== Synopsis ==
In the world of Wikkthronrarenta, Lord Leo McGary offers the Various Operations Agency (VOA) a choice between 50,000 gold or a set of magical items as a reward. The party, preferring gold, is instead tasked with several missions against Mistrya, including sabotaging supply depots and bridges, spreading disinformation, investigating royal connections, and scouting an enemy lair. Accepting the quest, they encounter fighters in the Frostlands, rescue a tied-up man from highwaymen, and extract a ransom. Upon reaching Cabbot Moore's Tower, they learn about a portal to the Plane of Shadows and get updates on various characters and factions. They also spy on a conversation between Kel Pochi and Queen Vuularia Wikk before experimenting with the portal to smuggle members of their group.
