==A Shiny White Fortress==
* The group gives [[Fort Torrents]] a pass, instead opting to cross downstream (with magical assistance).
* They continue avoiding the main roads, and beeline toward Estrabule.
* Travel passes mostly without incident, until they reach the edge of the forest.
* There, there are haphazard skulls and rotting heads placed on stakes, in various stages of decay.
* The group spends a bit of time examining, but ultimately decides to try to go around. That's when the fireball appears.
** The explosion knocks three of the five out cold. Anto immediately beelines towards the source--[https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/flameskull two skulls that have become wreathed in flames and started floating]--to harass. His sword is resisted, but his ''booming blade'' is not, and the skull he harries gets a nasty surprise finding out how that spell works. That one ''blurs'' itself while the other summons a ''flaming sphere''. Anto pursues, judging them to prefer ranged attacks.
** Elian miraculously recovers, uses his dire wolf form to absorb damage while shoving potions into his teammates' throats.
** Joana learns that she resists fire, then throws ''chaos bolts'', missing with one of them. Madrin gets up and contributes an ''eldritch blast'', and Bern manages a couple of very tricky shots with the shortbow.
** After a very worrying first round, the skulls have mostly blown their load, and the party is able to finish them off.
** They don't tarry, figuring that whoever set the trap might come to investigate.
* The rest of the journey passes without incident, and they approach the [[White Keep]], a gleaming, impenetrable fortress overseeing farmlands.
* They spend a night in the village at its foot, exchanging gossip with the locals. Everyone takes advantage of the facilities to look a little less fire-singed.
* Rested up, they continue to Estrabule around midday the next day.
** Along the way, a wagon has busted a wheel. They stop to help, and the caravan gives them 100gp for the trouble. The delay puts them at Estrabule late that evening, where they find accommodations and get the lay of the land.

==Estrabule==
* The party keeps a low profile, renting some out-of-the way quarters and collecting gossip.
* The [[Neo-Alexandrians]] seem much more established here, and have incorporated themselves into the community.
** Madrin has a talk with the local Western Alexandrian temple, whose pastor is a very grumpy man.
*** He's been losing followers to Neo-Alexandrianism. The temple is in obvious disrepair, and he's very unsubtle about requests for donations.
*** Mentions that they did a lot of homeless outreach and now there's basically no homeless problem.
*** Doesn't seem to have any suspicions that they're creepy or in any way not above-board.
** Whip stakes out the Neo-Alexandrian temple.
*** There's a wedding today. It appears absolutely normal in every respect.
*** Whip watches for a while, then tails some Neo-Alexandrians. They live in town, and go to a perfectly normal house while being perfectly normal.
** Elian does some intensive gardening, Joana and Bern take in the lay of the land.
* They regroup and decide on some strategy for the coming days:
** Feel around in seedier areas (like the docks) for rumors that might not reach a bougie Alexandrian pastor's ears.
** Get some intel on [[Nia-Agliare]].
** Check out that sweet, sweet library (Madrin, mostly).
