We visit the mayor and he asks us to check out Fort Rannick in Turtleback Ferry, and in exchange for information he promises us gold. He gives us 1000 gp in advance and directs us to check in with mercenaries that were sent ahead, the Black Arrows. They were supposed to check in 2 days ago and haven't yet. We realize that this is where Xinesha's sibling may be located based on the note we retrieved from her body. Next we go to brunch and decide how to spend our time until Nethys evocation day. We pick up healing potions from Trisk Tanner (Nisk's cousin) and Linzi buys rhinestones from a gnome at a thrift shop. Dionaea plants a magic bean in the central park and it sprouts a huge bean stalk. We go to the Ancient Elf and Dionaea and Shump Shump each buy a diamond piece and a diamond ankle bracelet from a snobby old elf jeweler with a mohawk. Laudius checks in with the Nethys follower bookshop owner and she plans to come to Sandpoint to see his evocation fire show. We climb the beanstalk, above the level of the clouds is a stone room with a giant rocking chair. We meet a cloud giant, Durham, of the clan Aramir. The rest of his clan left him when we let in small people and they started attacking. The leader of his clan is Ooclos who has a long white beard, bushy eyebrows and wears a big crown. He offers us tea and giant ale, which is a bit stale. After chatting for a bit, he decides to come with us since there's nothing really going on for up in the sky. The townspeople start to scream as we descend the beanstalk so Linzi makes Durham invisible (he does not want to be reduced in size). As we leave the city, Durham eats a messenger crow out of the sky, and a blue dragon flies overhead towards Magnimar.
