After attempting to send ZeeZee back for the map in order to find out where they are, it turns out the mountains don't exist anymore. They make their way into town instead, with the intent to hide they magical abilities.
They ask the people about the Castle and the Dragons, but none know what they are talking about, and some ask if they are small tasty things. They sound like it. The party decides to relieve some stress and head to the Drunken Midget Tavern.
The tavern only accepts currency from the Arsenian Empire. Ashe presents coinage that was looted from the Guardian. They get 2 rooms for the night. They find out it will take 2 days to reach Sheynwick which is near the lack, and then another 2 days to get to the other side of the lake where the symbol is that they were looking for.
They find out, they can get an updated map of the area in Sheynwick, with it being a major trade hub. There are also people that speak many different languages. Though the bartender warns about many different races, mentioning a race called the Tristol Aidens, which he described as similar to halflings.
Eressil gets drunk and tries to make the Tavern Owner tall since he is a midget. The spell fails to work as expected, and he shrinks even smaller. After drinking some moonshine in this way, he gets extremely drunk. Eressil tries to make herself smaller with the spell, and succeeds, but it doesn't wear off after a minute.
Most of the party is drunk by now, with the introduction of the next specialty drink which has a heavy lemon or citrus flavor. The owner gets a drink called Angel's Bane specifically for Zen. Eressil shifts into a spider and climbs the walls hanging from the light but then changes back. Rhone is the last one sober and tries to pull Eressil down, but the light comes crashing down with it.
Meanwhile Zen is constantly casting light. A random person comes into the bar and says, "I don't know what's happening but I want some." Ajax starts casting illusions of a second Zen and a second Rhone. Ashe goes to bed but falls over, and Eressil changes into a Tiger to drag her. Rhone stays up trying to fix parts of the bar with the help of a Stranger and the mending spell. Ajax uses prestidigitation to clean up as well.
Rhone ends up convincing the stranger to drink heavily and makes him think there was a man there the night before that Turned into a "Giant Dog", hoping the extravagant tale, will be considered the ravings of a drunken idiot.
