The party wakes after being lodged in an inn for the night by Mike. Berkley the gnome tends the bar at this inn's lower-floor tavern. Mike sends the party on a quest to go to a castle which used to belong to an Aasimar, and recover his lost amulet. He tells them that any other treasure they find is theirs to keep. He also gives them two Potions of Healing each, a wagon (with a horse), and a map.

While on the way, as Kodak and Guin are about to impale each other in a weapons practice while on a moving vehicle, one of the wheels breaks, stopping the wagon. At this point, three Elven bandits who were hiding in the bushes attack the group. When the elves realize that they've been beaten, they retreat. Guin gives chase, but they all escape, leaving only a javelin behind.

Nike ends up having to push the wagon to the nearest town, Palasain, a town made up mostly of elves. There they go to the stable and meet Concord Goodman (and his apprentice Kill-Sin), who agrees to fix their cart overnight.

Guin goes to the inn, demanding that the residents identify the owner of the javelin left by the bandits, but none of them seem to know anything about it. The innkeeper sets Nike up with a room in exchange for a promise to get the local kids to stop drawing graffiti on the inn's walls. They go the the kids' usual hangout, the graveyard, there they find Steadfast Wigglesworth telling off the teens for disrespecting the graveyard. Kodak and Nike chase off the kids.

Nike then leads the party to the brothel. In the front they meet Forsaken Noise, who asks them to find her employee Sorry-for-Sin Love. Guin "searches" the tavern, Kodak the church, and Nike the stable. Nike ends up finding her, having a fling with Kill-Sin. He advises her to at least tell Forsaken if she wants to quit her job, rather than disappearing and worrying people.

Nike and Kodak sleep in the inn, but Guin opts to sleep on a bench in the graveyard.
