The cleric suggests taking the Roc Eggs to the other known Roc, one in The Talens and the other in Wake County at Roc Peak. Sky Grove is touched by Sara's care for the animals of nature, and will come with the party to make sure the Roc Eggs are taken care of.

Yassi and Sara head back to the palace for breakfast. Sara explains her plan to the party. They are fine with the plan since it will be others handling the eggs.

Ranger Claus arrives and tells the party he hired some people to capture a rhino, and if everything should go well, they'll have bait for their plain against the Roc soon.

Maya goes to the Voraci temple in Wikkthronrarenta and speaks with the elderly dwarfven female cleric of Voraci.

Maya is given an amulet of Voraci. Maya then returns to the palace.

Budariousz asks for Sara for help. Bud takes some clothes from Maya's room, then the two goes into town. They go to a dress shop, Drekissin Dresses, and Bud asks for a wedding dress to be made for Maya, using the old dress for measurements. The dress will take maybe 4 weeks to make. Bud gives his old alias of Alkaros of Highcastle.

Maya returns to her room and finds a dress and a pair of shoes missing. Maya alerts the guards to the thief and the castle is put on lockdown. Bud and Sara return to the castle and are allowed in. Bud and Sara try to act innocent around Maya, but she sees though the lie. Bud rushes off, leaving Sara to explain.

Sara claims she ripped the dress trying it on, so she took it into town to get repaired. Maya and Sara hug.

Maya calls off the alarm. Maya apologises to the servants for the inconvenience.

Maya visits "Drekissin Dresses", but finds out the truth about the wedding dress. Maya storms back to Sara, and Sara admits the truth.

Maya goes prank Budariousz, she puts some ground thistle leaf in his bed.

Sara and Maya go back to "Drekissin Dresses" and Maya chooses her own dress design.

Budarious goes visit the temple of Tempos and asks about the symbol of Tempos they found in the Dragon Hoard. The cleric confirms it is magical, but is uncertain what it does.

That night Budarious and Sami head out to a high class brothel and hires a half-elf escort. The two don't notice the itching powder.
