''So, last we left off, The Mighty Nein, after foiling the plot of the cult of the Angel of Irons, and its unknown following of Tharizdun, had found themselves uneasily drawn into the throne room of King Dwendal himself. During this time, your involvement with the Kryn Dynasty during this war between the two nations, came to light, and you were asked as part of essentially proving this supposed loyalty that you claim to have to the Empire to reach out on their behalf to negotiate or to convince them to come to some sort of a parlay, a negotiation to possibly bring this war to lesser terms or to an end. You are at your own pace on this, after being assigned under Martinet Ludinus Da'leth, the head of the Cerberus Assembly, who said, "Whenever you want to," but the longer you wait, the more the tension lies behind this temporary ceasefire between the two nations.''

''You had a run-in with Trent Ikithon, confirmed that it seemed they had an additional beacon, that from your research you found seemed to have actually been uncovered out near Pride's Call, and were planning to return this beacon to the Dynasty as part of this negotiation while seemingly keeping one for themselves, possibly. You decided on your break time to make some purchases, make some orders, get a bone flute, order a bone harp, order a jeweled chalice, and get involved in some underground fighting, in which you put some money down. Beauregard beat up an older gentleman. Two paladins went head to head and it did not end in Fjord's favor, and Yasha worked through some physical therapy. Bloodied and sore, your friends picked you up and we left off as you made your way out of the butchery that hides this underground fight pit, made your way back to the inn to wrap up the evening and get some rest to recover and lead to the following day, to whatever your endeavors may be.''
