of Bhurisrava.

Despite its demands for payment in exchange for her safe return, they pressed the attack, especially after Torrent finally proved useful, creating a micro-rainstorm to briefly suppress the forest's burning. Rescuing their druid, they decided to press on, finding the waterfall at the north end of the forest, where a strange, quadripedal creature emerged from the mists, and began to approach...
