3rd Month (The Gale), days 17 through 27

After learning where Lyte resides, the PCs made for his villa in order to make him answer for the caravan attack. Two members of the party successfully moved into the access way of the house using stealth. The other three party members moved forward to confront the guards.

After an attempted parley with the guards, the two hidden within the villa attempted to sneak into the house only to find three guards on the inside. A melee proceeded between the guards and the PCs. The PCs were successful in defeating the guards, and thus, proceeded into the manor.

Once inside, they confronted the elite guard Kegus and one more guard before forcing Lyte to surrender (after the last of the guards fell). Lyte was handed over to the Silver Tree Witchdom and the PCs returned to breezeway.

Once resupplied, they headed north towards the village of 3rd Moon which was consumed by the wilderness during the feral age more than 500 years ago. Before arriving, they met a Plant Folk Druid named Antigonon (or "Thatch"). He warned the PCs that dangerous plant life had been seen in 3rd Moon and that caution should be observed. He also warned the PCs that not all plant life in the village was to be destroyed.

The PCs moved on to explore the village. While there, they met some Leaf Leshies in the Brandy House (a "bed and breakfast"), but avoided combat. However, they also ran across some Yellow usk Zombies, and eventually, the Yellow Musk Creeper itself. They managed to defeat them and pacify the town. They also found an item known as the "Mask of Fools" (see below). It had an inscription on the inside of the mask (written in Eruben)...

They laugh and they smile, entertained for a while,

As you sing and you dance for the crowd;

Make them feel, make them cry, with a wink of your eye,

Hear the cheers from the patrons grow loud;

Act the role, play your part, use your skill, use your art,

On this stage you can make all o' the rules;

They laugh and they smile, entertained for a while,

It's your time on the Stage of Fools.

The PCs are now going to make their way to Nix with a shipment of goods offered by Keyvoos, a merchant from the Trakias Wolf Trade Emporium. They are to meet a man named Bayari Dashaa at a specified location.
