Prologue

🏹 Ehsan: OneTusk makes it back to Hugo’s estate where I am currently discussing with Basharaat my duties and adventures in this land. The task seems to be completed to Basharaat’s satisfaction, though is of course saddened to find out the fate of Mandro. She is unaware of what is within the vials the guild has made, but Ildefons takes the one vial addressed to Iosif Kettleblack to the prison to be dealt with appropriately.

Another Party Night at the Le Roux Estate

🏹 Ehsan: Basharaat goes to mingle with the rest of the party and I keep to the edges to oversee some of the “security”. Orion approaches me after a while, encouraging me to officially take my part within the Royal Pride. It has been a bit over a year now since I’ve settled within Lisway, it probably is time for me to officially file my papers. At least I know that Orion will be able to pull some strings to make the process go a bit more smoothly than before.

The Summit on the "Famine" Continues

Over the course of the last several days the Guildmasters have talked about what they are hesitating to call the upcoming famine.
It turns out that agricultural production is unusually low this year. Guildmaster Primus Evette Lussier of the Mercers confirms that this is true throughout all the whole continent of Hallbeirge, though the country of Arkstone is more impacted than most.
Guildmaster Secundus Orion Pandis of the Salters admits that it would seem that Arkstone has chosen the wrong year to over-invest in new technologies for farming. Several spectacular failures have compounded the food production problem.
The slowing of trade has Guildmaster Tertius Bashaarat al-Faheed of the Basketmakers concerned and she is here to invest in a plan that will help save the people. Her contacts say that usually buying food from Condrol has been an option, however the Condrol have found new markets in Kirkush and Eben, and Arkstone would doesn’t have the coin to match.

Request from Guildmaster Primus Clément Cailler

🏹 Ehsan: Agricultural production is unusually low this year. Arkstone is being impacting more than most. Usually they would purchase from Condrol but they’ve found better markets in other countries. Cailler requests for us to go investigate the growth of a fast growing, poisonous plant of some kind that recently started growing in a region outside the city. If the fruits of this plant were to be distributed among the people the damage and casualties could be significant, so it would be best to go deal with this sooner rather than later.

Bear Creek Farm

Bear Creek Farm is a several hour ride by rickshaw drawn by a Wildbloods of Burden (four horse-sized pigs). This community is known mostly for growing a variety of fruits and is a favored area of the bakers and pastry makers in the city of Lisway. The farm is actually a collection of about a dozen family farms that have pulled their interests together and incorporated themselves for more advantage in the city market.

🎲 DM: Jean Gavreau and his family were the ones who died.
