The next morning the heroes planned to take a tour through the taverns and temples of honeyngton to ask around if anyone had seen Eolan or Tsamara.
In the burned down Praios temple Barukh had a theological conversation with the single remaining blessed one who lives in a tent among the ruins.
Eventually they reached the brothel Seven Tulamidian Nights, though just before midday it was closed. They went around the nearby houses and Savertin struck up a conversation with Yanna.
