Nothing, not really as this is a one shot.

Part I
Vex leads Trinket (played by Matthew Mercer ) away from the town to the edge of the Briarwood as the festival is about to begin and he isn't allowed there due to his honey stealing proclivity. Once Vex leaves he meets up with:



Peddy Tuxpin - A panda (Muscle)

Waffle - A sun bear (Hacker)

Cookie - A sun bear (Brains)

Liam Las Vegas - A honey badger (Driver)  After a brief discussion, the group decide to steal the honey from the festival and for this they will need disguises. Liam's Las Vegas (the honey badger) steals some hats from a passing hat salesman and they use these to be able to enter the town undetected. Once inside the town, the group are unable to immediately locate the stockpile of honey. They also see and old couple who are looking for their lost cows, as well as Pike wandering around offering samples of honey to festival goers. They are dissuaded from attacking her by Trinket, who is fully aware of how badly such an attack would go for them.

Then they happen upon Reginald's daughter, Amelia who is offering free samples of her competition honey. Trinket accepts some and passes it to Waffle and Cookie, so they can use it to track to the source. It is now that they notice the third and final entrant into the honey competition, Victor, the Black Powder Merchant. Trinket recognises that his honey has black powder in it. At this point, a carnival barker announces the arrival of the Fire Ashari Cultural Dance Troupe. Trinket realises the danger of fire being so close to Victor's honey and scares the crowd away causing chaos. Now is when he also pinpoints the source of the honey, which is the Sun Kissed Tavern and sends the group to it to case the joint.

Part II
Cookie led the gang to the Sun Kissed Tavern, but they had to stop briefly on the way as the cart that Liam was pulling had a loud, squeaky wheel. Cookie solved the problem by urinating on the wheel.

They also heard the cries of the person who had discovered the Jameson's lost cows, just before they arrived at the tavern.

After a brief discussion, Cookie noticed a protruding pipe near the front door, so Waffle "hacked the main frame", which led him to discover a small alley that wnet in the direction they needed to get closer to the secure honey storage room. Peddy wanted to start a fire in the foyer as a distraction, but he was persuaded not to by Trinket.

After sneaking into the alley they discovered a nondescript, iron door which was partially open. There was a minor argument about the pros and cons of veganism as Peddy half-heartedly tried to convince the group to forget the honey and join him in the joys of bamboo.

Deciding that the open door was a trap, Liam instead attempted to climb an external pipe up to the second floor, but he kept sliding back down, getting quite irritated with the other members of the group who were ragging on him for his failure to get up the pipe.

Peddy hit his stick on the ground which caused an oak tree to instantly grow allowing Liam to reach a second floor balcony, once he was up, he urinated on the others. Then they lay in wait for the head of security who was stationed in one of the suites, so Liam could teabag him.

Trinket knocked on the door where the security head was sat in front of a bank of scrying mirrors, Trinket tried to trick him by pretending to be a door-to-door preacher. The gurd of course wasn't fooled and just assumed that the bears were rabid and were about to attack him. Peddy surprised the guard by slamming the door into his face just as Liam leapt on his back in order to try and tear his throat out, however the guard fought back and slammed Liam into the wall. Waffle joined in the attack, but Trinket warned the gang that the guard wasn't to be killed.

The commotion raised the suspicions of other guards, but the bears managed to trick them so they stayed away. Trinket also intimidated the head of security
