(Note: For this session, Philomena's and Volk's players are absent. Volk will get played by the DM later in the session, but due to lack of information, Philomena stays absent)
The session starts with most of the Agate Seekers, sans for Volk Lesnoy, who is busy, and Philomena Snapdragon, who left without a word, sitting at a table eating breakfast. Much of the events of the past few days is still on everyone's mind. The silence is eventually broken by Kilbi Leaftooth, who proposed to the party members currently present that maybe they should have a beach day, as she knows a spot. While there was some reluctance from Dareth Lion'el Griffmane and Sooty, Mikhail was able to convince the others to come with... after some swim- and summer-wear shopping that is. Kilbi also invited the rest of the A Taste of Home's staff, "Jenny", Crysta Damanti (who took her husband Albus along), Furnando (who didn't take off his suit at all) and Punchy, who was afraid of sinking and covered himself in floaties and inner tubes. Kilbi also invited her friend Marlène Lebas to the excursion.
At the beach however, the party quickly found that they were not alone, as they saw Maylin Aeleni and a very reluctant Captain Ukren Schwerter were already there, having been dragged along by her. The party also saw Hrazurr the Strangler and the Midnight Sun in a human disguise (who apparently wasn't recognized by Ukren), as well as Limni Diluvi, Talxenden Safras and their kid Ripi Safras-Diluvi, and The Lucky Sevens... or at least most of them, as Citlaos Aestri and Sethri Glun were absent.
With this surprising amount of people at the "secret" spot, the party at least was able to engage in several fun activities at the beach, such as games of Volleyball, which the Agate Seekers dominated at, and a Wrestling Pit that was eventually won by Dareth, despite him looking a bit like the underdog at first, winning a Potion of Stone Giant Strength in the process. As the day at the beach went by, and most other people besides the Diluvi-family, who were having a picnic, left, the party was able to notice a huge shadow in the water, which seemed attracted to the smell of the party's employees grilling at a campfire...
Out came an aquatic, two-headed, lizardlike monstrosity, looking hungrily at the party's employees. Initiative is rolled and a fight is had. Limni's husband Talxenden was able to recognize the creature from his work as an adventurer in Iac'luin; a Pal-Rai-Yuk. A type of cursed dragon that can erase the memories of people it eats from their loved ones' minds. The party's employees thankfully were able to run away to a safe location, but in the process, Dareth was indeed swallowed and forgotten by all except Sooty and Limni. However, the party, most notably Zora was able to put an end to it, resulting in everyone recovering their memories of the half-orc. The party was then able to continue their barbecue at the beach.
A few days later, with Volk having returned but Philomena still absent for some reason, interviews for the open positions at the restaurant were had. Right before the interviews though, the party already decided to write rejection letters to two applicants; a Kenku called Birdsong, who applied to the Bard position and only spoke in mimicry, and Chawetul the Thri-Kreen, who already once before tried to apply to the position of server.
They then invited Zirpa Emberhymn, a Kobold opera singer from Svantmiirik who was personally mentored by Nax Skyscale, as well as a half-elf man called Norben Holton. Norben was enthusiastic about working for a collection of adventurers, and told them about his desire to write ballads about them; the party wasn't opposed to it, but wished that he at least doesn't name them personally. Zirpa meanwhile was rejected from the Opera in Argentis due to her size. Nonetheless, she had shown her skill to the party, as her singing and harp-playing was excellent, but Mikhail especially thought that her talent was wasted in a restaurant; which is why he decided to write a letter to someone who may be able to help her instead. The party hired Norben as their bard.
Now onto the position of sever, the party invited Vrochi Ibrea, a Lirian Arrash woman who had experience as a freelance adventurer, but has since settled down with her husband and kids but wished for new experiences after her husband passed and her children grew up, as well as a Snow Leopard Tabaxi called Winter (Full name: End of Winter), who decided to travel away from their mountain home in Raj'kota to see new things, and already worked in food stalls and smaller taverns as a result. Due to her experience, the party decided to hire Winter.
A few days after, shortly after the guild-contracted carpenters finished the new rooms for their new employees, the party heard the familiar bell of their quest board updating. So, they decided to check it out.
