Part 1

The line was too long at the gate, so Bonk snuck past the guard and Raynor bribed him. Ruith was left to wait in line. On the way to the coliseum, Sybil bumped into Bonk and then met Raynor immediately after. Arriving first, Styx scaled the walls of the coliseum, avoiding the main entrances, and went all the way down to the basement from the inside. She was attempting to open a door, when a suit of armor animated and attacked her. She killed it. Everyone else got to the Coliseum in time for the tournament. Abraham stumbled his way down the same path as Styx and met her after she had "forcefully unanimated" the armor. Bonk, Raynor, and Ruith, who rejoined the group, entered the tournament. Vekran used invisibility to sneak into a specific box, in which there was Julianna Sasar, the leader of an Elwin Crime Syndicate, and waited for the tournament to start. Sybil flew up to the top of the Coliseum and sat on the ledge looking toward the arena. The first battle starts and Vekran attempts to run into Julianna to push her off, but she notices him and moves sway before he can push her. Thankfully, he grabs onto the ledge and doesn't fall. Julianna looks at him and says "Trying to ram me? Are you some kind of goat?", causing goat horns to grow out of the side of Vekran's head. Vekran then pulled her out of the box and, while airborne, kicked her into the coliseum. She then turned into a raven and flew away. However, she was attacked by the monster in the arena as she left, causing her to need to land again. Vekran, after landing, uses magic to disguise himself amongst the crowd and leaves the coliseum to pursue the raven. Meanwhile, in the basement, Styx opens the door, shuts it on Abraham, and hides inside a suit of armor. Abraham enters, looks around, and attacks the empty armor, causing it to animate and fight back. Styx assists while in the armor and after the combat is over they investigate the room together. Abraham decides to move the table in the middle of the room a foot to the left. Suddenly, the table animates and almost kills Styx before being defeated. Above, Bonk, Ruith, and Raynor fight a minotaur skeleton and defeat it. Sybil notices something about them and goes to talk to them after the battle. Styx and Abraham investigate and find nothing in the room other than a book and some papers. After a very long time, they managed to figure out how to open the book. By turning the first page, the room shifted and revealed 500gp, which they stole. Vekran found himself at an inn with an open window, so he ran inside to the room with the open window and knocked. A man answers the door and gives signs of danger. Vekran pushes the door open and sees a raven on the desk. Julianna turns back into a human, blasts Vekran with a 6th-level magic missile, turns back, and flies away. Vekran then returns to the Coliseum to relax a bit and both Styx and Abraham also watch the matches. In the next match, it is Ruith, Raynor, and Bonk vs a hellhound. During the match, Styx throws tomatoes at Raynor and he throws knives back at her in retaliation. Also, Sybil assists the group from the stands with magic. Ruith dealt the final blow of 34 damage to the hellhound, killing it instantly.

Part 2

A priest noticed Abraham and started to head toward him. Styx, realizing the priest knew about them stealing the money, darted out of the stands. Abraham couldn't seem to get through the mass of people, and the priest eventually caught up to him. The priest tried to cast the spell hold person on Abraham, but he resisted. Abraham then deceived the priest into thinking he only stole 40 gp and gave the money back to her. Abraham then explained how Styx took all the rest of the money and she went after her. Vekran, watching all of this, turned invisible and followed the priest. Styx found some animated suits of armor blocking her path but managed to slip past before the priest caught up to her. 

Raynor, Ruith, and Bonk all left the area after the last battle and went to rest, but a strange man opened the door, grabbed Ruith, pulled him through, and shut the door. When Raynor and Bonk opened the door again, the room was empty. Sybil also entered the room after watching what happened to Ruith. In the room, there was a box of 3 healing potions and 3 vials of lycanthrope blood. A priest showed up to lead them to the area and Raynor managed to convince him that Sybil was in their group. Bonk, Raynor, and Sybil dominated the next fight against a weretiger serial killer and Bonk celebrated his victory by cutting open her stomach, ripping out her intestines, and using them to make a smiley face. Abraham, still in the stands, watched all of the fight unfold.

Styx made her way to a store called "YES". Inside, there was a gnome that asked her what she was looking for. After going back and forth for a while Styx eventually bought a small disk that allows the holder to cast detect magic (1/day reset at dusk). Using the disk, she realized that all the coins she had stolen were fake. All the coins had illusion magic on them, and one had divinition and another had necromancy. She also jumped through his floor to the basement and used another magic item to dispel the illusion on the coins, revealing them to be made of coal, except for one. That one coin with necromancy magic turned out to be made of reddish-black metal with an engraving of a crown on one side and a devil on the other. Styx also found a key that had conjuration magic within it. As this was happening, the priest was following using the spell locate object, and Vekran was sneakily following her. They made their way to "YES" and went inside. Styx figured out that the key could be used to travel from one door to another, as long as the initial door had a keyhole. The priest went to find the owner while Vekran jumped down the hole and followed Styx through the door she used the key on. The two ended up in the temple of Clover and Styx. Styx exchanged her 32 platinum for 30 platinum "credits" which she could only spend on gambling in a temple of Clover. 

While all of that was going on, Abraham was asking around until he eventually found the contact who had sighted Wilkes who told him that Wilkes had been sighted in the capital recently and told him where to find a contact there. Also, the contact figured out that the money was fake and took it off his hands. Abraham then decided that now would be a good time to gamble. Abraham and Styx both gambled in the temple of Clover, with Styx losing all the "credits" she had and Abraham profiting a bit off of it. Right when Styx is leaving, she swipes and pockets a small 30 platinum. Suddenly, she hears in her head, "You are very greedy" (it was coming from the special coin).

Back in the tournament, Sybil, Bonk, and Raynor fought an earth elemental. Both Bonk and Raynor went down once in the fight before they finally managed to claim victory. 

As Abraham and Styx were leaving the temple, Vekran's invisibility ended and he immediately threatened to slit Styx's throat if they didn't tell him who they were (It might have been a slightly different question). After a series of blows, Styx and Abraham were able to manage to knock out Vekran, though not before he almost killed Styx in one hit. Abraham and Styx then quickly used the magic key to open a door to the capital, though the key evaporated afterward as it had used up all its magic.

Perceptive - Bonk, Raynor, Sybil

Sybil, Bonk, and Raynor had all defeated the earth elemental and headed back to their room. In the room, they found three greater healing potions and 3 potions of restfulness. Sybil and Bonk drank one potion of restfulness each, regaining all their spell slots.

The next fight was with a tomb guardian. Here is a brief synopsis of what I remember:

- Syvil found out it was weak to fire and shot a torch at it.

- Raynor shoved the torch into its helmet.

- Bonk spammed guiding bolt

- Bonk killed it with a guiding bolt

- It was brought back by Julianna

- Sybil got the last hit in

After the fight, Sybil and Bonk went to the box they saw Julianna in, but the door was locked. So, Bonk did the logical thing and went out into the stands, jumped down to the arena, and tapped the current fighter on the shoulder. Sybil also chased after him. This then caused every single priest in the stands to cast banishment on the two. Bonk succeeded like 11 of the saving throws. The two were given a warning but allowed to return to their room.

The next fight was an extremely challenging one. Here's what I remember:

- Raynor was trapped in the darkness almost the entire time

- Bonk stayed in the back and kept casting guiding bolts, though usually he couldn't because of the darkness.

- Sybil flew above the darkness and cast silence on Julianna, which reduced the size of the darkness. 

- Sybil fucking died

- Raynor killed it but it came back

- Raynor went down

- Bonk was enraged, saw through the darkness, and killed the devil in one shot.

After Sybil returned after being brought back by a priest, Bonk calmed down and ran away. Raynor was healed by a priest and got back up. Sybil uses ties that bind to find Bonk and talk to him. Sybil convinced Bonk to come back. As they are watching the next match, Bonk asks Raynor if he would help him kill the other contestant when she goes back to her room after the current fight. Sybil sneaks off to eavesdrop on the noble who was in the booth with Julianna (he is being questioned). He managed to overhear the end of the conversation. When Sybil got back to the group, the match had just finished so Bonk went off to the other contestant's room. Sybil followed behind at a distance. Bonk went to her room and somehow convinced her to forfeit the match and Bonk would give her the ticket to the treasury (he lied). Bonk, Sybil, and Raynor are told about their victory in their room. The announcer gave them all invisibility potions and led them out to the arena. The three are risen on a giant pillar and they are revealed as magic fireworks go off around them. After they are let down, people storm them and ask for autographs. Eventually, the three leave the coliseum and are paid 100 gp each. They are told to return the next day at noon to meet the King himself and collect their ticket from him. As the group goes through the city, they are bombarded with praise. They find an inn to stay at and don't need to pay of course. Bonk starts a pillow fight, Raynor punches Sybil, and Sybil bursts out the window and flies away.

Perceptive - Abraham, Styx, Vekran

Styx, Abraham, and Vekran leave the city of Norwich through a door created by a magical key to the capital, Windmere. Styx and Abraham get a room for the night(it's like 2 pm), while Abraham is carrying the unconscious body of Vekran. They go to the room, lock the door, and put Vekran on the bed to tie him up. Unfortunately for the two, Vekran is awoken by the movement and they all go back and forth with questions and remarks, eventually deciding to all go to the Scardoth members in the capital to get information after they all rest. However, Vekran leaves and gets his own room and Styx learns that there are no refunds. In the middle of the night, Styx has a dream about someone stabbing her in a room and wakes up to see a rat in her face. She carefully picks up the rat and places it on Abraham's face. Abraham wakes up and instantly grabs the rat so hard that it dies in an explosion of blood. Abraham then goes to a well outside and washes up. When they all awake, they all set off in the dead of night(~10 pm). As they walk to the Scardoth agents, a guard momentarily stops them to ask where they are going at this time of night. They convince the guard they are just going back home from a night out and he leaves them with a warning about not wandering out near midnight. Once they arrive at the right place, Abraham notices empty bottles of Flavia wine and Vekran discovers a loose stone. He pushes it in and it slides aside revealing a set of eyes. A voice asked what they wanted and they said that Tolbin sent them. They were let in and led to the leader who told Abraham everything he knew about Wilkes as well as sent someone to find him. Vekran and Styx, on the other hand, weren't given any of the information they were looking for. Instead, the leader of the Scardoth agents told them that he would answer their questions if they stole something from him. The thing he wanted them to steal was a chest that was in the possession of a wealthy merchant who had ties to the Golward syndicate. The three all traveled to the mansion of the merchant. Vekran went to the back and carefully used his scythe to masterfully cut a perfect circle out of a glass window and entered. Styx climbed the walls and went down the chimney. Abraham looked at how expensive the door was and decided to wait outside and keep watch. Thankfully, it was a peaceful night with nothing but silence and darkness. Vekran entered the kitchen and was starting to look around when a giant constrictor snake wrapped around his leg. Styx entered the living room and looked around, soon finding Vekran fighting the snake. She shot the snake in the head and pinging it to the wall. She then went to the front door and let Abraham in. Vekran went upstairs while Styx and Abraham searched downstairs. Vekran found the merchant's extravagant bedroom with him sleeping in his bed and the merchant's dog lying beside the bed. Vekran used some rope to tie up the dog and merchant, but as he was trying to tie up the merchant, he woke up. The merchant screamed in terror and Vekran knocked him in the head with the end of his scythe as Abraham and Styx ran up the stairs. Now awake, the dog fucking teleports out of the rope and tries to bite Abraham. Abraham and Styx subdue the dog and Styx also fires an arrow into the merchant's hand pinging it to the wall. The three then questioned the merchant, stole some stuff(the chest, the key to the chest, a gold bar, a golden pyramid, a bag of devouring, and his dog which Abraham tamed), and left to go to the inn they were staying at, because the Golward contact was also staying there. Once they got to the inn, they had the dog track the scent of the contact and found his room. They then investigated the room, eventually finding an illusionary floorboard underneath a desk. The compartment under the floor contained some loose coins and two scrolls. One was a note about returning to Windmere from the tournament in Norwich soon, written by "V". The other was written in draconic and the three couldn't understand its meaning. As they were leaving the contacts room, a dragonborn who just came from the merchant's mansion burst through the door and confronted them. Styx tried to lie but failed. The dragonborn yelled, "You lying bitch!" Combat begins.

Stuff I forgot to put in:

- Bonk also makes Lydia believe that Sybil is in love with her.

- Lydia leaves and heads toward the west gate

- Right after Lydia leaves someone follows her and has a brief conversation with her. I cannot remember who it was or what it was about. I think maybe it was Sybil setting the record straight that he isn't in love with her, but I have no clue.

- The party finishes their meals and head to the west gate where they find two royal knights waiting for them. One is a dwarf named Almin and the other is a human named Irene.

- The party heads out of the city on a carriage, being driven by Irene and Almin.

- After a bit of travel, they find themselves at an oddly large flower field and the carriage stops.

- Irene opens the door to the side to inform them that it is dangerous to interact with the flowers in the field and that it would be best to simply stay in the carriage until they pass the field.

- Bonk and his bird both eat some of the flowers, causing the field to become aggravated.

Perceptive - Abraham, Styx, Vekran

- After leaving Maria's Mystical Relics, a Scardoth agent informs the party that the identity of a Golward agent has been discovered.

- The agent's name is Mark Serrance. He is a known drunkard and is typically found at a local pub called Fiery Liquor run by a tiefling.

- The party heads to the pub and find the guy.

- After many failed attempts to get the location of the hideout (they even bought him like 15 drinks), they eventually just knock him out and bring him into an alley. 

- The party takes everything of value he has and then climb up to a rooftop overlooking the alley to see where Mark goes after he wakes up.

- The party has a bit of conflict and Styx rolls the Dodecahedron of Doom, causing darkness to envelope the area. 

- Once the darkness clears, Mark is nowhere to be seen. 

- The party attempts to follow the trail of blood left behind, leading them to a rooftop with an empty healing potions on the edge of the roof. The trail goes cold from there.

- The party investigates an inn that Mark had mentioned while drunk where a Golward initiate is staying called the Owl's Eye. (If you have trouble reading that, I don't blame you, so did I.)

- The party talks to the owner an Owlin woman who speaks in exclusively owl puns and she tells them what room the person they are looking for is.

- The person is named Layla Urder and she is going to an initiation to become a Golward agent of the last day of the month (Quin).

- The party spends the time before the initiation to stalk Layla and memorize her mannerisms and speech patterns.

- Also, Abraham invented the revolver and Vekran stole the patents for it. So Abraham has a revolver now.

- A few days before the initiation, a noble announces a hunting competition taking place in the northwestern forest on the last day of the month. Aaron informs the party that the noble in question has tied to the Golward Syndicate.

- Finally, it is initiation day. The party tails Layla as she makes her way to the designed location. Right before she turns the final corner, Abraham and Styx grab either side of the pouch of holding and scoop Layla into the pouch. Vekran then immediately uses disguise self to change into Layla and turns the corner to find 7 other people waiting around for something. 

- After about 30 seconds, another person appears out of nowhere followed by 7 others. Each of the 8 pair up with one of the people already waiting and all head off in different directions.

- The guide brings Vekran through the city, making several unnecessary turns and movements in order to lose any tails. However, Abraham and Styx still remain on their tail thanks to Vekran making it very difficult for the guide to be stealthy by "accidentally" dropping bread crumbs and "accidentally" making loud noises.

- The guide leaves the city after a bit and brings the two of them to a large rock. The guide holds his hand on a part of the rock for 10 seconds and then whacks it, causing some rock beside it to slide back and open.

- Inside is a regular looking tavern. The guide and Vekran walk in and the door closes behind them. (Styx and Abraham wait for a bit before returning to the city.)

- The guide recites the words "May this ward be lifted in Julianna's name" and the tavern facade fades away to reveal a staircase leading downward into a massive cavern filled with people. 

- The guide brings Vekran to a tent in the center before leaving him there. Vekran meets a man named Victor who was talking to an Owlin, but he ends his conversation when "Layla" shows up.

- Victor shows Vekran into a small off-shoot of the cavern where there is already two other initiates inside waiting.

- Victor says "Golward agents need to be prepared for any situation and need to be able to work well with anyone. As such, good luck." He then disappears and the entrance to the cavern off-shoot caves in.

- The cave fills with spiders and Vekran, along with the two initiates, fend off the creatures.

- Victor will clear the cave-in with Arcane Hand and congratulate them on becoming Golward agents. He tells them to report back here in a week.

- Vekran leaves and goes to the Owl's Eye to inform Styx and Abraham of what happened.

- Vekran also talked about selling Styx, which opened the door into a conversation about how to open a metaphorical door that Vekran eventually managed to open and he was given a slip of paper.

- Suddenly, a beam of golden light shoots down from the heavens and strikes Styx, nearly killing her in an instant. 

- Abraham tries to help her up as Vekran laughs at her unconscious body. 

- I believe it was Abraham (might have been Vekran) that say that the golden beam was caused by a single golden coin with a engraving of a four-leafed clover on each side. 

- After Abraham stabilizes Styx, a guard (yes, that one) shows up and asks if everyone is alright. 

- After making sure that they are all okay, he returns to his patrol.

- Arriving on the scene is Sybil, who immediately offer to revive Styx, who isn't dead, for some coin.

- I believe Sybil healed Styx in return for 1 sp.

- After awaking and talking a bit, Styx realized that all her money was gone (pp, gp, ep, sp, and cp).

- From across the city, Raynor, who is almost at the palace, suddenly has a thought that there is something valuable nearby and rushes toward the area, meeting up with the rest of the party.

- Raynor offers to purchase the single golden coin for 100 gp, which would seem like an amazing deal for Styx unless you knew that the golden coin was worth 1000 gp at least (since it contains the divine power of Clover).

- After a bit more chatter and some friendly battery (the crime, not the power source), Aaron, the head of the Scardoth Syndicate Windmere Branch, appears and tells Vekran, Abraham, and Styx that everyone is ready to either defend or attack, but he wanted to ask their opinion.

- Upon a brief deliberation, it was decided that they would attack Julianna before she attacks them. However, in order to attack, they will need to know the location of the T.U.F. HQ, which Sybil knows thankfully.

- Raynor heads back toward the palace and the rest of the party follows him.

- Raynor shows the ticket to the guard.

- After about 20 minutes, the gates open and a man dressed in fine clothing walks out and introduces himself as Fredrick Ariycht, the head of commerce and treasury. 

- Sir Ariycht lead the group through the palace and down a laughably long staircase.

- At the end of the stairs, there is a small platform (about 20 feet front to back as well as side to side) with a tall, thin entryway covered in a dimly glowing golden light at the center of the back wall and two guards stationed on either side.

- Upon noticing Sir Ariycht and the party, the guards, who were previously slouching and relaxed, straighten their backs and change their expressions to be more stern.

- Sir Ariycht momentarily stops at the doorway and place his hand on the barrier, causing the barrier to dissolve in a ripple effect from his hand.

- The party enters the treasury, a giant room filled with glittering treasures neatly arranged on tables and along the walls.

- After a large amount of deliberation, Raynor decided to take the Hellfire Blade, a weapon forged from the fires below, and immediately used it to destroy the Soul Coin of Gluttony, causing an explosion.

- Left behind where the coin once was, there was now a small pool of pitch-black blood. 

- Raynor decided to eat it and in doing so caused the remaining blood to piercing into his flesh. 

- Raynor survived and became attuned to the Blood of Gluttony, a powerful artefact fueled by the form granted to Gluttony by the Usurper.

- The party then left the treasury and split into their previous groupings.

- Sybil returned to Oswald with Raynor and Oswald gave Sybil the book, now free of its enchantment.

- At the same time, Vekran, Styx, and Abraham followed the map that was on the slip of paper given to Vekran by the astral elf woman at the bestiary. They found a camouflaged door near the entrance to an alley. 

- After a bit of talking, Vekran and Abraham decided to free the slaves that were held prisoner here.

- Styx used her blessing from Ignia, Fade Away, to take the keys and unlock all of the cages.

- After Vekran had pinned down the astral elf, Sybil and Raynor showed up.

- Raynor went into the back and took credit for what Styx di.....I mean, uh, Raynor used his super awesome amazing telekinetic powers to unlock all the cages simultaneously and free all the slaves. 

- Abraham found 5,000 gp behind the counter and divided amongst himself, Vekran, Sybil, and Raynor.

- Styx slipped into the other room and opened the massive vault that was there. She then stuffed as much money as she could in her Pouch of Holding, fitting like 22,000 gp inside out of the total 50,000 gp inside the vault.

- Raynor took most of the rest by eating it and putting it into the extradimensional plane inside his stomach (Blood of Gluttony).

- The party also gave each of the slaves 10 gp, of which there was ~100.

- Surprising no one, security arrived, but they were no match for the party and were quickly defeated.

- After that whole ordeal, the party went to Moxie's Magical Artefacts and looked at some magic items.

- However, Sybil was immediately kicked out for steal from the clerk's sister (S3).

- Vekran bought the Horn of Blasting and Sybil had Raynor buy the Living Gloves for him.

- The session ended with Styx deliberating over purchasing the Instant Fortress.

Whilst restrained by the kraken's tentacle underwater, Bonk attempts to call out to Ruith but to no avail as Ruith is trapped within the confines of his own mind, unable to respond. Bonk, in a desperate attempt to be free from the kraken's grasp, chowed down on some delicious calamari. In doing so, Bonk had ignited the kraken's rage and the creature slowly extended its long tentacle far above the surface of the water. Bonk seeing the light of the surface is filled with nothing but joy. However, this is short-lived as the tentacles moves back, tapping Bonk's head against the surface before it unceremoniously launches his small body into the sky. As Bonk flew, he could see the world from a new perceptive. The towns he passed were so small, he could miss them amongst the trees and cliffs that litter the land of Rulbari. Unfortunately for Bonk, his site seeing was about to come to an end. 

- Everyone is shopping still when they see a comet pass across the sky

- Styx decides to buy the Instant Fortress and everyone goes to investigate the comet.

- They all find Bonk smushed into the ground and also he's almost dead (that seems important).

- Sybil heals him and everyone decides to finally take a long-deserved rest.

- Also, Sybil has someone (Abraham or Raynor, I don't remember which) buy him the Boots of Cunning Action from Maria's Mystical Relics, since he was also kicked out of the store for stealing from the clerk's sister.

- Everyone heads over to the Scardoth hideout to prepare for the raid. Everyone except for Bonk.

- Bonk heads over to the location Sybil had told him about, the tavern with no name.

- Bonk heads inside and somehow manages to convince the bar tender to meet with Julianna. 

- Bonk is taken down to the strategy floor and miraculously persuades Julianna and Caspain for him to join them.

- Back in the Scardoth hideout, the group has prepared a large amount of traps.

- The stairs leading to the hideout have a trip wire near the end that causes walls to pop up around the stairs and for alchemist's fires to rain down from the ceiling. Then the party would flip a lever and a boulder would fall on the top of the stairs and roll all the way down, crushing everyone. After all that, Vekran would then throw in the Dodecahedron of Doom, which has been weighted as to only roll a 1 or 2. Finally, Styx would throw in the Instant Fortress in case anyone survived.

- After a long wait, people began to enter the hideout. 

- They tripped all of the traps, but even after all of them, 5 of the 20 still remained.

- Sybil flew over and grabbed the Dodecahedron of Doom and threw it again, killing two more.

- Tubs managed to sniff out the last three and the archers bombarded them with arrows.

- Finally, it was the main event. Caspain appeared flying above everyone and attempted to cast Crown of Madness on Sybil, but he succeeded the save.

- "Julianna" also arrived with Bonk close behind (as well as Julianna).

- "Julianna" cast fireball on half the archers, killing them all instantly.

- After some more back and forth, Raynor manages to kill "Julianna", causing her to revert back to her changeling form.

- As "Julianna" died, Julianna hopped off of her shoulder and transformed into her humanoid form.

- In the same moment, Sebastian, the leader of the Scardoth Syndicate, teleported in.

- Ruith breaks free from the kraken's grasp and uses his starlight to teleport out of the river, meeting Bonk's bird on the docks.

- Ruith then followed Bonk's bird toward the capitol, eventually, finding the cavern where the battle was taking place.

- Ruith convinces Bonk to betray Julianna and join their side again.

- Julianna kills the changeling because she was useless.

- The majority of the Scardoth Syndicate Windmere Branch agents were killed after Julianna used time stop to cast 4 7th-level fireballs (Sebastian, Aaron, and the agent telling stand up in A1S8 aren't catch in the fireball's area).

- Styx throws the soul coin of wrath into the air and Abraham grabs the Skin of Wrath, attuning to it.

- The agent telling stand up in A1S8 died from Circle of Death.

- Raynor reappeared after having previously vanished after the real Julianna had revealed her self.

- After Julianna was finally defeated she had complete a ritual, sacrificing the souls of her 5 undead servants in the process (Including Vekran's Wife and Mother). Her body withers and contorted before she disappeared in a void of light.

- After battle was over, the party rested before leaving the cavern for the last time.

- The party spent 30 days within the city having some downtime, except for Bonk who journeyed all the way to the junkyard he was born in and then back after discovering that all of his family was gone.

- Abraham worked to build another revolver and two hunting rifles, giving the revolver to Vekran and the two rifles to Styx and Sybil.

- Styx used the time to create a Clay Golem using the Book of Golems.

- Vekran and Sybil used their time to craft magical objects.

- Raynor create an item never before seen called a Perfect Oxygen-absorbing Kinetically-activated Eternal Boundless Apprehending Liminal Lattice, or a P.O.K.E.B.A.L.L. for short, using the iron bands of binding as a base.

- Ruith prayed to his goddess Lunaris to learn the ways to Astral magic.

- Vekran, Sybil, and Styx all trained in the use of their new weapons and became proficient in them.
