We're still in Ponterford, killing time before the witches' sermon — and the priestess sells us two wildly different Rhiannons: the Night Witch is a battle-heroine on horseback and a child-stealer who boils kids to eat their unlived years. Take your pick; witches are "just people." Meanwhile every commoner and guard is quietly asking why Laewendas even sits the throne, and Magra notices something colder: there isn't a single child left in this town.

Up the hill, the "abandoned" tower is actually Renforth's spotless, scrupulously legal magic shop — run by an owl who's never had a bad day. We blow ~2,000 gold on rings, pants and boots (we're officially immune to rats now), Silithane trades for the spell to conjure a tower, and Renforth drops the chilling line: the children aren't missing — they were "returned in slightly less good condition." Then Jex accidentally asks him on a date.

We exterminate Doug Dillinger's vengeful walking tomatoes, then head to the lumber-mill docks — frog-folk, human bones, and something in the water.

SUMMARY: Recap of Session 33 — the Night Witch sermon, Renforth's honest tower and his chilling "returned in slightly less good condition," the AC shopping spree, the tomato uprising, and the cliffhanger at the frog-folk docks.
