Title: A Blossoming Investigation
Text: "On the 21st of Mitu, after burning poor Drick's body, the party (consisting of Dheir, Xedran, Cassian, Saxon+Kit) discussed where to find someone to decode the letter or if someone would recognize the coin. Some options discussed included randomly talking to people at bars, finding someone within the guild, Cass even inquired if anyone else in the party had connections to the seedy underbelly of Kuridu (no one admitted to it), or possibly if Flest knew anything (but of course he nor his housekeeper were not home when they attempted to talk to him). After this discussion, Dheir and Saxon+Kit went to the Pour Judgement to look into the next fight club night, with Dheir determined not to miss it this time. Meanwhile, Xedran and Cassian went to find Xed some new boots to goof in. Afterwards, Xed and Cass went to bed in the guild while Dheir and Saxon (mostly Dheir) got hammered at the bar. Saxon managed to stay sober enough to sleep outside but Dheir passed out at the table in the bar. The party rested the night away without issues and even leveled up to 6! 

  In the morning of the 22nd of Mitu, Cass ritual casted Detect Poison and Disease on the vial of Drick's thick coagulated blood, discovering it has traces of the very potent and highly deadly Haeven's Blossom. A dose of which can slowly kill the victim in a way that makes them appear sleepy and drunk. He then went to the local apothecary Bob's Big Boutique of Beautiful Botanicals to ask if the plant was found locally or if they knew about a supply of it nearby. The shopkeep informed them it was highly illegal and wouldn't be found in a store such as that, only through smuggling or traveling across the continent to harvest yourself. Cassian thanked them for the information and purchased some healing herbs for potion brewing. He then left, expending some spells to cast :spell,Locate Object: attempting to find the Copper Shield, hoping it was just hiding in a local storage building near the market or at the docks. Finding nothing, he made his way back to the guild.

  Dheir woke up from their drunken sleep and headed towards the guild, where they glanced around for a rougher looking character, ending up asking Scruffy the Janitor about the coded message. Scruffy told her to take the coded letter, written in thieves cant, to Amondurap. The Thieves Guild will often make attempts to get guild property so anything involving them must be reported. Once Dheir talks to Amondurap, she mentions bringing the letter to Aelicel and that Dheir should return in the afternoon. Afterwards the party convened in the guild hall, with Cass and Dheir passing along the information each gained. 

  Cassian then decided to go to the pond that Sast fished at to brew potions with the herbs they purchased and gathered, with the rest all agreeing to go with. Dheir used the time walking and some of the time at the pond studying their language book. Xedran of course used the walk to the pond to practice his murder jokes on the local fauna, much to the enjoyment of Kit and slight annoyment of Cassian. Once at the pond, Cassian begins his brew. Eventually it begins to rain and Dheir and Xedran decide to head back to town to talk to Amondurap. Saxon and Kit stayed at the pond while Cassian finished his brewing.

  Back at the Guild, Xed and Dheir met with Aelicel, where she told them to infiltrate the Thieves Guild to locate the stolen object and find out more information on them. Cassian and Saxon+Kit returned to the city, being informed that the group will meet a guy who occasionally works of the Thieves Guild in the morning. The party discussed the meeting prior to going to bed, deciding that they would all just go and wait in the bar for him to come to us. Cassian though decided it might be best not to show their full hand and would be part of the meeting through the many eyes of a spider. They then rested for the night.

  On the morning of the 23rd of Mitu, the party all went to the Pour Judgement, the Star Spirit Spider holding on to Xedran as they entered. Cassian took a spot outside the bar not really paying much attention to the items near him. As the main group settled into a booth, eventually a man who introduced themselves as Barlow came up to them. They all began to discuss ways to get into the guild, with the main plan to get in being taking a batch of Haeven's Blossom that Barlow offered to the group for them to take out a member of the Thieves Guild known as the Squirrel. They have started to reach the ends of their goodwill, and we could claim he recruited the party before they died (aka we kill them). As they started to get into that conversation, Cassian's attention got pulled away from the spider and to an old man who's friend hadn't shown up. Cassian of course was unable to do anything but agree to entertain the old guy."
