**Notes**:

Bea gives Gen the Fish Necklace of Water Scatting (again?). Gen goes shopping for explosive arrows and Tooey needs to do intake paperwork. Champ gains proficiency in using Gun (his crossbow), and Dircc rides his horse Balderdash. He and Champ do target practice, Champ has so much money??? He gives Greg a handful of platinum and Greg is going to figure out how to pay for Champ's school. If Greg doesn't survive this campaign neither will I. We're at HQ for about a week, does this job pay? It's been almost a year in game and we're approaching harvest time which means it's almost Champ's birthday! Sami learned what hentai is.

We learn what's up with Tooey, sort of. She has a wicker basket on her back with a swaddled sleeping baby inside. She describes it as her charge but it's unclear if it's a job, a child, a patron, or a parasite. It doesn't have a name and also it's not a baby, but it did choose her. We learn that Yen and Wisp finish up in Vasselheim and are headed to Marquet. Journey reveals she's 211 years old and aging slowly for some reason. She recruited us because she knew us since the day she was born, personal history.

We head to the Fletching and Moondrop Circus outside Rexxentrum and Journey tags along, Dircc is totally cool with this and acts completely normal with her around. On the road, Bea notices she's getting thirsty, and it's getting hard to ignore. Tooey takes time to float her theory that Bea is a vampire. Everyone knows and is cool with this, revealing they have some Wumpus branded stakes in their inventories. The gang remembers Yussa lives in Zadash and wants to check in on him, Bea briefly talks them out of it. We walk to Nicodranas and Dircc summons Balderdash for Journey to ride. It's fine, it's not like the rest of us have very short legs and have to keep up. Champ plays in the mud as we go. We arrive in Nicodranas and Bea "goes to the bathroom" to call Yussa. Journey follows her and Bea buys her a drink at the tavern while she waits. Yussa reveals he's not doing well, he's a prisoner in Zadash and doesn't know where Wensforth is. He asks for help, Bea notes this and returns to the group. She pretends to call him in front of everyone and tells the group he's out traveling and won't be home. We go to his tower anyways, Bea was outvoted.

To everyone's complete surprise, his tower looks war torn and abandoned with a large hole in the wall. Champ licks the door again and notes it's still spicy. He finds research notes in Yussa's secret desk compartment on bloodlines and a note dated shortly after our initial visit reading

Yussa has to check in with the local wizard authority, the Cerberus Assembly in Rexxentrum, the leader is Ludinus D'aleth. Matt starts taking Mike Wazowski dick pics. We camp out here for the night and Tooey tells us a scary story (our Halloween one shot about skeleton chores). Dircc casts Dream on Yussa while Gen and Bea have an oddly charged conversation. Yussa dreams of the holding cell he's in and Dircc appears to him as a beautiful angel "Be not afraid" "Dork?" Yussa tells Dircc Wensforth is missing and the Cerberus Assembly was mad at them for their research and they've tried to kill Wario before but doesn't give more details on that. He asks Dircc to break into Cerberus' HQ in Rexxentrum to find and destroy the file on him. He also pointed out that they got his marital history wrong and he wants some things redacted. The dream is all fart no piss and Dircc gives Yussa some dream water since he's thirsty.
