With the Ghost of Ziliä in Dravindi's body, the party had no choice but to use brute force to kick her out. Once that was done, they focused their attention on the Ghost itself – but found her incorporeal form was difficult to affect.

However, after some time (during which the Ghost briefly possessed Amirah, as well), the party was able to force the Ghost to flee on to the Ethereal Plane, where she simply collapsed and started crying.

They then went back to the temple to inform the High Priest, Germot, what had happened – hoping he could offer some assistance in banishing the Ghost for good. However, he seemed to be a little out of his league and admitted that he knew no spells that would accomplish this goal permanently.

Then, the party returned to the apartment to ask Eldana if she knew what could be done. She offered that she could Plane Shift to the Ethereal Plane and talk to the Ghost. However, since she can only use that spell once per day, she would have to spend a night on the Ethereal Place. Absent a more enduring solution, the party agreed this is a reasonable option.

Back at the Brewer's apartment, Eldana shifted to the Ethereal Plane and began talking to Ziliä. For a brief time, the party could see the two interacting, but then Ziliä screamed in terror and both of them disappeared – presumably having moved (or been pulled) deeper into the Ethereal Plane. With nothing left to do but wait, the party retired for the day – Tuotatm to the apartment and the others to the Gilded Dragon Tavern to drink their cares away.

That evening, a runner boy arrived at the apartment and delivered a message to Tuotatm. It was from Duje and he asked for the group to meet with him the following morning.

Tuotatm pulled a prank on the party and told them that the meeting at the Harras was extremely urgent. Why? Who knows. He's just like that, I guess.

Duje explained that they had learned from the captive Werewolves that the lumber used to build their fortress seemed to have come from an off-the-books logging camp. It is run by a man named Rabrain and is located somewhere near Eaststall. The party recognized the name Rabrin as the man who brought the “Iron” Flask from the Queen in Red to the Werewolves.

Duje suggested they go talk to a woman named Chiennha, who is the foreman of the lumber mill. Since Eaststall is only a few miles away, they headed out right away. On the way, they tried to located wagon tracks that might indicate where a large shipment of lumber might have been taken – but they had no luck.

At the lumber mill, they talked to Chiennha – who told them that she was annoyed with Rabrin because he had fired all his workers some weeks ago and no longer brought any lumber to the mill. She was able to give detailed directions to Rabrin's camp.

At Rabrin's camp, they found a large number of Ogres and Rabrin himself – who addressed Amirah by name and revealed himself to be the Doppelganger who had taken her identity weeks earlier!
