• Enters the keep to investigate the mysterious occurrences, with Tino's Toughest.
• Discovers an ogre guarding a gate that attacks the party, downing one of Tino's Toughest.
• Defeats the ogre, revealing it to be twelve goblins dressed in ogre skin guarding the gate.
• Enters and run into the Orc Siblings in the keep, who are working on entering a room in the keep.
• Lures some boars from another room to smash down the door, revealing a treasure room with a Magic Stone of Charming Dance, as well as other treasures.

• Returns to explore the wilderness from Kebi village.
• Runs into Akihitos, who offers to pay 500 gp for saving him from some "thugs".

• Joins the Orc Siblings and the vagabonds plus ogre to find Akihitos.
• Stumbles into the main force of the Mindblades and the Stone Seekers, also hired by Akihitos to deal with the "thugs". 
• Fights with the Mindblades and Stone Seekers, who are skewered and driven away with few survivors. The remaining four Mindblades and two Stone Seekers vow revenge, teaming together as the Stone Mind Collective.
• Mourns the loss of Lilom of the Orc Siblings, who dies as the only causality on Badger's side of the battle.
