## Summary

The party was walking the streets of Celadon, enjoying the attention they received for their newly acquired fame when Aster and Aleria noticed two figures following them. Aleria had Raxis sneak around and tail the large cloaked figure and Aster *tried* to stealthily keep eyes in the sky on the regular-sized humanoid. Raxis pulled the cloak off of the large hulking figure to reveal an exceptionally ugly fomorian. The commotion caused the other figure, a gith, to spring into action. Calling out to the party, the gith said, "Champions relinquish your prize!" Then the fight broke out. Most of the party focused their efforts on the fomorian and doing their best to keep people out of harm's way. Aleria wanted to 1v1 the gith, but Aster lost control at the smell of his blood and started attacking him and the flying vipers he summoned. One of the market-goers came out to fight alongside the party and revealed themselves to be a human barbarian. In his rage, he accidentally conjured some exploding flumphs who would've killed some civilians if it wasn't for Arco's mass healing word. After the fight was over with the gith decapitated and the fomorian skewered, the party helped clean up the area. They offered some coin to the merchants whose stalls were most damaged in the fight. The party then introduced themselves to the civilian in chainmail who fought alongside them and learned his name was Cedric and he used to work for the Solemn Crane Company. Cedric was looking for some sign as to what to do next, so he accepted the party's offer to join them on their adventures in the city.

From the gith, the party took its plate armor, silver greatsword, cloak, pouch of jewels (3,000gp worth), and a small transparent crystal know as minstrel's meteorite. Aleria also took its head so the party could cast speak with dead later. The fomorian had a small pouch of dried meat, shiny rocks, and 500cp, which the latter Arco divided among the merchants. Aster also took the fomorian's magic laser eye in hopes Caliban can utilize it. The party made their way back to The Gilded Horizon inn in the third ward with their new companion to discuss what their next plan of action was.

### Option 1

Murder Caspian, a tall, slender, half-drow man who owes Clove money from the Golden Lotus Trial bets. Caspian can often be found wearing nice clothes in the thieves ward of Celadon. Glove wants Caspian's dead body to be displayed publicly as a warning to others when you don't fulfill your debts to The Brotherhood of the Left Hand. The actual murdering does not (and should not) be done publicly. Clove will pay us 40,000gp for the completion of this task.

### Option 2

Speak with Saint Ataraxia and ask permission to interrogate Kavra about her knowledge of why Carrow's wanted the Golden Elixir and see what Kavra knows about his source of magics.

### Option 3

Seek out Praetor Tuvak Ruadon and hear his offer for the Golden Elixir (see *Mysterious Note 2* from C3Ep31). He is the father of Raxis's slave master, so he appears to be offering Raxis's full freedom in exchange for the elixir. Probably want Raxis with us, but must be ready to protect him if things go south.
