Started at the outskirts of Ash. Kexyl just rolls on in, but tips the guard a copper for the rundown on the city. On way to Silver Hall, group comes across Mayor Broderick giving a speech to placate the city after the mass fading during the Lady Sahsa concert. Group made it to Silver Hall, went into the bar area, got three silver meads from Chay. Went into main room, Kexyl loudly asked the elven bard at the piano where Lady Sahsa was holding a music contest. She gestures but on the way there they are met by Ash Lawrence. He gives them the run down about the town. Kexyl is annoyed he was not recognized as either royalty or slayer of the sothmarsh. Group enters west hall and finds Lady Sasha. Rel and Kexyl signed up as a duo. Lux met with the bartender and got a free round of drinks. Gnome musicians drum and throat singing act gets no applause. Half Orc musician takes stage. Rel bets a scoffing high society guy 10 gold that the orc is good. Half orc is like Andy Williams/Casey Kaseum smooth rich voice. Rel wins bet. Rel and Kex take the stage. Lux is approached by a man who claims he recognizes Lux. Lux bets that Rel and Kex will win the contest. (He wins) Rel and Kex start off okay, then Kex decided to frog sing and things take off. They stumble a little, but then Rel starts to jam through the crowd. Kex jumps on top of Rel, wowing the crowd. They kill the ending of the tune and win the show. 10 GP each and Kex gets a set of strings (auto tuning strings, +2 to bard, and his instrument is always full repair) Lady Sahsa closes out the show. Group talks to Sasha about the mass fade at the Marsh Ampetheatre. She was singing about the ash tree cursed by a warlock to always burn the roots. The screams of the mass fading haunt her. Ash Lawrence commends group and offers help if needed.

Group leaves Silver Hall, down a side street and are accosted by 3 thieves. After a tough fight, they emerge victorious. Group returns to berate guard who sent them down that path. Make it to Oaken Oar and wow are there some people there. Grab a drink from bartender and are then healed by Hawkwind. Hawkwind is a white dragon in human form, and is also the Seer they have been sent to see. After some discussion with Hawkwind that attracts too much attention, the group agrees to meet on Hawkwinds island the next day. Keyxly sees a man in metal and bark armor, and buys him a beer. Heath, who was supposed to have an australian accent, tells them he’s a barktender, who makes bark armor. He wont commission a suit without getting something in return. He tells the group of a grove near his home that are rotting from the inside out. He implies the trees are fading from the inside out. Group leaves to go to the Nether Cyclone in search of Gladius. Its a super rough place. He’s there, meets with group. Takes the note from Bua, is informed that Roger Plibbins was dug up by the group. Agrees to read the dragon book. Its the diary of Xorn, father of Athenish. Ask group for favor to eliminate some cultist nearby. Group says they’ll look into it, and crashes on the couches.
