To remind of recent events, the Liaboites are searching for a text called the Dark Requiem. They were led to a group known as the Scribners, and on Friday night they were finally able to meet with one. The Scribner, notable as being dead but also holding Ronanite proclivities, demanded the lid of a destroyed urn in exchange for receiving the text. Clues were uncovered to its location, but the trail became impassable from difficult terrain, halting progress.
The afternoon of July 2, the treasure hunter Khlat met with people at Hearthstone and revealed that he knew of a mountain climber that might help with getting around the obstacles.
Later that night, adventurers met with the mountain climber, who provided giant spiders with huts on their backs to help the climb. Exiting, they broke through a barrier of brambles before moving on. In an outcropping, a shard of what is assumed to be the urn lid was recovered. Jackals and serpents also attacked the group after the shard was located. With nothing else found, the group returned to the Landing.
During the climb, however, there was significant strife among those present. Jesphian attacked Jaired, only to be killed later during the chaos of the skirmish with the jackals and serpents. Shilarra also was noted to be quite waspish along the way.
Not long after the shard was recovered, the gnomish seer (known OOCly as Yuratlya though her name has not been given in game so far as I know) appeared in the park. She had been disturbed by the great distress she sensed from other people that night and ventured out of her bed, despite still suffering from the snake venom she had been poisoned with.
As people arrived, Yuratlya began to address some concerning their weaknesses that may be hindering them. She advised the people to take advantage of the resources they had at their disposal. She noted that the people had a Keeper though they did not use her. When pressed for the identity of this Keeper, she indicated Nilandia, whom she had earlier referred to as a Keeper of Knowledge, and said that she had only recently discovered her need after walking the path for months.
Yuratlya also told those gathered to trust those around them and work together, for they had until then continued to work as individuals rather than as members of a group. She told them to listen to their instincts, and not to be afraid to make a decision of the course to take, for no perfect path lay before them. She then departed with Fjalar, who sensed that she was in danger and acted to protect her.
