We finally came face to face with the guy who had impersonated Denethor. Denethor punched him in the face, which was very appropriate, especially since the guy had the audacity to say that Denethor stole his face first. Like ... wut?
He turned out to be Sir Renard Thorben, an exiled red wizard of Thay. (Cue Elani getting her claws out.) He made night fall and we almost killed Lord Blackstaff (there was some more shapeshifting shenanigans going on there), but the wizard got away and we had someone tend to Blackstaff's wounds and then visited his pocket dimension mansion, where he's keeping the last remaining member of the Cormyr royal family safe.
