Episode 52: After emerging from the Jaonos Wood, the six travelers reach the mining community of Kilcross, a place Mother Tassa has visited before, and where both Aribell and S'Kuthos have family they wish to avoid. After checking into the Giant's Pickaxe, and learning that a regionally-renowned bard will be performing there that night, it's a quick trip to buy cold-weather supplies for their trek into the Trezzahn Mountains. They return to the Pickaxe and listen to the halfling bard, Reynard D'Kagnon, perform, including a tune absolutely skewering Zagrin Strafsoman, the son of the lord of that lawless town. Everyone loves the tune... well... almost everyone, and the Four decide to protect D'Kagnon from a well-armed group of critics they rightly suspect to be laying in wait for his exit from the tavern!
