Chapter 5: Mighty ASSes & Affable Douches

  Following the eventful morning confrontation against Banders, the trio finished packing up their camp, although there were some misgivings about not being able to deliver the Potion of Regeneration to Drux for Kitty. Deciding that the potion would come of use later, they decided to proceed toward Maplemoor.   While journeying toward the city, the party heard something crashing through the trees toward them. After a moment, it was revealed to be Drux, who had abandoned the Gangiang Clan in order to help Kitty. Handing over the potion, everyone watched in rapt fascination to see if the Potion of Regeneration would work. After a moment, Kitty's malformed leg began to heal, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. To help Drux and Kitty find their feet, Brooklyn gave the goblin a letter, with the instruction to go to Loftumbria City in Dryntha and find Zolk.   Proceeding on toward Maplemoor, the party at last needed to stop for the night. Along the road they found a campsite owned by a half-elf named Albie the Affable. He invited them to join his camp and shared some insights about the city. After some pleasant chit-chat, however, he very politely requested that the party hand over half their gold lest he and his bandits kill them. Torcanimir and Indra immediately leapt into action, and a hectic battle waged. After Albie's head was exploded from one of Indra's new magic arrows, the bandits ceded the field to them and surrendered their weapons before melting away into the night. The party then claimed the handcart of weaponry that Albie the Affable had on hand.   After taking over the campsite, the party settled in for the night, with Torcanimir grumbling about trusting an elf. After a bit, Brooklyn was once more confronted about what happened in the Gangiang Clan with Geil'azi. Feeling self-conscious, Brooklyn left the conversation but continued to listen in through Eden as Torcanimir and Indra talked about the volatile nature of Brooklyn. Indra opened up some about her background a little bit, explaining how she'd been part of a mercenary organization which she left after harsh words for the leaders (namely that he was a "racist prick"). During the conversation, Torcanimir also shared some of the insights that his divinity, Denflore, had shared some insights regarding the party, revealing that there was some trauma in Brooklyn's past. When asked if the info was trustworthy, Torcanimir confirmed that he trusts her implicitly, and the rest of the team eventually settled in for the night.   During their next day's travel, the party were suddenly hailed by a difficult to understand voice. After some struggling, they learned that the voice was asking if they had any gold. When they said no, the voice told them to bugger off. Looking back, they realized it was a kobold with a sign on their cart that said "Kaylee's Goods".   Arriving on the outskirts of Maplemoor, the party were stopped at the gates by the guards, one of which - a dwarf with a thick accent - took an interest in what they were carting in. Recognizing the goods as what were stolen from Maplemoor the previous night, he directed the party toward the town hall under the watchful gaze of another guard, the halfling Jorik. As they walked through the city, Jorik pointed out a few key elements of town to everyone, then guided them into the town hall. Inside, the party met with Estienne Tallbrook, who accepted the returned goods and dismissed them.   Receiving directions to the local Acquisitor's Adventure Association branch, the party moved on that way and met the comptroller, Kulnick Ironarm. After welcoming htem to his branch, Kulnick set them up with the "Lanyard Protocol", a sort of stream of consciousness interrogation to see if anyone was a psychopathic murder hobo.
