Plot Summary:

Stella, Lenny, Jenny and Kaern tired from a late night of adventuring stop off at ‘Those Buns Dough’ a Niquamui bakery run by Illyana Holaris. After satisfying their need for coffee, baked goods and some light pickpocketing Illyana divulged that she was concerned that one of her regulars hadn’t stopped by for their usual. Walter Tebow, who usually purchased large consignments of bread every week had not been seen since last week. Finding out that Walter's brother worked in a local potions shop the group decided to go investigate this strange disappearance.

Approaching the potion shop ‘Miyu's Mizus: Potions for Adventurers’ on Mowbray Street they saw a flyer advertising ‘Hot Fireball Wands’ with an arrow pointing down Grackle Alley. The advertising seemed effective as they went down the dark alley and encountered a shifty looking individual with strawberry blonde hair and a loose-fitting violet nobleman robe. Demanding a proper sales pitch the shifty man presentation was lacklustre. Jenny repeated the same demonstration pointing the wand at the man and blowing him up; burning most of his clothes. Deciding not to stick around, they all head out to Mowberry Street and note the wand burns Stella to the touch.

Moving off the street into the potion shop Arthur spotted the fire-breathing kittens’ insignia and offered a 20,000gp reward for the retrieval of 10 stolen pine treasure chests. Arthur sporting a black eye explained that he purchased the treasures chests to sell to adventurers. The boxes were stored in container 2792 at the docks but they are gone. Arthur mentioned that he spoke with his brother almost a week ago. Stella interrogated Arthur whilst Jenny took the opportunity to loot the shop.

Deciding to investigate the incident with the boxes they headed to the docks and made short work of getting past the fence, leaving Lenny behind holding down the fort. Moving quietly they opened container 2792 to find it had indeed been cleared out. They noticed a lone long white hair in the back of the room which may have been left by the perpetrators. A couple of moments later Lenny could be heard shouting for Stella, very loudly. Stella headed back to find out what the trouble was, Lenny explained that someone was lurking round. Heading back Stella bumped into a dwarf with a combover who took off running. Stella froze him in a block of ice sliding off the pier and into the water. Jenny could be found continuing to open containers whilst Kaern jumped off the pier into the water turning into a crab to try and speak with a strange creatures in the water.

On a closer look there appeared to be a pod of whales which are in the process of beaching. Stella conjured ‘Safira the Safety Dragon’ to retrieve frozen dwarf and try to push the whales back in. Meanwhile Jenny who finished looting came over to take a closer look. One of the whales expired and exploded all over the adventurers. Facing an undead pod of whales Stella grabbed the frozen dwarf with Safira and flew over to help Kaern. Meanwhile Jenny made a run for it as one of the whales followed her on land.

The whales converged on Kaern and start flipping him, taking bites out of him before Saphira caught him, mid flip. Is there any place safer than in the claws of a safety dragon. High above the pod of whales Kaern obscured their view of Safira and passengers. Jenny climbed onto a building and both her and Stella proceeded to take out the whales. While the whales were being dispatched the dwarf identified themselves as Don Revioli. Stella at point blank range discharged her breath weapon at his ear knocking him unconscious as one of the fireball wands he was holding drops onto a whale immediately stopped moving. Kaern healed the dwarf and Stella interrogated him before sending him off to her mothers house for... safekeeping. Through the conversation they worked out that Dieter von Richenbach was the person who had tried to sell off the fireball wands and that Dieter works for Blithe Hoard.

Returning to the potion shop they found it locked up so they decided to investigate Walter Tebow’s apartment at Apartment K 7835 Rio de Valentio. At the designated parking spot an ACME pioneer wagon was spotted. Jenny relieved the wagon of its contents. Moving onto the apartment it was clear this place had been turned over. Knocking into the neighbour Tamantha Worthington mentioned she had heard some yelling Sunday night and that Don Revioli had been by asking questions earlier. Moving back to investigate the apartment a bit more Stella and Jenny started throwing a couch out the balcony, where they come across Walter Tebow. Stella explained that Don Revioli likely ransacked his apartment and that Dieter von Richenbach had the wands. They decided to take back the wands from Blithe Hoard’s warehouse.

The group snuck un-noticed into Blithe's warehouse and stowed all 10 boxes into Stella’s portable hole before robbing the place bind. They left a message written in the dirt saying 'Don’t mess with the Argentines'. Returning the boxes to Arthur at Miyu's Mizus: Potions for Adventurers they managed to get Walter and Arthur Tebow to make up by pointing out whilst they both thought the other brother had sold them out, everyone could hear their plans in that shop and nothing they discussed would have been a secret.
