Retcon
Destiny's Children received 1,000 GP each from Craig Listerman.

The Once Proud Goose
Enoch sat by the fire, reading an obscure religious text. Maya goes to sit by him. Izzy talked to Blayne Davies, who taught her some card tricks for 100 GP. Izzy gained proficiency with cards. Mario challenged Kamahl to an arm wrestling competiton, and Kahmal raged in order to win, and said, "You've got some muscles under those feathers." Kamahl is a fairly popular, highly ranked pit fighter in town.

Enoch bought 5 bottles of Mind Flay (grain alcohol) for 10 GP. Enoch then sat alone, hurting Maya's feelings.

Izzy showed Enoch a card trick, to which Enoch replied, "That was a wonderful card trick."

That night, Twinkletoes broke into Maya's room and left a note that said, "Went on business. Took Damacus with me. -(pawprint)". Maya did not see Twinkletoes, and woke up the rest of the party to check out their rooms.Everyone then went to sleep in Maya's room. Mario made a nest with blankets and wedged his shortsword into the door to prevent it from opening. Izzy and Maya poured wax on the door to check for a broken seal.

The Market
Mario bought 9 black silk scarves with the Destiny's Children insignia on them, and a matching armband for Maya. Mario wears his scarf like a belt. Mario, Izzy, Enoch, and Maya then bought various supplies.

Stray Sheep Inn
The cost per person at this in was 10 GP. There were three active jobs on the notice board, with 60% of the completed jobs having been marked off by someone named "The Ox", a powerful human who wore black armor and carried a blue sword. Maya read the available jobs to Mario so they would have a record. The four stepped outside to discuss the listings without being overheard. 20,000GP
 * 1) "Red Shoes" - Wanted poster with no picture. "Highway Robbery, Murder, Extremely Dangerous. 2,000GP"
 * 2) "Danger! Confirmed orc sighting throughout Northern region. Venture at your own risk. DO NOT ENGAGE"
 * 3) "WANTED. Assault of a public official. Conspiracy to commit murder. Burglary."

They stepped back inside and inquired about the free drinks. Marcus Antorus, a member of the Fraternal Benefactors, paid for all of the drinks and food for the night in order to lift spirits. He mentioned that the recent earthquake is part of the reason for the event, and that it caused the refugees to flee and create the shantytown.

Spice trade agreements between the elf, Terza Giltleaf, and the human, Matthias Creel, went in Giltleaf's favor.

Izzy runs into Blane Davies again, and his alchemist kender friend, Toki Flintwhistle.

Izzy: "You have any potions for sell?"

Toki: "HELL YEAH!"

Izzy bought a potion of wild magic that has three charges.

Mario tried to tell Danyan "Dan" the story of the overflowing goblet of infinite money, but due to his inability to speak words, did not leave a lasting impression. Mario, dejected and embarrassed, avoided Dan for the rest of the night.

Enoch spoke with Matthias Creel.

Matthais: "What would I want more than money?"

Enoch: "Would you like some tea?"

Matthias: "We're importers and exporters at Blackwater & Creel. I'm sure you've heard of us.

Enoch: "Oh, yes. I'm sorry, that's a lie. I haven't."

The group interacted with a similarly composed adventuring group. Mario impressed them with the branding of Destiny's Children.

Maya and Izzy spoke with everyone in the tavern about the listed jobs.

Izzy placed a card in Giltleaf's sandwhich as part of a card trick.

Izzy: "I promise not to put anything else in your food."

Giltleaf: "Be sure to put a lot of spice in yours!"

Izzy and Maya spoke with Dan, who told them about his new story. Dan used to be in a band, but is now a solo act.

Dan: "All adventures come to an end, but life goes on, and that's kind of hopeful!"

James "Jimmy" Dean, the cook at The Once Proud Goose, told Maya to speak with Lil' Saint at TOPG for leads on the jobs.

Maya: "Everyone in the town, good or bad, is going to be lookin' for that fucker."

Enoch and Mario bunked up, and Maya and Izzy bunked up.

In the morning, Emilio Dayne in Plainwind had a job posted to cure a strange disease spreading through the town. Izzy checked the map, and found that Plainwind was 1 day west of Maribia.

The rival adventuring party came up with the name "Diamond Dogs" for their group.

Library
Mario read a biography of Noah Dyne, which detailed a war between trolls and orcs where the trolls were nearly made extinct.

Enoch did something weird with some books maybe.

No one else cared to partake in literature.

Shantytown
Destiny's Children wasted a whole day talking to people who didn't know anything.

The Once Proud Goose (Again)
Lywyln "Lil' Saint" Santos agreed to a 90%-10% split of a reward for a job listing for sharing information with Destiny's Children.

Tavern
Destiny's Children arrived in Plainwind, and headed directly for the tavern. They found Biggs and Wedge Arclighter, the two boys who travelled with Rue. Mario greeted them by mimicing Rue, "Alright boys, time to show me what you've learned!" They all discuss the shut down mine and the Burning Plague, which originated in the mines.

Izzy practiced kung fu moves with Ryoko's three trained monkeys, Bubbles, George, and Koko.

Outside of the tavern, Izzy, Enoch, and Mario bought mind-altering potions.Enoch bought "Refrain" (purple swirling sand), Mario bought "Hero Juice" (blue liquid), and Izzy bought "Arcana" (red rock candy).

Emilio Dayne's Residence
Destiny's Children visited Emilio Dayne, the mayor's brother. Emilio owned the mines and just joined Fraternal Benefactors.

Blacksmith
Destiny's Children visited the workshop of Brian and Emma Roberts. They were caring for their nephew, Lil' Carter Roberts, who suffers from "fantasy polio". Enoch examined some extracted silver, under the assumption that the newly mined material may be causing the illness. Destiny's Children acquire mining hats that glow in the mine.

Mines
Destiny's Children fought two dire badgers, two bullets, a gelatinous cube, an orc shaman, and an earth elemental. Enoch, Maya, and Izzy tried to talk to the shaman, and Izzy tackled Mario to stop him from attacking.

The Orc Shaman, Salok, told them that Jewlsa ("Troll Hitler"), the general of the troll army during Noah Dyne's time, was in the forest to the north, and had been rallying the remaining trolls and some orcs. The forces were not large, but were very powerful. Salok also told them of his vision: "Vast cavern, cold, empty. Felt very alone, disquieted. There was nothing. Some entity was absent. The earth shook when this place was left vacant." The earthquake was caused by the absence of this entity.

Salok confessed to poisoning the mine, which seeped into the water and poisoned the village's wells. He was fleeing from the troll army and stopped in this mine to recover. He cast a spell to make the miners flee while he rested. The water was an unintended consequence.

Destiny's Children get Salok to write "Jewlsa Returns" in orc. Mario then carved Destiny's Children's insignia on the wall on their way out.

Plainwind (Again)
Mario handed Emilio a slip of parchment. The top read "Destiny's Children". The middle was emblazoned with the insignia. The bottom read, "For all your big problems." Emilio recommended that the "found" orc letter be translated by the Jotun family.

Bastion Jotun spoke every language, and his sister Red may possibly have been Red Shoes. Bastion translated the letter.

Emilio gave 500 GP each to Maya, Izzy, Enoch, and Mario. Emilio asked them to check on his lumber camp in the northern forest, which has started to be spotty on their deliveries. Mario gave 100 GP to the Arclighter brothers for stealing their job, and to get them to help check on the lumber camp.

Lumber Camp
Destuiny's Children and the Arclighter brothers found the lumber outpost. They encountered the former foreman, an old dwarf named Dunrak. Dunrak informed them that orcs and trolls had overtaken the camp, and had captured five workers. "I KNOW they're going to sacrifice my workers!"

Twinkletoes and Damacus rejoined the group during their planning.
