I'll be doing an XP and treasure thread soon. But let's get the downtime thread rolling: The party has come through another shimmering priaduct from Adrianna's quarters into Zalvorex's moving manse. After finding out about the Sapphire he was investigating, the party informed Zalvorex that they had a prisoner from Phantamoria.
