Father Howell struggles to sleep and then gets up early, and goes for a successful run to the docks.
Sylleth awakes feeling very relaxed and refreshed after reading his book in the dome overnight. He heads to the market square to begin notating spell scrolls.
Zelphar awakes in the ocean, after disturbed meditation beneath the water. His night disturbed by visions of a fish-like creature with a gigantic, yellow-greenish body with teeth as long as a human arm. He awakes to see movement ahead and spawns a tentacle to block a creature approaching. He awakes again, there is movement ahead. Caught in this cycle, Zelphar turns and swims for the shore. A golden-green hand slams into Zelphar. He runs, but the creature attacks again, killing him. He awakes again. The cycle continues, until eventually he manages to misty step to the shore. He opens his eyes and he is sitting on the docks, but he is exhausted.

A voice comes from Sylleth, though the man is not speaking. The voice identifies as Sylleth, claiming that everything is going ahead as part of the plan. The voice says that we have come to an arrangement - they are moving towards bringing back Kira in a safe and responsible way.

Father Howell prepares to cast Speak with Dead. He asks -
  • What are your views on bringing someone back to life through necromancy? The response is "do it".
  • Would you be happy to trade another life for your own? "Lives end and lives begin".
  • Do you condone murder? "What is murder anyway".
  • Would you allow Sylleth to kill someone to save your life. Til's voices - save me.
  • Who are you? "You are meddling with death and I welcome the idea. You want this women. You want this Til. Ask it. I am enjoying him. So many souls come my way, they are weak compared to him. I am not a selfish hoarder. I'd make a deal for any soul."
Sylleth, you've got the power - save me. The skull rolls towards Sylleth and he catches it.
The voices answers - "Priests are meddling. Times are changing and I tell everyone of you, things are going to be different now. You wont have to bow and scrape - you can just ask."
