Back in Ahtet's Tomb, more wandering around, this time Cassian went to some alternate time line where ranks of terracotta soldiers waited in the massive chamber. It's clearly extradimensional and tied to the Sirlios stuff that our other pirate party had mostly interacted with. We couldn't really dope anything out so we planned to return with one of our Sirlios touched members to see if they could spark something off.
En route back to the house we ran across a little village of gnomes. Of course, they were all named David. They were kind and hospitable and we spent the night, but our watchman noted the gnomes got up and did some crazy ritual death spiral thing around a big obelisk in the woods. Poof, they disappeared, and the day reset. All the food we'd eaten, interactions we'd had, etc with the gnomes were as if they never happened and the gnomes just reappeared back in their village. We'd seen things like this as players before but little of it as these characters.
A human mage was incognito in the gnome village, the only one not named David. Steve shared a lot of theories about the obelisk, the gnomes, and the weird time dimension stuff. He also shared that the moon pools we keep running across were fixed portals between the two timelines. It was all very interesting but we lacked any mages or anything to really engage with it in character. He remained at the village studying the phenomenon and agreed to exchange more info and magic items in exchange for supplies and guards. Off we went back to Lijiang Tower where Cassian bought a Potion of Tongues to hench up an incredibly friendly griffon and we could interact with the Class 1 market to help out Steve.
