			'''TLDR:''' Following up on a report of many unusual tracks to the east, the party learned a tribe of thri-kreen nomads were responsible, and they were forced to slay a group of thri-kreen scouts when diplomacy broke down. Nearby, they attacked a motley group and captured their leader, the righteous tiefling ex-scrapper Velza, who had split with Regina after repeatedly prioritizing the wellbeing of Badlands residents above Raegina's mission.

			'''Events:'''

	The half-orc ex-mercenary Gnash was worried again. Scouts 100 miles east of [[the Arboretum]] had lost the trail of a large group of unknown humanoids with peculiar footprints who had been moving toward the tree. At her request (and with some difficulty), the [[gnome]] arcanist Jerbo used a Wind Walk scroll to expedite the party's investigation. Their landmarks for navigation included the rotting carcass of a giant worm as well as the distant Mount [[Toi'Viral]] -- named for the renegade demon whose [[Wish]] had essentially ended [[the Holy War]] against the [[dragon]]s more than a century earlier.

 '''Events:'''
 Spurred by the Osteomancer's warning of an imminent surge in demon activity across the Badlands, the Shepherds offered to coordinate counter-actions, and people of the Northern Tablelands called for aid only a day before maurezhi demons struck multiple settlements, turning residents into ghouls. Evacuating a predominantly vulpine village, the party staged a fighting retreat to keep the villagers behind them until Shimmerwing could arrive and take them aboard. Though Ollie came frighteningly close to death, her allies stabilized her at the last moment.
-The group held off a maurezhi and its ghoul spawn until Shimmerwing could arrive and carry the villagers to relative safety. They learned that the sandship had an extradimensional hold, where the vulpines would need to get along with those already aboard, dozens of thri-kreen refugees from the Kharmaja Dune Sea, whose warriors Nimz had special need of. They sailed for Cinderspire mesa farther to the north, where the party would provide defense for the other passengers while Nimz, Lirizel, several more elves, and a dozen psi warriors made an important acquisition.
