	~~Session summary~~		The party completed their exploration of the now-empty kobold lair on the Howling Island. They discovered the tribe's history etched on a boulder, including a prophetic dream and their transport to the Elemental Plane of Air. The chief's quarters yielded gold and half a crown, while lower levels revealed disabled traps and various loot.

			Returning to the Palace of the Wind, Ember reunited with Prince Zekir. As thanks, Zekir enchanted a flying carpet for the party and asked them to listen to the wind for invitation to his coronation in two years. They then traveled back to Sigil via a whirling vortex, arriving at the Civic Festhall where they finally acquired the Grand Sensory Stone from Niara.

			In Sigil, party members sought faction membership: Cedani and Diedric joined the Society of Sensation, Uchu the Transcendent Order, and Octavius the Fraternity of Order. Glenn aligned with The Fated without formally joining. The group also visited the Great Bazaar for shopping.

			Attempting to check on Barnaby at the Velvet Harness, they learned he had left with a living suit of armor on a quest to The Gray Waste. Cedani was approached by Mira from the Alley Reapers gang, who gave her a cut of their earnings and warned of a gith searching for her -- who they had misled into Carceri.

			Ready to return to Faerûn, the party used their astral cords to draw themselves back to their bodies, with Uchu and Unit 137 placed in the Bag of Holding for the journey. As they departed, each burst into clouds of desert sand, their silvery cords fading from view.

			The session concluded with an epilogue featuring Grax, a Blue Slaad detective, investigating the ruins of Cedani's nana's shop, hinting at deeper mysteries yet to unfold.
