Overview

Following the intense battle in room six, the party comes down to find that the Inn seems to have barely noticed anything happened. After a brief conversation with the Lysa, The Axiom Ward arrived and began the containment process for the anomaly in room six. That is when Lysa promptly decided to leave before the building was completely locked down. Warden Maelis Vjorn entered and recognized Seren and the party and conducted an interview herself while the rest of the Ward interviewed the patrons. After some time, Seren tells the party that he has decided to travel to the Cartographer's Guild headquarters in Meridian to consult The Grand Atlas as he feels he has reached the limits of his knowledge. Along with his sketchbook full of notes, Seren gives the party a necklace with a pendant that looks like a shard of glass with small cracks scratched across the surface.

After some questioning, the party headed upstairs to bed.

Notes

After the battle with False Seren and False Orren comes to an end and the party gathers the evidence left behind, they head downstairs to check on Nessa and the patrons of the Bent Nail Inn and found that the patrons of the Inn seem to have not noticed that anything happened at all. The party spots the bard, who approaches them at the bar to start a conversation.

It was at this point that the Axiom Ward arrived and began the same containment procedure we saw at Thornreach Crossing. Outside, Ward members nail the same silver spikes into the ground, completely encircling the Bent Nail Inn and creating a magical field of some kind that engulfed the Inn. Other Ward members, including Warden Maelis Vjorn, entered and began their containment procedures. Some of them went straight upstairs, presumably to investigate the anomaly in room six, while others gathered and interviewed the patrons. It was at this point that Lysa decided to leave.

Maelis interviewed the party about the basics of the anomaly. She asks what happened, what they saw, and a host of other questions. Seren decided that he was out of his depths and made the decision to travel to the city of Meridian, the location of the Cartographer's Guild headquarts, to consult The Great Atlas. As a parting gift, he gives the party his sketchbook full of notes on the anomalies he has documented as well as a necklace whose pendant looked to be a small shard of glass with hairline fractures running across the surface.

He tells them he will be leaving first thing in the morning. After being released, the party was headed upstairs for a long awaited and much needed night of sleep.
