Session 11 Mu realizes Brummen was under magical compulsion when he left, and later hears from Sombra that Celeste and Arien are also missing; the party decides, after a few spells failed, to pursue the leads Brummen had been given by his father, following the circles he'd drawn on his map; finding nothing useful in Caliphas, Ustalav, they continued on to Mendev
Session 12 With Mu suddenly leaving shortly after arriving in Mendev, the rest of the party abandons the city to follow Arien to the Bellourhan Mountains in Hyphantonar; upon arrival at a blizzard-encompassed ancient Dwarven fortress, they find Arien's footprints, but little else, and spend the remainder of the day puzzling what they might be missing
Session 12 Thursday Ma'neha awakens with a strong feeling of where to head next nothing further discovered

Session 14 Having questioned Aelius, the party decides what to do with their willing prisoner, before heading to Mu's sanctum to rest and recover. Klein has arrived back in Chanson.
Session 15 The party returns to Chanson to discuss circumstances with Klein, only to be interrupted by Zeledon's appearance via Glocke. There is an unusual aura of abjuration around the manor house in Chanson; an acquaintance of Klein's is suspected of knowing how to get to Zeledon, but has refused to help, citing something about a Mendevian noble under the influence of the Ivory Labyrinth
Session 16 The party joins Lord Klein in traveling to Erhaben to meet and discuss events with Lord Bertram. Mu and Katsu cast some of the most powerful spells they know to try to get to Brummen, only to find themselves blocked with each attempt. They are able, however, to confront the glabrezu they saw fighting Bru, and conclude that Brummen must be somewhere on the Abyssal plane. Upon returning to Chanson, the party discovers Chasse has been taken despite their efforts to prevent it. Brummen is in an area of red mists that cannot be penetrated; Zeledon has means of circumventing spells of protection and flaunts his powers
Session 16 Friday Aysel's communing with Nature is accompanied by another entity. Klein declares early in the morning that he has had a word from Kyrie. nothing further discovered
Session 17 Klein and Andact join together and head toward a location designated by Kyrie. The party attempts to "seek innocence," stopping by to ask Aelius for hints before looking through Coda's room where they found a note with directions on the back of a drawing for Mu. Joined by Milo Bertram, the party left for Roderic's Cove where they gave Saul's niece, Lullaby, the azure pendant they found in Aysel's bag. They then took her note to Kaede in Kenabres, who in turn sent them with a note to Natasha Galdana at Willowmourn in Kavapesta, Ustalav. Mu found a note in his own handwriting, stating where to go as well as who to give an item to that was discovered in Aysel's bag. Lullaby and the bandits seemed to expect the party, as did Natasha. On the way to the bandit camp, Aysel caught a glimpse of Brummen, an event that Mu determined actually happened.
Session 18 The Kin'Hyphantonar report more Dehnens disappearing before rejoining with the party at Willowmourn. Natasha gets the party to the Wizard's Tower, where they enter and agree to play Zeledon's game. They are able to protect and somewhat free a group of citizens from Chanson and Erhaben. Natasha had most of Brummen's weapons stored at Willowmourn, though she commented on his refusal, despite compulsion, to hand over his fire sword. She forewarned the party that once at the Tower, they'd be unable to leave until they found the exit. Inside, Mu found a strong Abjuration magic interfering with his Arcane Sight, as well as something else about the Tower that blocked his ability to gain clear answers via Commune about anyone inside.
