The group traveled westward towards Caim for another day before stopping for the night.
That evening Gift accidentally awoke Eden and Zeb with a light show playing out on the leaves above the camp site. Stars and constellations foreign to the skies above Vault splayed out in the dark, and certain point lit up, one of which Gift called "home."
The next morning, Zeb found recent cart tracks behind the camp site and felt the presence of undead and a fiend nearby.
The group decided to track down the disturbances in case it was more Abishai, as Zeb concluded not doing so may make the biased citizenry of Highcroft believe the two siblings from Vad were complicit in a fiendish dragon-esque entity
The group tracked a broken down prison transport to a location in front of an underground tunnel where they fought several inky blob creatures and a black Abishai
After defeating the creatures, the group found a scroll denoting the transport was carrying a woman by the name of Farrow Foncé. May knew the name saying the woman was once part of a relic hunting team known as Nefaria, who often opposed a group May used to run with
A different member of Nefaria, the Consulate, was capable of making inky creatures like those they'd just fought, making May conclude the Consulate had broken Farrow out of the transport and they could possibly be making their way to get the rest of their gang.
The group decided to set a signal fire to alert authorities to the wagon and tunnel, and then followed into the tunnel
After traveling for several hours, the group emerged into a back alley of Caim, concluding the two members of Nefaria and any number of Abishai were already in the city.
