Detailed NarrativeMayor Henderson provides intelligence updates: YukYuk wants to demonstrate his machines to the farmers of Southways, the Bernhart bandits are expanding and recruiting with scouts spotted heading to Taver's Place, orc raids continue on the eastern edge near Farhill, and the fey problem on Keller's Road has been escalated with locals offering coin rewards to eradicate fey. Trapper Kane leads the party upriver where they find and engage a band of Bernhart bandits. After the battle, they travel to Taver's Place and interrupt a secret meeting between the Bernharts and Grant Taver. They defeat the remaining bandits and confront Grant, discovering his hidden dealings. Rather than punishing him, they recruit Grant and his family into their service, with Grant taking charge of recruiting and training the town guard and rangers. Wibble Wanderever suggests an expedition to the Hallowlands and mentions Tinkersville. Clarrisa expresses mild concern about a Paladin of Rayne establishing himself in Mellowbank. Rumors spread of a wandering golem resembling YukYuk's and Mac's work (identified as the automaton Aet), and of a new 15-foot-tall orc chieftain at Warstones who empowers himself with the souls of defeated enemies — Gorefist. A rumor of werewolf town guards was adjusted to make them seem ferociously loyal rather than dangerous.
SummaryThe party investigates Bernhart bandit activity and confronts a clandestine meeting between the bandits and Grant Taver at Taver's Place. They defeat the bandits, learn Grant's secret, and recruit him and his family to serve Starfall's growing security apparatus. Multiple regional threats are reported: Bernhart expansion, orc raids, and rumors of a wandering golem and a terrifyingly powerful new orc chieftain at Warstones.
