Title: "When Personal History and Party Business Intersect"
Text:"On the 24th of Mitu, sometime had passed since Xedran was electrocuted by the secondary door to the Thieves Guild, he found himself in a cell with only the clothes on his body. He waited in the dark cell by himself for a bit before hearing two people having a slight disagreement down the hall, then the jingle of keys as they came to his cell. The guard with keys opened the door at the insistence of the other man, who Xed discovered was Barlow. Barlow led Xedran to get his things (where he recovered all but his coin) and then to the mess hall to find a man they called \"Crazy Eyes\".

Per Barlow, Crazy Eyes is an associate of the person that likely killed Drick and would be the most likely to know where the piece of the Copper Shield went. After the initial greetings, Crazy Eyes asked Xed what could be given in exchange for the information sought. After Xedran contemplated his freshly empty wallet, he took CE's offer for a potential smuggling job in the future for the information. With that, CE led Xedran to his room where he had some records of who treasures were sold to. He informed Xedran that the artifact was sold to a noble in the town of Destra, a town to the south of Kuridu. Based on the descriptions given, Xedran was confident the noble is Grestia Weshan, a Cloud Elf he had the displeasure of meeting previously, a meeting that neither would likely forget due to Weshan losing a finger and Xedran gaining an accessory. 

After receiving the information, Xedran left the Thieves Guild to find the rest of the party (Dheir, Saxon+Kit, and Cassian). They spent this time at the Pour Judgment where Saxon drank and Dheir got Cassian to help with her Elvish. Eventually, Xedran found them and explained all he learned at the guild. The party then began to hash out the details of how they would get to Destra, ways they may get the the artifact back, as well as who they may reach out to for more information. They decide to head to Flest, as he is a noble as well and would likely have some idea of what they may encounter. 

Their discussions with Xedran at the tavern and Flest in his home allowed the party to learn a few things about Weshan and Dresta:
- The town is pretty much owned by Grestia Weshan, as they decided to \"experience the frontier\", basically creating a company town where the majority that live and work there work for him.
- Weshan's family is from Alathel and are generally considered good folk compared to Grestia. 
- The only people that seem to like living in Destra are those that make up the town's militia. 
- Weshan is unlikely to willing part with the artifact, and the party will likely need to get it back without his approval/knowledge. 

The party then went and rested for the night, spending most of the day of the 25th of Mitu doing there own thing, as they agreed to wait for Dheir to have her fight before heading out to Destra for the artifact and to check the magical mud for nesting giant crocodiles."
