Contract

The party arrived at Castle Embrea and met both the Duke and the Triskelion. Benji Pickletoes insulted Embren's soldiers before Eliana Verdon interrupted the conversation to present the first job: A Matter of Order.

Arrival and Scrutiny

The party headed to Hargen and were met with slamming shutters and locked doors. Flop scared the town drunk and learned that "grain" is important to Hargen. Filled with righteous motivations: taxes and intimidation, the party headed straight to the city hall where they intimidated the secretary into a tense meeting with Mayor Osonia that quickly devolved into Sprocket throwing the woman over his shoulder and Flop tying up the secretary. The party removed both city employees from the town hall after discovering that there is a monstrous threat in the mill stagnating the town economy.

Protectors

Making their way to the mill, the party encountered the self appointed protectors of the town. The denizens of Hargen expressed the unwanted attention from the Triskelion, having the mayor over their shoulder and another citizen being led like a prisoner, there was no recourse. The protectors began fighting, sternly stating "You will leave." Hargen quickly learned the power of magic as swords and maces were swung to little avail and Val Verhen thunderous power launched one of the toughs across the road through a door, after which Sprocket killed the townsmen inciting the fight. The last Tough tried to surrender, but the party too knocked him unconcious.

Disguised Depository

Before entering the mill the agents of the Triskelion negotiated through the Mayor's fear of the mill and brought her in with them. Inside, they discovered a corpse at in the workshop. Adhered to the remnants of a chest with a crushed torso, the corpse was patiently watching over a magical broom and two potions of healing. Finding bite marks in the worktables, the tax collectors made their way upstairs to the mechanism. Met with a dust covered room full of containers. A chest was thrown down the stairs, breaking many of them and restricting the only way out of the mill. Val Verhen used mage hand to investigate a journal on the center table, safely revealing a juvenile mimic, which Benji Pickletoes quickly dispatched. Angered by the child's death, the chest mimic began its assault. Flip flopped down the stairs, breaking another two, and utilized his brand new broom to make the jump back up. After easily killing the mimic, Osonia bestowed a reward upon the party, in spite of a citizen's death, which Benji Pickletoes seemed duty bound to use as payment for the lapse in taxes.
