Water and Stone

In the morning(10:59), everyone but Leona get together for breakfast. Alexander tells Kesra that he's heading out to do some shopping, and invites her to go with him. Elden and Atlas decide to join them as well. Alexander picks up a scroll of Feather Fall, and a hand-sized cage for a spell component.

Xytharia contacts Kesra(26:20), saying that she is unable to wake up Leona. They rush back to the keep, and try to figure out what's going on. Xy and Alexander wonder if it's something related to her oracle nature. The ends of her hair have turned golden.

They debate(33:49) whether they should put off their trip to Talira. They decide to at least wait one more night. Elden and Atlas stay to keep watch on Leona while Alexander and Kesra go let Captain Burke know what's going on.

Kesra and Alexander discuss(46:38) how she feels about Pelor having forced her to do good under duress. She wonders at what point she should forgive Pelor, and Alexander encourages her that understanding is more important than forgiveness. He also asks her, hypothetically, what she wants to do after the war is over, and she says she doesn't make plans for the future, because mercenaries don't get old.

Kesra and Alexander arrive(1:04:24) at Burke's beautiful airship, named The Pathfinder. They tell her about Leona, and tell her they will contact her in the morning.

Elden and Atlas watch over Leona(1:13:55). They notice her hair turn a golden yellow, and worry for her well-being. Atlas asks Elden why she is his responsibility, and he tells him about his orders from Aureo. Atlas grabs a couple of books from the library, and shares one with Elden.

The following morning(1:21:18), Leona's hair is completely golden, including her eyebrows. Xytharia brings them an entire chest of potions, and they bundle her up onto the ship. On the third day, on the airship, she wakes up. Elden is standing over the bed when she does, and she immediately pushes him away, casting a spell at him, which misses.

Leona continues to fight(1:40:26) against Atlas and Elden, badly injuring Elden. Atlas manages to get her holy symbol away from her, though, and Elden grabs her hands. She tries to Misty Step away, but Alexander gets there in time to counterspell it, casting another spell to incapacitate her, and they restrain and gag her.

Atlas, Elden, and Alexander discuss(2:02:59) what to do, and Alexander goes to wake up Kesra. Eventually, Leona wakes up, and they question her. She remembers what happened, but says she only felt anger. They cautiously untie her, and Alexander heals her some.

Leona tells them(2:15:46) about her vision, that McGrath is waiting for them, that Kireen is there, and that this all has something to do with Venvyre. Atlas helps bandage her bruises, and Alexander updates the captain.

Kesra sends Atlas and Elden(2:29:43) to get some breakfast. Leona tells her that there was another part to the vision - Kesra and Kireen fighting a horde of undead. Kesra insists that the person Leona saw is not Kireen. Leona then rolls over, and Kesra goes and sits in a closet for a while.

Leona hears from Aureo(2:37:25), telling her about the terrible fighting his troops are going through. She doesn't respond. Atlas and Elden discuss Elden's feelings of helplessness, and his adjustment to the current lifestyle of trying to protect Leona. Atlas tells him to try being the water, instead of trying to be stone.

Elden uses his stone(2:46:18) to contact Val to check in with her. She is clearly injured, and apologizes for the way things ended between the two of them. She tells him that his platoon is goon, and she's stuck under a pillar. Elden tells her that she has to be ok, that she is everything to him.
