Star and Scale talked about May's relationship with her family, specifically her perfect older sister who is in line to take over the prison when her parents pass.
The group rented some horses and set out from Caim, following the Royal Road north but keeping an eye out for a more secretive prisoner transport path the cart they'd found a couple weeks ago had been taking
They eventually found the path but decided to keep an eye on it due to the Royal Road being quicker. If Nefaria were arriving at Hemlock Bastille via the prison transport road, Star and Scale could beat them there by traveling the Royal Road.
The group came upon a pair of travelers who they soon learned were named Ezekiel and Middalah Devir
After a long discussion, they discovered Ezekiel had been sent back from the nine hells, with a Nightmare for a mount, to take revenge on a small village south of their location
Ezekiel had been a priest of Deorus but had been killed by the townspeople as they took the act of sacrificing too far
The group convinced Ezekiel to use his considerable power to help them set a trap for Nefaria at Hemlock Bastille, and while that meant losing the help of Middalah, who was fine helping with the slaughter in exchange for the Nightmare, Ezekiel felt a desire to do some good before taking his revenge
The group arrived in Lantern Light with Ezekiel in tow.
