The party traveled to the ruined estate of the Alamander family, former rulers of the Lion's Dynasty, to search for mudwort, a key ingredient for Kira's plan to poison the vampires. The estate, untouched for centuries, was surrounded by a drained moat with strange, magical water. While investigating, the group discovered recent tracks indicating others had visited the site.
Kira performed a ritual to locate the mudwort, finding an unusually large specimen near the well. Both Gavin and Kira experienced strange auditory hallucinations and fragmented memories after touching or drinking the water, which seemed to contain the memories of many people. Hugh determined the effect was not a curse or poison, but the water could implant or alter memories.
Descending into the well, the party found evidence of recent activity and a passage leading to a flooded crypt. Inside, they encountered Scagliano, a shattered stained-glass construct created as a gift from the Zaiden family of Amn to the Lion's Dynasty. Scagliano was the protector of the princess, whose name he could not recall, and had witnessed two men (one silver-haired and pale, the other dark-skinned and armored) searching the crypt days earlier.
The crypt contained caskets and a statue of Scagliano, who revealed that the princess and her servants had poured bottled memories into the well, causing the magical effects in the water and the oversized mudwort. Kira extracted a vial of lavender liquid from within Scagliano, believed to contain the princess's memories. Bikke tasted the liquid, briefly experiencing the princess's memories and emotions.
The party speculated that the princess was likely Ottillie Rhindaun, heir to the Rhinduan family, who had hidden her memories in the crypt as a form of protection or leverage. The memory-altering water and the vial could be powerful tools or bargaining chips in the party's ongoing struggle against the vampires and their political adversaries.
The session ended with the party considering whether to pursue the mysterious men who had recently searched the estate.
