__NOTOC__
==Recap==
"...and La Sombra says always wear an adamantium condom." goes the punchline of the joke as we open inside Shenanigans. Delanora is knitting a scarf. Alejandro speaks with Layla, Desmond's 13-year-old daughter about her magic studies. She happily shows off her cantrip spell to Alejandro. Kourie Silvertongue has ordered, for his Coronado Vasquez persona, a set of boards he calls the vision boards which will show off his designs and art. Kourie presents Krewbarb and Glib Glob forged documents. Krewbarb's document says he is king of Glib Glob. Glib Glob's document says he is the Prime Minister and General of the armies. Kourie then hires Alejandro Carlo for his strip club, the back door.
Cogwrench Hammerbench comes into Shenanigans to talk about Alejandro's new high-tech peg leg. Cogwrench needs some blue-oak to finish the leg off, but it has to have no fire or smoke damage on it.
The party set off into the woods south of Bergshire. Nicolaus joins the party in order to look for some starleaf. After some hours the party find a blue-oak tree. The blue-oak tree however is animate as is a blue-oak treant. Alejandro politely asks for a branch of blue-oak treant, claiming it is the best wood. The blue-oak treant is flattered and agrees in exchange for the party to spread an anti-forest fire message.
The party go off to spread the fire safety advice. As the party travel back to Bergshire, Malzi smells a Leucrotta, so the party are able to safely avoid it.
The party go to The Back Door, dress up Alejandro as a fighter fighter and Delanora dresses up as fire. Nicolaus & Malzi make some fire safety signs. That night Alejandro & Delanora wrestle on the stage in front of the crowd to promote fire safety. The crowd loves the show.
The next day the party set up the signs around Bergshire. They also make a banner to put near the blue-oak. The party however find out most of the townsfolk can't read. The party then go the town crier to spread the fire safety message as well. 
The party spread the message for a week. After a week they head back into the forest to return to the blue-oak treant with the banner. The blue-oak treant however tells the party to put the banner in town. The blue-oak treant then gifts Alejandro a branch. The party head back towards Bergshire.
The party encounter 4 giants on the way back to Bergshire. One of the giants, Walkin, takes a liking to the party. The giant agrees to show the party where some giant spiders are, as per Malzi's request. The party are lead to the silkwood to a part full of giant spiders. The party consider their options and feel overwhelmed. They end up deciding to go back to town to prepare instead.
The party are back in Bergshire and ask about putting the banner outside of Shenanigans. Desmond agrees to allow the banner to be there for a week.
Desmond asks the party for help with something. He forgot his wife, Lizzy's Birthday. Kourie & Delanora says he can make Lizzy a fabulous dress. Desmond funds the project with 150 gold. The pair make the dress in time.
Alejandro visits Cogwrench and hands over the branch. Cogwrench is depressed at being single. Cogwrench is interested in dating the widow Jewel Sparkles. Jewel's husband was slain by a character from a Hardcore Heroes Audition Episode. Cogwrench needs a reggae band for the courtship. Kourie sings a reggae song on the stage. The gnomes love the song.
Cogwrench says he just needs some starleaf to finish the courtship off. In town the only ones growing starleaf are the nobles. The party head to Baron Axel's manor and sneak over to a wall. Nicolaus boosts Malzi up the top of the stone wall. Malzi looks and sees the gardens are actually close to the estate, and out of range of his unseen servant. The manor house is 100 yards from the walls. 
Malzi tries to run for the starleaf but is spotted by the guards who open fire with their bows, knocking Malzi out. 2 guards rush over to Malzi. Kourie casts hold person on one of the 2 guards as Alejandro & Nicolaus rushes in. The guard calls for reinforcements. Alejandro grabs Malzi and the party retreat back over the wall, with Kourie's magical darkness hiding their retreat.
The party flee into the woods. Kourie heals up Malzi. When the party return to Bergshire the temple bells are ringing in alarm as news spreads of the attempted assault on the manor house. The party join the search for the attackers.
