-  * Zoldathra kicks them out of Castle Serastis (granting them the promised "safe passage").
-  * The party gathers the slave community together, heals them as best they can, and escorts them to civilization.
-  * The party encounters a small army of mercenaries (under contract from [[Kevin Arcana]]) heading toward Castle Serastis.
-  * [[Allie]] (and perhaps others) return the King's bones to the Barrow near [[Kingsholm]].
-  * Some (or all) of the party visit [[Kevin Arcana]] to understand his role in this affair.
-  * A trip to [[Southbay]] occurs -- where much trading occurs.
-  * Everybody returns home to rest and recuperate -- during which time several months pass (mostly) uneventfully.
