## Events

* The party goes through Sobek's belongings and takes what they can. They then have a ceremony to bury Sobek at sea, sending him out on a rowboat that Lusine lights ablaze.
* The party arrives in Dockton as the ship stops off briefly. Lusine, Saber, and Tholgar find an inn. The lady at the desk charges Lusine a premium, then whispers that Saber would be likely to break things. After the lady is rude to him and Tholgar, the two leave Lusine alone there.
* While Saber and Tholgar pass through town, they catch a rumor that the alcohol is watered down - but not with water. Everyone in town seems too happy.
* At night, Saber and Tholgar go out to investigate the town.
* Tholgar finds that the village's adventurer's guild is closed, nearly abandoned. A notice reads that any matters worth questing over are to be handled by the village itself.
* Saber heads to the tavern, where Lusine is singing. He sits in back, and eventually a barmaid approaches him. She mentions that the ale may taste strange, which prompts another barmaid to come up. She explains that the ale is fine, and that there is *nothing* wrong with the water. She then corrects herself to say that nothing is wrong with the ale.
* Just then, Tholgar comes in. Saber beckons him over as the barmaids leave them alone. The two catch each other up, then wait for Lusine to finish singing before catching her up too.
* Lusine calls over the matron, the woman who was at the front desk earlier. Lusine manages to charm her, and strikes up a conversation where she learns her name is Mathilda, and that her husband is out with the village elder. Lusine asks her to tell them to meet with the party when they get back.
* Soon after, a short gnome enters the tavern with an android in tow. She orders some food, then notices the party and hurries over to interview Tholgar. After asking some questions and scribbling some answers that don't quite satisfy her, she messily draws some of his blood.
* Claudia asks the party how they met. After Lusine gives a brief explanation, Mathilda states that her husband has returned. The party talks to him, and they learn that the secret ingredient in the ale is mango.
* As the party leaves, they encounter the village elder in the alley. He and Lusine exchange some hostile words, and he turns to leave. Saber speaks after him, saying "As long as your way works."
* The village elder turns back and berates Saber in necril. After he leaves, Lusine expresses frustration with Saber before declaring that she doesn't like him. Saber expresses that the feelings are mutual, and that the elder warrants investigation. Lusine warns him not to make trouble and goes back to the inn.
* Claudia takes Tholgar to her room. Saber follows, and she uses alchemy to analyze the ale. She finds nothing unusual except for the mango, of which she and Tholgar drink a sample. Saber and Tholgar make it back to the ship after excusing themselves, walking through a light rain in the earliest reaches of the morning.
* The next day, Lusine and Saber get into another argument. Saber accuses her of not understanding other people, then expresses that he doesn't care about the fate of the town and allows Lusine to coordinate whatever plan she sees fit.
* Lusine heads out to investigate, and eventually learns that the elder is a vampire who is keeping a sacrificial child captive to drink their blood. While the villagers are all contented with the support the elder provides and the child remains relatively unharmed upon their eventual release, some members of the party are discontented with him regardless.
* Lusine goes through inner turmoil as she explains this to the party. She says that she intends to negotiate with the elder for information, and explains a bit about her past in Lon.
