- Ari and Merry take Alethra on the tour of town, showing her all the wonderful places to see. They go to the main marketplace, see the various shops for weapons, and go see The Opal Moon, and try to get the owner Veronika to make them a dinner reservation at The Gold Room, a dwarf run secret restaurant. Ari and Veronika talk about boot/shoe buckles, with Ari going to wear them to the weekend party, and Veronika working a new few mock ups for the new trend she hopes Ari will create.
- Ari and Merry stop by the clothes shop, The Legacy Design, where Ari gets an appointment for the next day to get a few pieces for the upcoming party.
- Alethra then heads to the University Bookstore and meets Merlen the gnome shop keeper. Merry stays with Alethra and Ari goes off to find Alethra a "smut" book finally discovering an fire elemental/human romance called Fifty Shades of Smoke. Alethra buys a book on Intermediate Potion making and Advance Herbalism, as well as 3 blank notebooks for 60 gold. The Potion Making book offers instruction on a wind potion (to push someone back) and a cold bomb (small area of affect cold damage).
- When Ari returns with the book Alethra is confused and Merry is laughing.
- Roth spent the afternoon writing a report (with mage hand) of the dwarven city, the light tunnels above the city, and how a familiar with special skills could infiltrate the area. There were also pages one the clan stone (make up and spell) and political ramifications of a theft.
- Roth sends Vidalia a message, tell her to bring a scribe, and he has some of the information that she requested. She will meet him at 10 pm and reminds him to return the stone, and she will have everything ready.
- Ari sends a runner to the thieves guild letting them she is available for work/jobs.
- Party has dinner together and enjoys a restful evening at home.
- Except Roth, who invisibly flies to an dark alley way and then knocks and the back door of the guild, and goes to meet with Vidalia. She reads the prepared paperwork, her eyes getting bigger with each page. The scribe then copies all the pages, gets paid and leaves. Roth gets paid 25,000 gold and insight checks Vidalia, who just seems shocked at the information she has received.
- Vidalia and Roth share a drink, at this point it is about 2 am, Roth in a bubble of darkness cast by Olly goes Raven, flies away, and then take 45 mins to get back to the house. Then sleep.
- Roth goes early the next morning to see the Court Wizard, Arannis. He gets to the Duke's Castle and is taken to the tower. Tea is served, and Arannis casts a spell to keep listening ears away, and then continues in Sylvan. There is a rumor of a real dragon, not just a Wyvern, in the swamp to the south west of the dukedom. Due to politics, any official intervention would be very complicated/seen as aggressive action.
- The party could go to the swamp to see their friend, who lives there without question. Lady Marisha could transport and if the issue is too big, a full report would be very helpful. A younger dragon is easier to handle. Black are acid and Green are poison. He can provide potions of resistance to both acid and poison. He will also offer a reward himself, nothing official, and he can get some items the party needs on loan, as well as offering books of various dragon types to study. Roth agrees to bring this to the party and get back to Arannis as soon as possible.
- Ari then goes to try and meet up with Magmabrew in the morning, to be told she is in class, so she goes and buys 2 new dresses, both which show off her shoes and the new jewelry she just got. One dress is coral and and one a bring turquoise. She checked with Annette before hand to confirm the dresses needed.
- After Ari and Roth left, Alethra asked Merry how to get access to the library and classes on various alchemical and potion making things. Merry explains that Roth has access to the library, and since he is not with them, they can try to meet with Magmabrew to get an introduction. They arrive at the University gates to be told Magmabrew is not available until after lunch.
- When Alethra and Merry return from that trip, they find Roth home, who he gives a brief run down on what was offered, and then the 3 spend a few hours reviewing the 2 books on dragons. 1 book is on Metallic dragons, 5 kinds all mainly good with various special types of weapons who can take humanoid form. Gold, Brass, Copper, Silver and Bronze. Alethra makes notes as the book is in elvish. Roth reads the book on Metallic Dragons, learning the 5 kinds, Red, Green, Blue, Black and White, each with a special weapon attack and he focuses on the Green and Black kinds. These are mainly evil and selfish. There is a passing mention of neutral jewel tone dragons, but not much else
- Merry does not get anything, but does learn they hoard treasure and the Metallic may be good to deal with. She does make a nice pot of tea.
- Ari after dress shopping stops by to see Magmabrew and learns she needs to request access to the University Teleportation Circle. Ari fills out a form, which Magmabrew signs as well. Magmabrew sends it to Lady Marisha for her to sign as well, before it is submitted for review. Magmabrew mentions asking the head of the bard college, Sybbyl Oddlander, so Ari sends her a note.
- Ari then goes to Korfel, buys a sending stone and asks her old Bard College Professor if they know Sybbyl Oddlander and if they can put in a good word with her for Ari.
- Ari then comes back to the house and the party fill her in on the job and what they have been asked and what they are researching. The job is now being considered and the party has dinner while discussing the possibilities.
- Roth quietly hands Ari 2000 gold for help with research that never happened.
