Party leaves the waygate and head south towards City of Mormoon. The party passes through the destroyed town, some elements of the town were seen to be still smoldering. The trip is otherwise uneventful.

Party arrives in town.
Party has a couple of letters waiting for them. Winyar receives a letter from the head of his order ordering him to report to the temple. Safiria receives a letter from the Raven and the Crown asking her to stop by since they have unfinished business.
Winyar reports to his temple. He comes back several hours later looking chastened.
The rest of the party meanders down to the pub they had previous found. There they find a large dragonborn playing darts in the corner. Crash and the dragonborn strike up a game of darts, to the chagrin of anyone else who values their lives and limbs. Safiria holds court and plays at manipulating the hopes and dreams of the young suitors who come to call.
Alex slips out of the bar for a couple of hours.
After Alex returns, Safiria, Alex and Varien travel to the unmarked building that houses the Raven and the Crown. Safiria is given a klein bottle to trap the smoke. The representative of the Raven and the Crown has an explanation of how a klein bottle works.
The klein bottle is a mobius strip that has been pulled into the shape of a bottle. It has only one side to it and doesn't truely have an "inside" or an "outside". It should be noted the inside of it is lined in glass and the outside of it is lined in a reflective metal.
Varien, Safiria and Alex all try to follow the description of the bottle. It is evident that the bottle is very unusual. Packing the Klein bottle up, they head back to the pub.
They return just as the darts game between Crash and Rhogar is wrapping up. Alex decides to "test" out Rhogar's perception and agility by picking his pocket. This turns out disasterously when Alex finds Rhogar's fist wrapped around his throat. It takes the party several minutes to calm everyone down and convince Rhogar that Alex is not a tasty meat snack.
The rest of the party turns to Safiria to see what she, Alex and Varien brought back. Before she does so she looks questioningly at Rhogar who is still hanging around with a hopeful air about him. When asked, he says that he had heard all sorts of stories about the party and was hoping that he could join them since it would help establish his name in the world. The party has a quick huddle and agrees to take him on. He is told to meet the party the next day at the house they have been staying at. After he leaves, Safiria shows off the Klein bottle to the rest of the party.
The group heads down to the house for the evening. As the rest of the party unpacks from the journey, Crash heads over the dwarves' caves for several hours. When he returns to the house, it is quite obvious that his armor has been replaced and refitted.

The party loans Rhogar a suit of dwarven chain mail armor that they had not been using. Varien resizes it to fit. The party's opinion is that it will be doing more good on someone's back rather in the bottom of the a knapsack.
After that the party heads north toward the shanty town and then the Shadowhold.
