==Plot Summary==
The group arrives at goldberry farm alongside Xavier Tinman and Errol’s father Cyril. They have been sent to spend some time with Xavier to befriend him and hopefully gain some information on the Deep Ooze guild. They start off at Chico’s recommendation by making straw dolls where they run into Cole Bromley and Coraline Barrett who are helping children craft their straw dolls. Ignatious quickly works with kids forming an assembly line to craft dolls more efficiently. Errol crafts a straw doll in the shape of a “Xavier Strawman” which he wishes to gift to Xavier as a show of friendship. However, after crafting a very detailed doll it springs to life and scoots off into a patch of vegetables after Errol spots a brief glance of a coyote spirit out of the corner of his eye. Flustered Errol tells everyone they have to go get his straw doll. The party agrees and they traipse into a field of vegetables where they are attacked by tomato, corn, and pepper plants as well as a giant rhubarb plant! Errol and his father are badly injured and knocked unconscious as the rest of the party dispatches the majority of the vegetables. Ignatious convinces Xavier that Errol put his life in danger in order to give him a gift of the straw doll. This convinces Xavier to help Errol by giving him a healing potion. 
After getting his father some first aid Errol and the group decide to investigate the hay bale maze. They encounter Aunt Arlie and Uncle Gene who are dressed like a greaser and a pink lady. Aunt Arlie informs them that people have been disappearing from the hay bale maze. The party investigates but as they are navigating the maze they find Xavier is stealing things. They Encounter Mrs. Montgomery who is pretending to be poor to get free food. As they are speaking to her she is dragged into the hay by a straw coyote. Ignatious feels the need to confront Xavier over his stealing after he notices Xavier allowing Mrs. Montgomery getting dragged off. However, Errol backs him down a bit by explaining they have to give Xavier the chance to make decisions for himself and forcing him to do things won’t win him over. Xavier points out that he isn’t free to go where he wants and is trying to teleport back to the Deep Ooze. Errol tries to convince Xavier that he should help them because they are there for him while the Deep Ooze abandoned him. Ignatious tries to convince Xavier that he could have a place among them as equals. Ignatious also mentions giving him upgrades using his technical skills which excites Xavier.
Finally they follow after Mrs. Montgomery and see her on the edge of town where she takes a limo back to Niqamui. The party decides to go get some pie and meet up with Errol’s dad. In line to get some pumpkin pie they meet an individual in a cookie outfit working for the Helping Hands organization that invited Mrs. Montgomery. Errol is super suspicious of the food and beverage in the tent and begins questioning who prepared the food. The cookie informs them that the Barrett Clan cooked the food. Errol asks the cookie who they are and they tell him their name is Laurel. Errol discovers it is his mother and reintroduces her to his formerly estranged father who is dressed like a pregnant nun. After a bit of speaking a straw doll animates and shoves Chico's nose into his pie. At this point a devil masked individual begins laughing and Ignatious confronts who he believes is Edmas Thomason. He produces a gun and shoots him in his leg as Errol issues his parents to safety. Edmas is surprised by the swift and violent actions of Ignatious and relents to him telling him he will relinquish the Eastinghouse company back to him as his family are the original owners. Edmas spills the beans that he was invited by Errol’s mother at which point Errol admonishes her for accepting donations from unscrupulous people and cutting deals with them in the name of charity. She attempts to talk down to him and having none of it he tells her that he will provide oversight of who she accepts donations from. She tries to dismiss him and he tells her they do not have to continue to have a relationship. She reluctantly agrees and things settle down as Chico convinces everyone that although Edmas is wounded that everything is ok. Then everyone sits around the fire and enjoys some hot cocoa as Chico sees a gleeful coyote spirit snicker at him from the flames of the fire.
