- Journey and Tyerjon witnessed the army unfold from the chest and man the walls of the Grimhold Keep, fighting off the kobolds and lizardfolk leading their attack upon it
- Meeting briefly with Razodon, who allowed the army access to his cellar, the two eventually headed back down below
- In Zahast's lair, the group lined their pockets with the dragon's hoard and pried trophies from its corpse
- Seamus got tooth
- Phaelnah made a point of abstaining from this behavior
- When Tyerjon arrived below, he began to pile gold into the Roomy Chest alongside Wander's Unseen Servants
- Before their consciousnesses got the better of them, the group netted a total of 145,000 gold, barely putting a dent into the hoard
- Karcius and Valx were unable to find any source of power from the dragon, and reluctantly surmised they had gone after the wrong one, vowing to pursue Haradumeir next
- The group began their ascent topside, briefly stopping by a kobold treasure room and discovering it had mostly been looted save for one remaining kobold that had been attempting to drag a large axe
- After a short chase resulting in the kobold dropping a few items, Tyerjon and Seamus returned with a ring, a cloak, and the axe.
- Topside once again, the party found that the battle had pretty much been decided by the soldiers of Madrioc
- Giz decided to head back out into the swamps, his job here finished
- Vacklash began to take command of the keep
- Wishing to establish a point of contact, Phaelnah purified a tree and some surrounding land around it, and with the help of Inglis Alexandar, established a shrine to Aeltra alongside some offerings of holy water, herbs, and the tears of a dryad.
- Phaelnah used Word of Recall on the shrine, allowing her to return to the location at will
- Their duty in the swamp finished (for now), Journey used her Hag's Finger to return to Rest Assured, with some of the others hitching a ride in the Roomy Chest.
- The group spent a night partying at Rest Assured, celebrating and sharing tales of their heroics with the townsfolk

- In the morning, at the behest of Razodon, the group visited his manor, and after filling him in on the details of their adventure, discussed the possibility of buying real estate in town
- Razodon referred the group to a real estate agent he was familiar with, and arranged a meeting with them to look at a house
- On the way to their appointment, the party stopped in at a Temple of the Bluethorn so that Phaelnah could pick up a jewel-encrusted bowl
- Wander immediately identified the cult-like environment
- With Tyerjon waiting outside, the group politely listened the the temple workers speeches about the Bluethorn, a rising god of happiness
- The party declined to touch a holy relic of the Bluethorn, bought the bowl and continued on their way
- Leadbelly stopped in at the Mercenaries Guild hall, setting up a bounty of 10,000 gold on the Nightseeker and the Twisted Knight
- And additional 500 gold could be offered for information as well
- The guild worker refused to give Wander any gold for slaying Zahast
- Meeting up with the real estate agent, the party toured the Tildelly Manor, and found it to suit their needs, making a purchase on the spot for 45,000 gold
- Leadbelly visited the Temple of Onyr, and attempted to give Onyr back the Storm's Eye Reamer in fear of what it disturbed, but the god dismissed it, advising that the dwarf simply not use the spear for a while.
- The party dropped by Vinn's Wares, learning that word of their heroics had spread and that business had picked up as a result
- Vinn Vinnfeck let the party know that he was working on some new items, and he'd contact the group when they were ready
- Phaelnah visited Aeltra's Remedies, buying some salves, herbs, and spices.
- Wander identified the items retrieved from the kobold as the Ring of the Entertainer, Cloak of Displacement, and a powerful weapon that Wander believed could cut through anything, though he couldn't divine more than that.
- At Seamus' behest, Phaelnah sent a message to Cormac McHammerface, informing him that Seamus had slain a dragon on his own, and instructing him to immediately come down to Madrioc. Cormac responded that is wasn't so easy to just up and move.

- The party prepared to go to Hymathel to rescue Yoxxel and Mange from Deowyn Centhos
- Not wishing to walk all the way to the city, the party instead sought to get teleported by Renbedar Uleshan, making their way to the Crooked Climb to that end
- The group found Selathwin Muleyr in Renbedar's office, arguing with the wizard about the ethical use of ley line magic
- The two wizards didn't really wish to give the party the time of day, by Wander's pestering convinced Renbedar to teleport them, if only to get them out of his hair with the promise of "never bothering him again"
- Arriving at the teleportation circle in Hymathel, the party (minus Seamus, who had been disguised by Wander and was hiding in the chest) gave their papers to the circle attendant and entered the city
- Making their way to the Nevald District, the party stopped in at the Festering Fowl as Seamus attempted to convinced Cormac to escape to Madrioc, fearing he would be targeted by the Shadow Guard
- Cormac resisted, not wishing to give up his life and home so easily
- He promised he would think on it, and asked Seamus to return in a day
- Phaelnah received a Sending from the Nightseeker, asking why her scrying attempts have been failing as of late
- Phaelnah attempted to deceive her in her reply, but faltered in her execution
- The group began to search for Mange, with Phaelnah keeping an eye out with Locate Creature
- Near the center of town, the group eventually found the stinking mutt, who was reunited with Seamus at last
- Mange was somewhat thin and dirtier than usual
- Phaelnah scryed on Yoxxel, witnessing her standing motionless in the corner of Deowyn's office, her eyes wide and an unceasing smile on her face
- Their reunion was cut short as a hooded man approached the party, turning out to be Vyloxen, who beckoned the group into the sewers to escape from prying eyes
- Vyloxen warned about the group's status as criminals, and that there were a number of agents working in the shadows that were conspiring against them
- Worried he'd be associated with outlaws, he quickly took his leave, but advised the group to leave the city as soon as they could
- Worried about Cormac, the group ran back to the Festering Fowl, forcing Cormac to escape to Madrioc through the chest
- Back at the base of the Council of Dreamers headquarters in Hymathel, the group scouted out the base of the tower, and quietly snuck in a side entrance, evading the guards within the building
- Climbing up to the top of the Deowyn's tower, Seamus and Tyerjon busted down the door as Phaelnah jumped in and casted Dispel Magic on Yoxxel, successfully dispelling the magic flames she conjured, but not undoing whatever influence she was under
- Yoxxel reignited her fists, and began to move towards the party with stilted, unnatural movements
