Lonesome Wanderings, Session 6

In which Badger...

• Wakes up with no memory in a strange city, with a sore butt and tattoo of his former retainer Spindle on his ass.
• Helps Mindblade exile Tara flee from the Mindblade Order hunting her, led by one Chala, by fleeing to the Bazaar of the city.
• Helps two merchants solve a trade confusion that has their logisticians chalking up the streets and clogging up the Bazaar at a major intersection.
• Is joined by Maira the elven mage and Burt the dwarven fighter from Treble Cliff near the Pit.
• Is also joined by Bulb the human mage and Strixhaven academy dropout.
• Tells Tara to hide out in the Bazaar and decides to return to Kebi village with his new companions Maira, Burt, and Bulb, to set out exploring the wilds once more.
• Explores the wilds and comes across the Gold dragon Teru, who is on the hunt for an Ettin terrorizing the countryside. He and the party agree to help Teru by keeping an eye out for the Ettin.
• Encounters said Ettin in the wilds, who tries to trick the party to come as guests to his master's residence; they trick the Ettin to report back to his master to clear up some doubts and then flee.
• Catches former pink turban bandit Blaxton - on hard times and desperate - stealing from their camp at night, and tie him up when he surrenders.
• Get cornered by an irritated Ettin and his master - Badger's ex-retainer Spindle - but are helped by Teru who fights the Ettin as the party deal with Spindle. Unfortunately Bulb dies in combat. 
• Defeat the Ettin with Teru's help, who then thanks the party but they are on their own with Spindle, though he will assist them in the future if the need arises.
• Fail to capture Spindle, who also unties Blaxton and flees with him into the wilds.
• Get tracked down by Spindle and Blaxton who have recruited what are left of Spindle's forces and the Pink Turbans into a makeshift bandit troupe to hunt down Badger and his allies.
• Defeat Spindle and Blaxton, along with the bandit troupe, only for Spindle to flee again while Blaxton is caught and tied up once more.
• Return back to Kebi to recruit halfling thief Valia to replace the deceased Bulb, and interrogate Blaxton to reveal the Spindle's bandit troupe hideout.
• Use Blaxton to locate Spindle's lair, which is abandoned by the ex-retainer, and loot the bandit troupe's goods for all they are worth.
• Head back to Kebi village, deposit Blaxton in the Kebi town hold, and split up the loot they collected from their adventures.
