==Adventure Summary==
Word of the Keepers’ adventures in and below Cauldron, and the role they played in putting a stop to the kidnappings, had begun to spread. Unfortunately, not everyone in Cauldron was pleased with the party’s growing fame.
One group in particular, a band of adventurers calling themselves the “Stormblades,” had taken a particularly foul view of the heroes. Comprised of four local adventurers who are also all members of various noble families in Cauldron, Annah Taskerhill (female human bard), Cora Lathenmire (female human swashbuckler), Todd Vanderboren (male human rogue), and Zachary Aslaxin II (male human ranger), they had formed an adventuring party to get some excitement, fame, and extra cash several months ago. They recently wiped out a large tribe of pesky kobolds that had taken up residence in some old lava tubes below the southern section of Cauldron.
In any case, news of the triumph of the Keepers of the Cauldron over the slaver ring had all but eclipsed their admittedly less impressive accomplishments, and the Stormblades weren’t happy about it. 
Eventually, the entire group confronted the Keepers as they relaxed at the Tipped Tankard during the Flood Festival festivities.
The Stormblades intended to harass and mock the group but were stymied by the Keepers who feigned magnanimity, bought the Stormblades a round of drinks and wished them well in the upcoming Flood Festival events.
The Keepers competed in various Flood Festival competitions, with Nanther besting Zachary of the Stormblades to make to the finals in the drinking contest, only to lose the following day to the undefeated Lord Vhalantru.
