So before we get thrown into fighting (I thought you said there wasn't going to be any :|a hmm...), there are a couple of things I want to double-check:

+ From what I've read previously, it sounds like Baba Yaga's gifts (the potion and the talismans) cannot come with characters into dreamscapes, even if they hold them in Songerein. Is that still correct?
+ And remind me, can characters' weapons come with them into the dreamscape if they are already period-appropriate like a sword, staff, whip, etc.?
