Jhank leads Floki, Thronor, Sir Parrik, Benji and Caradoc as they invite Yulia Bronzevow and Nastasia Tinspike for a peace summit and Gorya's funeral. Thereafter, the party sets out through the mountains towards Sootscale Caverns, discovering a windy agate mine and a stone circle used by Talos druids along the way. They are attacked by owlbears and gnolls, but make their way to the kobold caverns where they discover that strange fey-related plants are being used by the Sootscales and the problem is probably getting worse.
