A few days after the exploration of Durlag's Tower, Hsing finds the group in Beregost. He frantically reports that he was seperated from SEER while exploring the ruins of Ulcaster's school of magic and he cannot locate her.

We set off to find SEER, and on arriving, witness three stone giants killing traveling priests of Lathander that had stopped at the ruins to rest. Moments later, Kalte blacks out. When he comes to, Broca, Flagg, and Dusk tell him that he was possessed by the spirit of Ulcaster himself. Ulcaster asked the group to locate the magic jar where his spirit has been hidden away, then to find where his followers interred his body in the crypts below.

Pushing aside a stone cover, we make our way into the cellars and dungeon of the old school of magic. We discover the expected undead, with Kalte dispatching a half-dozen vampire spawn and a handful of wraiths with little trouble. Dusk, Broca, and Flagg put down as many and a pair of oozes as well. In a space secreted behind a panel in Ulcaster's Lab, we were able to restore the archmage to his body from the jar, effectively resurrecting him.

Following the other tunnel, we discover SEER is enthralled by a vampire named Levanna, which we quickly dispatched by Dusk turning Flagg invisible and the ranger and bard assassinating the vampire's physical form in seconds. A wizard named Max and previously unknown to the group, created the sunlight needed to utterly destroy the nightwalker before she could misty escape.

SEER seems weakened, but not permanently harmed. We took her back to Beregost to recover.

+ 1 potion of Superior Healing. Kalte also exchanges some of his coin to take his payout in the form of a ruby-and-emerald-encrusted ivory statuette of a wizard, worth 1,500gp and a jade statuette of Mystra with seven pearl stars, worth 250gp.

SEER sends us back into the space beneath Ulcaster's ruined arcanum to clear out the pirates and looters sent by Baron Rajiram. They are seeking Ulcaster's personal library and chambers, which he had placed in a secret demiplane.
The combat is less than challenging as the master thieves, swashbucklers, and mages sent by the Baron are easily dispatched, even when sent at us a dozen at a time.
The shield guardians, golems, and spirit naga are equally easy to remove.

You have disadvantage on any social checks with fire giants and they attempt to kill you as quickly as possible in combat, even at the expense of other foes.

Story Award: Stung by Greed. (removed) You were stung by greed, and your soul has been infected by the deadly sin. When you’re in the presence of great wealth (in the form of coins or gems/jewelry worth over 1,000 gp), you are stunned until the end of your first turn, as your mind reels at such great wealth. This can be removed with a remove curse.

Story Award: Friend of Kraddokk. You talked with the storm giant Kraddokk and did not desecrate the shrine of Annam. He tells his friends about your interaction with him. This friendship might bear fruit at a later date.
