997: In the evening, the party arrives in Kesh-Nicht. While being guided through the streets by Primus, the Poppet horse collapses and shrinks back to its original size. Primus takes advantage of the confusion to steal a bag of magical components from the cart and run. The party takes rooms for the evening at Mercy's Inn in Nicht. That night, Alain receives a message from Saosta, and Marion transforms back into Mariam.
