After a short bought of combat with an army of giant squid, a death squid, and a magma kracken, the party woke up to realize they were dreaming. They left the Crossroads through the north door, finding themselves... in the North. Shade reported their location, and directed them toward Riptide. The party found Riptide snowboarding, but no sign of Loras. The party contacted Karn, who revealed that Loras had agreed to become part of an artifact Karn now carried--a sword.
