Inspired Incompetence

Fresh off their epic battle of storytelling and a much-needed night's rest, the party finally makes their way into the Court of Ether proper. But before they can get too comfortable, they run into a familiar face: Interhoff! And wouldn't you know it, he's got a job for them. Apparently, the party has been "voluntold" to help track down someone known as the Redcap Killer. Who is this mysterious killer? What have they done? And more importantly, when did the party agree to any of this?

This week, the party makes a stop at the Bottom Feeder Inn, where they quickly discover that the Court of Ether has no shortage of strange and interesting characters. But what could a leprechaun, a bar owner, and a group of adventurers possibly have in common? As it turns out, a good drink isn’t the only thing that brings people together—they all share a love for a good story. So pull up a chair, grab a drink, and let’s see what tales the Bottom Feeder has to offer.

This week, the party goes all in on their Sleight of Hand skills, putting quick fingers and questionable judgment to the test. It’s a gamble that could pay off big—or leave them wishing they’d kept their hands to themselves. Will they walk away with their pockets full, or will they find themselves emptying their wallets once again?

This week, with Jirelga’s expert guidance leading the way, the party ventures into—and across—the Endless Gulf on their journey toward the Court of Ether. But the Darklands always seem to have a surprise waiting around every corner. Speaking of surprises... what’s all this white stuff covering the ground? Snow? Dust? Nope. Bat guano. Lots and lots of bat guano.
