Toth

== Plot ==
Kruponi arrives at Toth, and immediately seeks out the local loremaster, ONCER KOKOCKLO. Oncer is a right bastard and basically tells Kruponi to piss off, but Kruponi discovers he might learn more about the elder’s history from the Brunian Catacombs located on the Isle of the Kings. 
Malory comes to the city on a boat, and meets with the former adventurer-turned-merchant ODA CRAW, who is impressed by her kind, go-getting attitude. He talks with her about the dragonborn, and expresses his regret they are so closed off and tribalistic. Malory suggests that the best way to get people to move forward is by connecting with their past. 
Golrin and Dale arrive at the gates of Toth, thinking they’ve finally travelled far enough to escape the grasp of the Citadel. A mysterious nobleman appeals them for help, and the bleeding heart Dale immediately jumps to help. Unfortunately, this nobleman was not a nobleman at all, as the devious Kardor fleeced Golrin out of her money. Golrin and Dale furiously track him down, and after Malory is tricked into covering for him, they finally trace him to an inn, where Golrin violently beats him. Local authorities take him to the jailhouse. At the jail, Dale is shocked to see that Stess is already there, and he nearly catches them.
Inspired by Malory’s earlier words, Oda pitches the idea of a new Brunian festival: a holiday honoring their dead. He suggests that the party go to the Catacombs and survey the situation, while he would use his financial weight to start planning a festival. 
Unfortunately, Stess catches on to Dale and Golrin’s presence, but Oda throws himself on the sword and implicates himself. He lies saying that the fugitives left the city, and is thrown into prison as well, with Stess going to pursue. Kardor is released due to Oda taking credit for his crimes, and the party drafts him into accompanying them.
