Nice

The group wakes up(5:45) in the morning, getting ready for the dinner party. Leona decides to go do some singing to earn some money. Rey asks her why she’s trying to earn money when she could just ask him. She says she wants to earn money for a gift for Kesra. She goes to a place called Nariah’s and sings several songs, having a little mini dance party with several children and charming the adults.

Meanwhile, Alexander goes and finds Kesra(16:50). He asks her what their relationship is, especially given that Kesra just learned that her fianceè is still alive. She says that she doesn’t think her ex wants anything to do with her any more, and he asks if Kesra still loves her. Kesra says she doesn’t know if she loves her or the memory of her, and she doesn’t know what she and Alexander are, but she doesn’t see any reason for it to change, unless he surprises her with another family dinner.

Atlas goes and finds Sura(28:36) to coordinate outfits. Elden spends a good chunk of time writing a letter in his room. Leona goes and sells her rapier for 23 gold, and her fancy perfume for 4. Rey meets her and helps her make up the difference to purchase a necklace for Kesra with a whittled dragon, and has it enchanted with an Armor of Agathys spell. She and Rey discuss Kesra and the upcoming dinner party. Elden has the letter he’s been writing enchanted so that only one person can read it.

They all arrive for the dinner party(39:44), looking quite dapper and lovely. Kesra quickly produces the bottles of liqueur, and Leona explains the circumstances under which they left Amelia behind. As they begin to have some drinks, a strange feeling comes over all of them, as they each suddenly become enchanted with someone else in the room: Amelia and Kesra with Rey, Leona with Alexander, Alexander with Sura, Atlas with Elden, and Elden with Leona.

Meanwhile, Amelia challenges Kesra(57:25) to a rematch of their arm-wrestling contest, which Amelia wins. In the chaos of everyone flirting with one another, Captain Burke offers to take the party to I’olynne. Several party members begin to figure out that something unusual is happening, and Atlas focuses his ki to end the effect.

Eventually, Xytharia enters(1:18:58) the dining hall. Kesra and Rey are still competitively doing push-ups. Everyone is still continuing to flirt, including Atlas, until the Philter of Love finally wears off. As they all come to terms with what happened, Kesra declares that the arm-wrestling match doesn’t count, and Leona offers to match her once again.

The group discusses with Amelia their plans(1:36:20), and she consents to help them in exchange for a small amount of gold for supplies. Alexander also presents the captain with a very nice cloak. Sura tells them that she cannot accompany them to Iollen at this time. Xytharia returns, remembering that she needed to tell them some information from the Raven Queen. She starts to tell them about the location of the Sword of Kas, but they stop her, telling her that they know already. She tells them that another group is heading to fight the ancient green dragon with the sword, whose name is Daventarth, and asks if Fate’s Chosen wants to come along.

Kesra says that it seems ridiculous(1:52:11) that the Kendell she met is going to fight a dragon. Sura tells them that he has been chosen as the champion of the Raven Queen. The group discusses the hand of the gods in their lives. Leona hears back from Salix that they are in Grassgrave and would welcome the help. Xytharia and Sura say that they are going whether Fate’s Chosen are or not.

Kesra complains again(2:04:50) about the meddling of the gods, and Xytharia gives her an earful, telling her that none of them would exist without the gods, then storms off, with Atlas following. The group decides to do their best to convince the other group to wait for them, and, in the meantime, decide to retire for the evening.

Meanwhile, Xytharia and Atlas have a conversation(2:17:45). Xytharia tells him that she just got back from Azmarin, where she defended Alexander’s honor to his family. She is quite frustrated with Kesra’s attitude towards the gods, and Atlas tells her he believes the group will do the right thing. She reveals that she used to work for the Divine Covenant, checking on Kesra as a child.

Aureo and Leona reflect(2:26:15) on the evening’s events, and Leona messages Salix, asking her to stay in Grassgrave until they can get there. Leona says that she wishes Kesra’s relationship with Pelor was more like her own with Sarenrae.

Kesra and Alexander(2:39:40) continue to discuss the gods, with Alexander speaking about Ioun. He feels bad about how the conversation went, and he decides he will apologize to her later.

After Aureo is asleep(2:43:37), Leona prays to Sarenrae for protection and assistance for her friends. She invites a vision, and sees the slumbering dragon, but then suddenly sees herself locked in a room back in Wolfecrest, where she sees a drawer labelled Daventarth. In the drawer, she sees a dragon egg. She sees a flashback of Daventarth fighting several knights, and sees him get a terrible, festering hidden wound.
