==Recap==
===The Gifts Part 1===
The party are at a table in Shenanigans. Desmond comes over to the party in a state, saying he hasn't gotten a birthday present for his mother. The party agree to help Desmond by getting her a gift.
They go to Maggie's Magic Market to buy a Swan Quill. Marteau writes a birthday card with the following poem:
: Hello my name is Desmond,
: Not your other son Esmond.
: Your birthday is not forgotten,
: I your son am not rotten.
: I have built you a quill,
: To give you a thrill.
: Because I know you like books,
: And have such good looks.
The quill however ends up being good, since Lizzy knows it's not from Desmond.
===The Gifts Part 2===
Desmond asks the party to get more gifts. Norris says it isn't his problem rudely, so Desmond gives the quest to a group of NPCs lead by the wizard Selma. The NPC group decide a new gift would be a bird bath since Corona likes to bird watch.
The PC party follow the NPC party to the store and find they are inspecting a large birdbath. Norris goes to the counter and purchaes the bird bath before the party can. The NPC party aren't happy and damage the birdbath before leaving.
Norris goes to get the bird bath repaired while Marteau & Rich follow the NPC party. The NPC party sees they are being followed and go off in different direction.
The party meet up inside Shenanigans. Marteau decides to construct a bird feeder, using a dead bird's ribcage as the materials. Desmond tricks Marteau into putting it into the backyard and not giving it to his mother, and places it on top of Glib Glob's tower.
===Party Planning===
The party then suggest to Desmond they throw a party for Desmond's Mother, Corona. Marteau will write a play, they'll get a banner, and get Bergshire Fried Chicken to Cater the event. The party also get a Bird-themed quilt for Desmond to wear.
The party find out that Corona enjoys reading True Crime novels, so invites the Gnomish author Sooty to attend the party.
After all the party supplies are gathered, Marteau discovers his bird feeder he made is destroyed. Marteau & Rich go off to investigate who did this while Norris stays behind to guard the other party supplies.
Marteau & Rich find Selma and her NPC party at Big Ben's Brothel. Marteau is intent on killing them, but wants to split them up first. The NPC party see though the PC party's ruse. Rich then asks out Selma on a date, which somehow works.
===The Party===
Corona arrives at Shenanigans. She isn't impressed by the Birdbath since she already has one, and isn't impressed by the Bergshire Fried Chicken being served, isn't impressed with Sooty's book signing.
However Corona loves Marteau's play he puts on, which is Shakespeare with a bunch of bird puns put in.
Rich goes on his date with Selma, and the two bond over their love of magic. When it is time for Marteau to do his plan against Selma be framing her for forgetting to help with the party, Rich defends Selma and ruins the plan.
