Finally found Gray and Claudia, so now I think I have a party that I’m gonna keep. I also did a quest in Melvir in which a woman was terrorized by a butterfly at night. I kinda had to go into maze wood twice because the first time I only picked up the pendant - turns out I also had to pick up the plants there to let her know where I’d found it. It’s not like I could tell her where I found it or anything
