After meeting those the Guild had put into their service (Wulf, Otto and Nelly), they investigated Woodrow Manner the manner house they had been given by the guild.

On the Bottom floor they found a mysterious door with a key already in the lock, as well as slots for a staff, a ring, an orb, a knife and a gemstone in it.

On The Top floor Yuki investigated the Left side of the house finding two bedrooms a bathroom and two items of note. The First Was a letter signed by Artix Makoff and the second was a robe with symbols that were later discovered to belong to the university of magic in Juno the capital city.

Upon reconvening a knock on the door came and and they were met by a young Tiefling lady who identified herself as the mayor of the town. Her name was Zalia and she had come to ask for help as a young boy from the town had gone missing and as adventurers would the party help to locate the boy out in the dangerous wilds.

After organising a discount for the restoration of Woodrow Manner the party agreed to help and went onto the boys last known location. Using their combined ability with tracking they followed his tracks into the woodland and found him in a clearing at the mercy of a large polar bear.

Maya Attempted to encourage the bear away but instead shifted its attention to her. The polar bear lashed out at the party who after their first battle emerged victorious with only Maya injured.

Shortly after slaying the Polar bear however they found its cub and decided to adopt her and named her Urma. Upon examining the body of the large polar bear they found evidence of previous battles as well as crudely made arrowhead that was buried in her flesh.

They returned to Frostfall with the boy alive and were heralded as heroes and were invited to dinner with Zalia.

### Meeting People

Upon returning to the manner after being invited for dinner the party explored their house a little more finding on the other side of the top floor 3 simple bedrooms and a library. In the library Zefkis found some notes in a drawer designed to ruin them and also a secret entrance to lab. As the party investigated the lab Maya found a staff of Birdcalls.

The party were treated to dinner at Zalias house and the mayor offered to take them to meet some people around the town the next day.

The party returned and slept and the next morning were woken by a knock at the door. It was Tomkins asking to work for the party in looking after Urma. It became clear he didn't have permission from his parents to do this even attempting to bribe Bruce and Yuki to agree with him. He began some basic work until it could be agreed with his parents.

Yuki found an odd weather vein on the roof of the building that didn't seem to be pointing in the direction the wind was blowing. although she could find nothing else about it.

The party then headed into town with Zalia who introduced them to Sister Sofia and Olo. Sister Sofia ran the small shrine to Lilana, the Goddess of spring which was in disrepair. The party offered help to fix the shrine and also discovered that this was Zalias ulterior motive. They also investigated a small box that had been left on the alter as an offering to Liliana. Sister Sofia admited she had foggy memories of this box and only really recalled a woman bringing it by. She agreed to perform a ritual to prevent it having influence over others just in case. Olo answered many questions of the parties. Including revealing a little more about Artix and Ramona Makoff who lived in their house before them and that they were dark of skin. Olo also revealed some locals who could help with the shrines restoration, Hulmer who ran a quarry and Makan who was a mason. Zefkis flirted with Olo and he agreed to see him again sometime.
