Synopsis:

The party stops to camp for the night - the second instance of this happening. Shadowheart seeks to confide in the player about what's been happening to them, in particular the tadpole parasite lodged in their heads and the transformation that is supposed to follow. Curiously, they realise that they both feel fine - contrary to what is thought to occur.
