Slowly Falshen's eyes fade back to their normal hue. He finds himself in control of his limbs once again, though strangely compelled to ENUNCIATE his WORDS with UNECESSARY EMPHASIS.
"Neverember tread the boards in Castle Ward... was it being literal? Figurative? Both? Why would we need to change clothes... in the sewers perhaps?" Gregor paces as he speaks.

Irma narrows his eyes in thought, "I am thinking more along the lines of a crypt, maybe a gathering of a secret society? Changing clothes as part of the society's rules?"
When the party disperses, Gregor will ask around regarding "boards in castle ward".
Please make an Investigation check.
Investigation: 16
Gregor will ask the following, in his role as an information broker: "One of my clients gave me a most peculiar riddle, one which I cannot relate in its entirety due to ah... certain scandalous implications involving named people of some influence. I think I understand most of what they told me, but one of the less salacious lines that I am at liberty to divulge has been confounding me: 'He walked the boards in Castle Ward.' Does anything come to mind when you hear that? "
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Investigation: 25
Falshen will recount as much of the experience as he is able (OOC: I'm not sure how aware he was of what was going on while he was possessed) to his contact and ask what the man makes of it.
If possible, Falshen will recount the line "To hide his hoard, Neverember tread the boards in the Castle Ward, changed his clothes and went below. You who follow in his steps might choose to do the same" and ask of his contact, "Does this convey any particular meaning to you?"
Irma will head to the Paladin Order of the Gauntlet and ask Savra Belabranta if they have clues about the riddle, "To Hide His Hoard, Neverember treads the boards in the Castle Ward, changed his clothes and went below. You who follow in his steps might choose to do the same."

The party's inquiries mostly result in confused smiles and polite questions about the state of their health.
Falshen's contact, on hearing the Stone's words repeated, ponders a few moments and then says,
"Doesn't 'tread the boards' mean acting on the stage? There's a theater in the Castle Ward, the Pink Flumph. Currently showing Meet the Goodberrys and Kiss of the Lamia, I believe. Owner by name of Iokaste Daliano. Maybe try your luck there?"
Ian's virtuoso street performance earns him 45 gp, including a very generous tip from several aristocratic ladies.

Ian, massaging his temples, says,
“Well that was... interesting”
"Neverember tread the boards in Castle Ward... was it being literal? Figurative? Both? Why would we need to change clothes... in the sewers perhaps?" Gregor paces as he speaks.
Irma narrows his eyes in thought, "I am thinking more along the lines of a crypt, maybe a gathering of a secret society? Changing clothes as part of the society's rules?"
“Either way, I think we need to find out with a little reconnoitering.” Ian replies.
Though still too overwhelmed by his experience to speak, Falshen's nods indicate that he is following his companions' discussion.

Ian will busk for the evening once we disperse. He will ask around about “boards in the castle ward” as well.
Please make a Performance and an Investigation check.
Investigation: 16
Falshen, if able, will likewise make inquiries of his contacts regarding the 'conversation' held courtesy of the Stone.
Likewise, an Investigation check.
I will ask everyone making Investigation checks to please give a list of exactly worded questions.
Performance: 25
Investigation: 15
My exactly worded questions:
”I hear tales of those who walk beneath the castle ward, do you know any paths that lead below there?”
”What dangers lurk beneath the boards of the castle ward?”
”Has any suspicious activity been noted around the castle ward?”

Falshen reports his findings when next the party is assembled.
