Secret

The party heads to Akros to add their soldiers to the army of the living. Dikarus has the party help his friend Pansexual Dora by delivering a package to her.

## Major Plot Points

* In the party's suite above the Symposia, King Demetrius Heliodson, Archon Daenyra Drakos, and Oracle Morrigan Ambrose visited the group via astral projection. The king thanked the party for successfully recruiting Meletis' arcane knights to their cause. He then asked them to go to Akros to recruit their soldiers as well. Oracle Morrigan worried that Theros was facing numerous threats from Queen Nekros and the Silver Queen. Archon Daenyra said the Citadel pledged its resources to investigating the undead.
* Dikarus alerted the group he got a message from his friend Pansexual Dora that a shipment from an Amazonian caravan was late. She offered gold if they could successfully find her package and deliver it to her. However, she strictly prohibited them from opening the box. Conveniently, this was all on the way to Akros.
* The party arrived at the last known coordinates of the Amazonian caravan. They discovered a wrecked cart, two dead unicorns, and two dead Amazons. Pansexual Dora's box was nowhere to be found. Puke Wilson took 15 gold from the dead Amazon's pockets. Sprocket "Ballsy" Gnoman III investigated the cart and discovered the Amazons suffered injuries caused by teeth and claws. He found a bloody trail and hyena-like paw prints in the ground.
* The party tracked the trail to a group of gnolls. Sybil Ringwell cast detect thoughts and discovered they had Pansexual Dora's box and were trying to open it. Puke rushed in and attacked one of the gnolls. Their pack leader and his boyfriend struck back at Puke dealing significant damage to the Yuan-Ti rogue. Sprocket's thunder wave damaged the gnolls and sent the box flying towards the party. M.T. Kofins grabbed the box and misty stepped away after throwing an ice knife at the pack. M.T.'s ice knife was too much for one of the gnolls and it fell in battle. Holy Lady Labya cast guiding bolt and killed the pack leader. The other two other gnolls fled the scene.
* Sprocket's identify spell showed the box was magically sealed and had the symbol of Kruphix, a pair of lips sewn shut, on top of it. Voices from the box introduced themselves as the Sin Sisters. They tried to convince the party to let them out but failed.
* The next day, the party joined Adrian Emporos' caravan. Adrian was a merchant who sold spices, silks, and wine. Adrian tried to recruit Sprocket into his new guild but rescinded his offer after finding out he was friends with a minotaur. This led Sprocket to unleashing a wind up mouse near Adrian's elephant steed. This spooked Tuskaroo and she bucked Adrian. The human merchant died from a broken neck. Codnus Bearbody was very happy that Sprocket defended him.
* When Olipur Greymane, the caravan's leonin head of security, questioned the group about what happened, Codnus sang him a deescalating song. Sprocket invoked Purphoros and the leonin dropped the case against them.
* Brax Balas, a human provocateur of Manestra, harrassed Labya for her faith. Thanks to Olipur's zero tolerance policy, he let Labya take a hot poker to his balls, which she used to wax him.
* Juxxtina handed out Karametra bracelets to caravan members. Maggie, an Athreos oracle, got into a fight with the tiefling cleric about their religions.
* Sybil spent much of the trip in the hump tent being carried by camels. She entertained a satyr named Furona, a bard seeking to write the next great love ballad and epic poem.
* Barbara Duke, Aryan Grande, M.T., and MuchoMucho M Amor discovered Adrian had a secret stash hidden in the caravan. While investigating, they were confronted by Nera Sari, a triton woman. Barb deceived her into spilling Adrian's secret. Nerra said she kidnapped a nyxborn triton and kept her in a barrel full of water. She and Adrian were secretly stealing her stardust to make sparkling water drug to sell on the blackmarket.
* Using the stardust water, Barb drugged the entire caravan except her friends. The group then freed the trapped triton named Thylaia Zali from her barrel. Juxxtina charmed Tuskeroo so they could ride her away from the caravan with the goods they swiped from it.
* While traveling, the party met a Karametra priestess collecting signatures to turn a plot of land into a sustainable farm. Juxxtina and Sybil all signed. This earned them 1 Karametra point each. Muchomucho and Sprocket demanded to read the fine print, which committed every signatory to donating 10 gold a month forever to the temple of Karametra. They destroyed the contract.
* A group of adventurers known as the Legendary Epic Heroes of Theros taunted the party into a hero off. Labya defeated Homodysseus in an arm wrestling competition. Clitystrata defeated Muchomucho in a magical showmanship challenge. Aryan defeated Alexandra the Late in an acrobatics competition. Juxxtina defeated Helen of Toys in a quest to find the most berries. And Codnus won a tourniquet making competition against Achekilis.
* After more than a week of travel on the Happy Trail, the party arrived at the trading post called Road Head. Inside, the party sold their stolen goods for 600 gold.
* A mysterious mage approached the party seeking to buy the box from them. When Puke refused her offer, she charmed him into giving her the box. Codnus trapped her in a bear hug. They interrogated her in a zone of truth and she revealed the Silver Queen of the Spellfire Club has a reward for the box.
* The party went to the drop off point advertised by the Spellfire Club and met a drow warrior. He introduced himself as Skios Istos, Amber Pawn of the Spellfire club. After being rude to Codnus, the minotaur attacked him. The drow warrior quickly knocked Codnus out. Labya cast hold person on him and the group fled with the box and Skios' briefcase, which turned out to be full of chocolate coins.
* Back at Road Head, they met up with Pansexual Dora. She admitted to being a smuggler but promised she'd lock the box away in the Vault of Kruphix. The party trusted her enough to hand the box over and she gave them 400 gold for their work.
* Thylaia was offended when the party tried to set up a drug cartel with her and Pansexual Dora. She angrily left the party.
