Recap
Episode 7: Drinks All Around starts off in the barn the party had previously chased a cultist and two of his dire wolves into. The party finds another teleportation circle with the cultist no where in sight. in another corner there is an old organ. The party decides to get some rest.

Rhys casts alarm on the front door and the night passes without incident. The party investigates the floor and the organ. There is a note on the organ that says "Feed the organ and watch the floor. The party discerns the keys to use and Sai and Rhys both fail before Faolán plays the right keys and the floor opens to reveal stairs going down.

Down the stairs they find it is a storage room of sorts. They assume it is where the cultists store extra food storage's. they also find a Figurine of a dog, A vase of water elementals, Some documents locating another cultist storage farther west near the coast. They also find A journal scrap from the leader of the cult that confirms the suspicion that the elven counsel had caused the problem in Vlae Rhumid. They also found some boxes that had dangerous warnings on them that the party wisely chose to leave alone.

They go even farther down the cellar through a hallway that leads to stairs leading up to the house they had seen the light come on in the previous night. It seems to be a bunkhouse however it is empty. The party hears scraping on some windows and notices that the large dead looking tree out front is gone and looks to have been uprooted. The party instantly thinks Treent and decide to retreat. They go back down through the cellar to the barn and put on cultist robes to sneak out.

The Treent notices them and it comes after them. Realizing that it wasn't going to stop they turned and tried getting it to go away. Two party members tried casting command on it but both failed. Having no other choice a battle begins. With much effort the party eventually beats the creature, Faolán giving the final blow. The party takes a short rest while they discuss what to do next. They decide on going to Nekora and head back to Iwyx Point to look for a ship.

They find the Apple and the Bee Inn and Tavern. After getting rooms Sai decides to pay a half elf 100 gold pieces to start a riot in the tavern. Of course the riot ensues and the guards shows up to break it up. Sai hits a guard and gets shackled and hauled off to the jail. Hathus and Terrance tries to bail him out but the cost is 200 gold pieces. They dont have the money. Sai releases his stuff to Terrance who we find out is his brother, maybe? They go back to the inn to Pyra and she goes to get Sai out of jail. They go get some rest.

The next day they go talk to Captain Livi but she is not going to Neckora for some time. The party goes to talk to the dock master and he tells them that the Sea Lily will be going there but that it wont be in port for at least a few days yet. The party goes to find a new inn not wanting to go back to the one Sai had destroyed.

They find the Ye' Olde Inn and Out and get rooms there. The half elf that Sai was supposed to pay for the riot was there and asks Sai for his gold. Sai doesn't have it and they find out that the half elf is a bounty hunter sent after them to bring them back to Whiteroads for the owner of the museum they had robbed. They find out hes getting paid 1000 gold pieces each for them. In a series of threats and negotiations, during which we find out that Rhys killed his research assistant, He agrees to give them a week to get the money.
