==Recap==
===9-22rd January, Year 1===
The party decides to spend some time building a bridge. They work with 12 laborers. 
After some time, a messenger from the university comes looking for Kael. Keal is placed on a working sabbatical and the university demands a paper. He dictates a letter to Manfred and sends a reply back. 
Since they have no housing, an old man with a barn offers them a place to stay. 
===23rd January===
One evening, they are awoken by pigs squealing and dogs barking. They go take a look and see an ogre, carrying 2 pigs on him. Abaddon casts on himself. Kael casts on the ogre and ogre gets stunned. Nyx steps in front of the party and suggests they take the ogre hostage. Jun knocks the ogre out, and they tie him up. Izual tries to dissuade Nyx from taking a diplomatic approach because ogres are creatures of death and they discuss. 
They do a patrol and see only one set of ogre footprints in the snow. When they get back, Izual tries to heal the ogre, unsure if it will work, and Martha grants it. Abaddon splashes a bucket of water onto it. Nyx talks to the ogre, compassionately, Izual translates. The party learns ogres thought they've given up the valley, and ogres don't serve Voraci, she guides them. The party discusses the nature of ogres. They decide to let the ogre go, despite Abaddon's objections. Keal asks the ogre, Onimusha, if he can visit the ogre's village for his research. Ogre accepts, and the party releases him. They argue about the nature of ogres again.
Keal creates some whiskey and spends time learning ogre. Jun asks Nyx about her physical condition. Nyx offers him protection from dreams, Jun refuses because he needs to draw inspiration for his poems.
===Mid-Late Februrary===
Sayor leaves the world. Jexel descends onto the world, converses with the party, and offers them a drink. He offers them a house, in exchange, they need to carve figurines on the bridge they are making. Kael asks for perfect dice, Jexel obliges. Abaddon asks for more luck, and they make a secret agreement. 
Kael tries to paint Jexel, but constantly fails and ruins his watercolors. 
Abaddon heads to Acropolis, and stops in the village nearby. While drinking with halflings, Abaddon follows one of the halflings and casts on him. He slits the halfling's throat and saws his feet off. 
Malkis returns in his joyous form and talks with them about Jexel's visit. Nyx spends most of her days staring at cards laid on the kitchen table of the house. Izual talks to her about her cards, Nyx tells him of vague answers she got from her omen reading. Izual takes interest in the card of Month of Clarity, one with a sword depicted on it. She offers them the card, but Izual refuses.
Abaddon arrives at Acropolis and hands his cocoa leaves to the shopkeeper Clara, for Cola and buys a pair of dice. He goes to the graveyard, which is empty, and gathers grave dirt. Abaddon spends the night in the inn, lights the candles, sets halfling feet on the floor, and summons Jexel. Jexel pours the wine over the feet and they shrink and dry, he takes a piece of twine and hangs them on it. Jexel hands Abaddon the feet and tells him to keep them on him. Jaxel grants him the silver dice he asked for. 
While Kael and Nyx travel to Acropolis, Izual and Jun help with building the bridge. One night, they are awakened by 3 ogres with torches. They send workers to warn the village and meet the ogres. Onimusha informs them ogres are here to take their revenge and burn the village. Ogre throws the torch onto their new house and they get ready for a fight. Onimusha charges them, runs into Izuals spear and immediately dies. Two other ogres charge them, Jun decapitates one on the spot, and Izual critically wounds the other. They make quick work of the other ogre. Jun follows their tracks and sees there are only 3. Izual stakes ogre heads on the edge of the forest. They burn the bodies.
Nyx and Kael arrive at Acropolis. They learn Malkis has spread good word about The Guardians of The Valley. Clara tells them she needs flowers, Snow Orchids, on top of a mountain that bloom at this time and offers them 30 gold a plant and 1 gold per flower. They run into Abaddon, and he hands back to the village. They spend two nights in Acropolis, waiting to buy glass from Hearthome. They get the wares they came for and return to Acropolis.
