Brixom Malpa stops by The Hog's Head, sharing news of his investigation into the events of the Summer's Start Banquet. He has reason to believe that all perpetrators are in fact connected, a fact that seemed to worry him greatly.
Brixom also came with more positive tidings: 1200 gold, the pay-out for the mission undertook by The Old Raven Shield to aid Elenora Sinask. With Ellalwel's share going to Gasha Ugdug and Yanzu Jormop's share kept at the bar should he ever return, this left 600 gold for The Raven Shield, 200 each.
With Silaqui studying to better understand her fate and Maloc out doing shady things at best and criminal things at worst in pursuit of the Granite Lord, Nova Amaril found herself setting out on her own.
Meeting with Elrik, she decided to devote her life to Sandail in a more assertive manner, by founding The Followers of the Way.
Spotting an interesting bounty, Nova hired an interesting sellsword the next day to take care of a most interesting situation at the House of Zarra in the Elven Ward.
Barely escaping with her life in a struggle against destructive orbs of pure anti-magic and darkness, Nova thanked her hireling and cashed in.
