After a good night's sleep at an inn, the woman (Odette, we think?) is regaining some human speech, but not much. Bel tries more spells, but none seem to help. We are packing to leave when a shadow enters the room, making its way toward Odette. She is terrified of it. Bel activates the Gem of Brightness' power to cast blinding light, which seems to stun the shadow creature. Ghard and Jessa attack it raining blows down upon it. A second creature rises through the floor and hooks Odette's spine, weakening and injuring her. She screams and flails. Bel Turns Undead and it works, they flee.

Since they were specifically targeting Odette, we decide that we need to start moving to avoid them while giving her time to recover her memory and abilities. We depart, Ghard collects his horse and gear from his home, and we travel west toward the temple district, which will take 2 – 3 days to get there. We camp on holy, consecrated ground, next to a shrine of Beseth. That evening, four undead shadow creatures approach and skirt the edges of the campsite. We armor up and attack. Jessa strikes the killing blow on three, Odette strikes the killing blow on the last one.

The next morning, we notice a shadowy eye high in the sky above us, watching! We pack up camp and start moving (south, to try to throw off the watchful eye, and will switch to our true path of west after we are out from under it).
