It's now early afternoon and Luna has an appointment to keep with Pip once he responds. Until then, we decide to use the detectors to search Dade's Market, the center of town.

Icarus analyses the detectors and determines their short range isn't due to the detector, but the sheer amount of Ley Energy interference from both major leylines and the entire city of magical leyline household devices. If we were out in the wilds for example, we could detect the ley crystal miles away. While discussing our options Luna finds an origami message squirrel from Pip, wanting to speak in the Gearmarket. We all decide to go, rather than splitting up since Pip is likely our best source of information. We meet Pip under an orange tent, tells the barkeep to take a break as Pip pours each of us a glass of tea. We let Pip know that while we found 4 of the 5 Ley Crystals, we were too late in stopping them from weaponizing one of them into a powerful bomb. He lets us know the electors will meet in the Hall of Wisdom in the Acropolis Precinct. Pip discusses the possibility of giving us, non Torestans, access to the Acropolis.

The day winds down and we head to the Bow's End tavern at the academy. We catch up with David Czerny and Jeremy Dash, two other apprentices.

Mickey starts crafting 2 Bags of Holding (will take 20 hours total) and Luna creates a lil Spell Scroll of Cure Wounds which she gives to Icarus.

The next day, Arkin Minexes, a dance bard instructor, approached and let us know of a similar Ley incident with the goblins in the North with the Icarema Leyline.

He also let us know that the ley anomaly somehow affected the pocket dimension of the halfling wagon. The timing of this coincided with the timing of the Danilov Leyline anomaly Luna and Koda experienced. We'll have to ask more about how it affected the pocket dimension.
