We approached the council about the next proclamation. This one required some discretion and skill. There was an auction of sorts amongst the monstrous sorts that promised to sell some item of tremendous value. Of primary interest was the fact that the lord of the ruins would be present. Our mission was to put eyes on the lord to get a sense of who and what it was. If we could find a way to prevent the powerful object in question from falling into the wrong hands. Finally, there was a dwarf seeking his 50-years-lost brother. There was some magic doodad that hinted he was still alive, and triangulation put him in or near the plaza.

I did a fly over the plaza to get a sense for the goings on. The center was being cleared out for a platform intended for the auction. It looked like there was going to be quite a crowd.

After landing, we got in touch with Meepo. I sent him a nice kobold dream to inform him that we were interested in meeting up with him. We got some details related to a mysterious green hand terrorizing the monstrous types in the ruins. The initial thought was that perhaps this is the dwarven brother we were in search of, but we didn't have any hard evidence to even confirm the green hand's existence.

My pet wolf then became sick, and I was unable to follow along with the plans for whilst nursing him back to health.
