The party heads to the Speakeasy. Kali sits at a bench waiting for her date while Diz and Burr head straight to the bar to drink. Diz gets flirtatiously drunk and starts hitting on Burr. When Kali’s date, Aubrey, arrives he greets her and lets her know that he has found a couple other items that he believes the others would love and he would like to gift them to them.
He gives Diz a Helm of Comprehend Languages and Burr a Robe of Many Items. He then grabs two house ales and sits down to speak with Kali. They discuss a little about the town and where they are from. Kali discovers that the people in the town don’t have a great loyalty to Lathander but that a few generations ago the Church of Lathander bought their way into the town as the sole religion. He points out a few of the townspeople in the speakeasy and Kali gets interested in a little old woman he states is Cecilia the seer.
She excuses herself for a moment and goes to speak with her. It turns out that her form of divination is through Tarot Card readings. Kali questions her about where a young diviner who sees and shares visions might go to help learn her craft. She suggests Waterdeep as it is a rather large city with a few magical academies. Kali thanks her and goes back to Aubrey.
He attempts to get Kali to dance with him calling out to the bard for dance music. Kali declines but Diz grabs Burr and spins around the dance floor with a drunken freedom. Kali downs a couple more beers and asks Aubrey for something stronger as they seem to be having no effect. He brings her back a shot of dragon whiskey as she starts shedding her clothes. Aubrey heads off quickly, as this is not what he signed up for, and Boreas flies over covering her with his wings.
She stumbles out of the Speakeasy to head back to the Inn. After picking up all her clothes, Burr and Diz decide to play a few rounds of cards before following behind. Kali rather loudly stumbles past the Shrine of Lethander causing Merrygold to come out and question what on earth has happened. He heads the way she came from to see if he can find the source of the chaos. He sees Diz and Burr and questions them to. He strips Diz of the title of Awakened and asks for her pin back. Diz flirtatiously says to take it from her and seductively starts walking toward him. He flees mumbling about how having multiple religions in the town is already leading them to moral ruin.
They all make it back to the Inn and in the morning Diz wakes with a horrible hangover. The bar maiden behind the counter offers him a hangover cure for a few gold and she gladly accepts. They ask her if she has any idea of where the White Dragon may have gone. She says that it went North but that they might have better luck if they ask the Council of Dragonriders in Phandalin. They all roll their eyes and decide to head back to the Tower of Storms up North to see if they have set eyes on any path the dragon may be taking.
