The Order of the Stick returns. The Hutarn said that he didn't think he'd need to move the treasury any time soon. They also deliver to us a hand signed invitation from the HuTarn. Oathar tells them to look him up next time they come back to town to sell stuff.

Haeraan investigates dreams in an attempt to identify people who have his order's rings, (which can cast dream). Eventually he casts dreams himself:

Are people with his orders artifacts around: "He sees a tree with birds nesting in the tree. Sparrows and robins and cardinals and a big black crow down near the bottom. More birds and another big black crow. Every so often there's a big black crow, like half a dozen total. Up top there is an eagle at the top of the tree. Near the eagle is a large big black crow."

Do they know about him: "Wandering around the travelling cavalcade of wonder. Wandering into a tent is a hall of mirrors. All these people are wandering around in the hall. He sees images of different people. Lot's of people wander around. Some of them come around and stare at him, others walk away... But it's not clear if they are real or not."

How corrupt are they: "Creepy. An image of a body lying on the ground. Underneath it are squirming things. This dream is not OK."

The mutual fund buys the Smiling Mermaid and Oathar is shocked to discover (after the fact) that it's actually a secret brothel. Many party negotiations later, we decide to keep the place, thought Haeraan's part of the profits go to an orphanage.

We hear that several ships have tried making the run to Zinvar now that Oathar's ship made it. Gah. Oathar tries to tell everyone it's totally dangerous. Even he won't go there.

The wicked witch of the swamp of Norek (Imre-mom) has claimed her 1000th victim.

The Emporer of Rakhan's birthday is in two weeks.

Oathar investigates various accounting practices...

Imre has all of the safes and secret panels in the house moved around now that we're not being spied upon.

Kyrik decides to go check out the Smoke and Mirrors to see if they really do have one of the fabled wind flutes of Foleenn.

En route to the shop, Haeraan detects a member of his order via his ring. A large comedy of errors later, the person eludes us before we can identify him.

Arriving at the shop, we find it is run by a Loar alchemist. He sells lot's of great stuff. Imre talks around him for a while until he tells us about the flute. It's apparently a navigational aid. Imre confirms it is indeed a Wind Flute of Folenn and we buy it for 1500 gold.

We prepare for a major trip to Folenn. Kyrik briefs us on the many dangers of Folenn. Oathar wonders where the riches night be for the continent.
