Previous Episode: Syzygy 012 - The Orphan Farm

Nike, spooked by the statues, leaves Guin alone to explore the Krelmart. Guin starts out cautiously, but then just begins looting the store. Nike and Kodak attempt to leave town, but find themselves stopped by an invisible barrier. Kodak spots a mysterious hooded figure outside the barrier, and hypothesizes that this figure caused the barrier to exist. The two go back to pick up Guin. The three meet back up at Krelmart, and Guin shares some Goodberries she's stolen. In the clothing section, Guin disovers Bowie, a small warforged orc, hiding in a stall. He says he was separated from his father by a monster. The party decides to try and help him find his dad at the bank the two were headed to. The party arrives at the bank, finding the occupants petrified. They decide to rob the bank, as no one is around to stop them. Nike and Guin start stealing money, while Kodak helps Bowie look for his dad. Nike and Guin are both hit by some sort of strange beam, presumably the security system, but nothing seems to happen. Not finding Bowie's dad, they head out to search the nearby area. The three find the Basilisk climbing down the side of a building and commence fighting it. Guin restrains the creature with a ginat stone hand and Nike uses the Rogue Bow's abilities to explode it to bits, however, there is collateral damage. In hte explosion, several of the petrified figures in the street are destroyed, making them unrecoverable, including, as it is revealed, Bowie's Father. The party decides to bring Bowie back to The Orphan Farm. On the way, Guin reveals to Bowie that she 'might have' crushed her own father figure to death. At The Orphan Farm, Nike accepts a Stone of Farspeech from Merrick, and they leave Bowie with him. They begin settling to camp in the yard, but Guin spots her reflection in a window, and discovers that it is terrifyingly distorted. After tests and much discussion the party determines that the cause of the distortion is the beam she was hit by at Marnmouth Bank.
