Reinald's Perspective (12th-19th Leaffall)

Reinald and Brigitte experience the same vivid dream: a warehouse battle where they fight side by side against possessed workers, glowing-eyed rats, and shrieking bats—though neither has ever met the other.

12th Leaffall - Afternoon: Reinald awakens from a daydream nap while supervising an exam. Student Beaux blackmails him into raising her grade from C to A by threatening to expose his secret activities. Röka, the spirit in his magical tome The LegendKeeper, laughs at the situation and they discuss the strange dream.

12th Leaffall - Evening: Röka convinces Reinald into scattering papers belonging to elderly scholar Ol'Dick using some subtle wind magic, rewarding him with a one-time-use spell. Reinald discovers his aunt Victoria is visiting the academy.

12th Leaffall - Evening: Reinald meets Victoria leaving the headmaster's office. They travel to The Pippin Cidery tavern where they meet Angus, Reinald's partner, who was recently attacked on the road. They discuss Henry's imprisonment and the De Ragnaisse family. Victoria mentions she's heading to Allura's Haven tomorrow to visit Mayor Hartthorne.

12th Leaffall - Night: Reinald and Angus attend a performance at the Amphitheater and spend an intimate evening together.

13th Leaffall - Midday: Victoria informs Reinald he's been assigned to accompany her to Allura's Haven for a mission. Reinald visits the Consortium Workshop, delegates tasks to Fixit and Arjhanite, and announces his leave of absence to Mr. McSwift who threatens defunding.

13th-19th Leaffall - Journey: Multiple day carriage ride from Spellwhisk to Allura's Haven. Victoria trains Reinald in rapier skills and briefs him on the crisis: disappearances, fires, Mayor Hartthorne's situation, "The Good Stuff" drug problem, and Hector Hershkowitz-Weinberg's veto on investigation.

19th Leaffall - Midday: Reinald and Victoria arrive at the De Ragnaisse mansion. Victoria warns him not to mention "Luminary" and explains her 17-year-old incident that left her unable to cast spells but immune to direct magic. They meet Luke De Ragnaisse and Brianna Hershkowitz-Weinberg in the waiting area.

19th Leaffall - Afternoon: In the gardens, they meet Lucien Olivier De Ragnaisse. Reinald recognizes Aveline from his dream. Lucien informs them Mayor Hartthorne has gone missing and Lewys Hershkowitz assumed acting mayor without approval. They discuss TGS drug, Rhazeth's role as intermediary, and the need to investigate. Lucien gives Victoria a letter from the Voidbreakers seeking "Riven Cedarthorne."

19th Leaffall - Afternoon: Victoria requests to see Henry. After a delay, Henry arrives severely beaten. He claims he fell in the forest. When signing release papers, he signs as "Henry De Ragnaisse" not "Ragnarveil." Lucien and Victoria have a tense exchange about the truth of Henry's injuries.

Brigitte's Perspective (19th Leaffall)

19th Leaffall - Early Morning: Brigitte awakens from the unsettling warehouse dream and checks herself for injuries. She encounters Sonya, who checks a minor injury. A family meeting is announced.

19th Leaffall - Morning: Brigitte meditates in the family hall until Gurak joins her. He invites her to meditate on the beach at Ambassador's Pier. During their walk, Brigitte shares her dream involving a red-haired woman and foxfolk. Gurak suggests the woman might be Aveline De Ragnaisse.

19th Leaffall - Morning: They pass a burnt-down house and discover Mayor Hartthorne's office has been broken into via rooftop planks. Using "Pass Without Trace," they investigate inside and find the office ransacked, the mayor's coat left behind, door barricaded from inside, and documents about TGS regulations. They decide to report to Rhazeth immediately.

19th Leaffall - Morning: Gurak takes Brigitte to a fancy clothes shop where Felix the dragonfolk presents a one-year anniversary gift: a self-repairing magical jacket. They return to The Family Hideout for breakfast.

19th Leaffall - Before Noon: Rhazeth calls a family meeting. Gurak reports Mayor Hartthorne's disappearance. Rhazeth assigns Brigitte to investigate and find the mayor alive. A new member named Branded is introduced and receives special treatment, causing resentment. Brigitte takes over Branded's dock duties.

19th Leaffall - Evening: Brigitte works the docks handling cargo and smuggled goods. During meditation, she observes a massive Concordian ship arrive with an agitated deerfolk noble in green clothes. A gold kobold distributes pamphlets for Allura's Bathhouse reopening.
