Everhearth

A distant town in the eastern reaches of Bol. What used to be a bustling mining town located in the Thousand Peak Mountains, the town seems on the brink of obscurity. Something must have happened to take this town which caused Bol to seemingly abandon it. Still having a few small homes and a tavern, Everhearth is determined to not fade into oblivion. They often put out ads for miners or adventures to brave the mountains for the surely untold riches within. The town Mayor is a humble man by the name of Avoq, who can usually be found telling stories and rousing the town in the Tavern.

## Missons

* Dave, Juice, James, and Jeff were tasked with taking Qorn the child wizard to Everhearth to enchant a dagger, than bring him back to Shipton. James went in disguise as "Hilda", with Lobster Jones as her swaddled baby, due to a massive manhunt to capture James for his butterfly-kidnapping crimes. The party found Rearton newly populated with lots of ships from foreign areas, the previously disappeared rogue population seemingly forgotten. On the way to the wormway they found that Professor Trilmer's home had been repaired and taken over by new gnome residents, and that they were being watched and followed by two different people than last time. One had a weird interaction with Jeff over some potatoes as he seemed to be posing as a potato vendor, while the other followed them on foot to the wormway, but seemed to stop following them there. The R guy gave them a coin to "take for their travels" but warned them not to touch it, and requested a stone from the mountain. Qorn paid for the wormway trip, and the party stopped in Sporehaven and Tome Spire briefly. In Sporehaven, Tome let us know that his brother Avaq lives in Everhearth and to say hi, and the guards let us know that the Deepmire rat problem had been resolved. Jeff is invited to join the Bol Security Force. They stop in Tome Spire but do not explore, and then in Everhearth they find Avaq at a tavern for some information on the mines. He let them know they were once very profitable for the town, but were overrun with Kobolds. Some Artificers came and did something, but it's unclear if they were successful in whatever they did as they didn't emote about it on the way out, but Avaq seemed to think they didn't find what they were looking for. On the way to the mines they encounter another Fuzz Hut, and stock up on some new flavors. Qorn takes a yellow fuzz and makes canary sounds for the entire mission. While in the mines, we find that the signs are written in Goblin and warn of Kobolds. At one point the group is followed by a kobold from a distance, but are allowed to find the ore in the mountain that Qorn is looking for. Qorn completes the enchantment but something weird is woken up and attacks, made out of fire but also slime. Too strong for the party to fight directly, they instead ran out and fought Kobolds that tried to block them and start fires to make the creature even larger and stronger. Finally the party emerges towards the exit, but a giant blue ice toad blocks their way and knocks James out. Before having to engage with the creature, it spots the flame weird monster and crashes into it, causing them both to destroy each other. Jeff collects some icy hot rocks produced from their dead bodies, and the group ski/snowboard/sled down to Everhearth. They get back to Rearton, and Jeff gives the R guy the rocks, and Qorn turns it into an icy hot stone spider. This seems to be what the R guy wanted, so he gives Jeff a choice of rewards and Jeff gets a wooden box with a sticky ring inside. They get back to Shipton safely.
