The crew decides to gather some evidence before leaving. A sample of the medicine inside the storage is taken for further analysis.
That guard is still sleeping while being treated for burn wounds.
Perhaps they could’ve helped, but taking unnecessary risks aren’t worth it. The crew fades away from the mill.
By the time they end up on their lodging, it is in the early morning. Those birds won’t shut ever up…
The crew can’t be bothered to change clothing or care about blankets. All four of them plop on the single large bed and sleep.

The next few days are spent investigating temples while a portion of the samples are sent back to Clawflash for testing.
In Sablestream, temples are more than a place of worship. Traditionally, it is also an orphanage and school for the impoverished — their role in society begets respect, but some abuse such privileges. Sexual abuses. Violence. Swindling. Such crimes are occasionally discovered.
Out of all the temples she donated to, there are two that could allow Boon to get children into her mill.
Ratana (ra - ta - na) temple and Misen (Mi - sen) temple.
Ratana is the older and larger of the two, and they mainly focus on education. While they mostly succeed at making the minors literate, the crew found a few reports of violence towards minors who lives in the temple, but legal action were scarcely taken as the minors displayed dangerous behavior. In one case, a minor threw a tantrum and started smashing objects because people didn’t give alms in the 'correct' order according to him. People did not intervene when he was beaten by sticks for his inappropriate conduct. Not even when his back was bleeding and when he was crying.
Misen is smaller and mainly focus on selling services or products. They were established only a few decades ago by Dawnfall immigrants who fled the country due to civil wars. While other temples would gain money through donations, fortune telling or selling food for animals, they prefer more labor intensive methods, such as growing herbs and fruits, teaching boxing and stickfighting. Although some criticize the monks for being too maritally inclined and financially focused, their presence has kept people from being attacked by stray dogs nearby the area.
