Summary

• The unrest across the mainland has created chaos and opportunity. Thinking the time is right, Flannery prepares an army to press their claim on the Bloody Thirty-Nine against the Friesans.
• The unsettled state of the Bloody Thirty-Nine due to the impending military action has drawn in adventurers and others who seek advantage and thier fortunes from the conflict. They converge on the city of St. Gynierre in Flannery.
• At the Bottle and Blade tavern in St. Gynierre, a series of customers are approached by a mysterious halfing who offers them a platinum piece and an invitation to meet the halfling at midnight at the intersection of Cressi and Anjou to discuss employment opportunities
• The halfling's attempt at subtlety are interferred with by Uhanimara, who approaches him in the middle of the common room and discusses his offer loudly.
• Following the halfling's depature from the tavern, all of those he approached (with the exception of Uhanimara, who has left the bar) gather to discuss the offer, and decide to see what happens at midnight.
• At midnight, the group waits at the appointed intersection.
• Bandits attack the group, hurling rocks from the shadows and approaching with clubs.
• The group subdues the bandits quickly, knocking two unconcious, while another is gravely wounded by Brunner's Waraxe. Frimble the halfling then warns the remainder to flee, which they do.
