We bushwacked Franzen while he was packing to leave (not as good as getting him asleep, but we weren't sure he'd stay the night) and actually disposed of him without losing any party members - wheee!

Our side's spy turns out to be Lydek, who gave us the mighty rods. He helps us win the Franzen combat. Very strange - what's his role in the whole thing? How the heck is he here, 10,000 years before we first met him. Is he immortal? Is he controlling our dreams?

We left the dream and went hunting for some birds eggs. We got them. On the way, we ended up fighting some more weird creatures. I got bit (and diseased, grump!) by a rat. But in revenge, I did get to CLEAVE for the first time, which was lots of fun. See, Kestrel, you can too cleave with a fist...
