===== Pixie Search Drones =====

We assessed our 3 priorities and decided that with a week left, our best bet was to find this green hand.  Not only would other info about the auction fall out as we searched, it'd provide us allies if we found it. 

Our first foray was at a bar.  We got into a scuffle with some hobgoblins over a table.  The goal was to impress them but I fear we turned them into enemies.  It looked as if the green hand was an urban legend to the denizens of this quarter.  Retreating, we launched a volley of pixies to invisibly reconnoiter for us.

We got back a bit of info, but nothing major.  The former temple nearby was brimming with some sort of energy.  There were little spikes all over that resonated similarly.  We investigated one of those and uncovered some golden eyed humanoids.  These appear to be the secret (or not so-) police of the Lord of the Ruins.  Noted.  We then changed quadrants to where we felt the missing dwarf might be.

Another volley of pixies later uncovered a painted green hand not more than a week old, and a gnome.  Interesting.  We went to where the gnome was and began to dig around.  After communing with the spirits of the land, our trail to the dwarf once again crossed this gnome.  With that in mind, we went to meet her.  She gave us an address.  An old bar with a secret door in an ale keg.  Opening it, we descended into the depths of the city
