After returning from their first mission, SniffWind and company returned to Imor and the Red Dragon Inn. The group learned of an upcoming concert by the bard Orpheus, but were told their prospects for getting tickets was pretty grim. They would have to check at the ticket center in the BountyPlace to be sure. They did note, however, that the concert brought a lot of young women to the city, and SniffWind, Thorodin and WildFire flirted with a number of them.
Meanwhile, Tripper Leebow explored some of the residential area, finding himself at Barb's Diner and learning some things about the less fortunate folk of the city. After talking to Tripper about his little adventure, Li-Jorus went out himself and met a fellow named Cliff, who recommended he check out Roxy's for an evening diversion.
The following morning, the BountyPlace was abuzz preparing for the parade to welcome Orpheus. Kessa went out to get information about getting in to see his show. Li-Jorus didn't have enough to pay for a ticket, so SniffWind agreed to loan him some cash. The three of them, along with Tripper, went out to view the parade. Li used the opportunity to attempt some pickpocketing, but without much luck. Ralnar took a walk around the city, and he briefly visited the First Observatory of Mastepha, where he sought advice from Frydal, a Dwarven priestess.
Meanwhile, Thorodin met up with Kendra WillowSight, who asked him to tutor her and a friend of hers, Ashley. The three of them went off to the library just as Ralnar returned. WildFire also emerged, and the two of them spotted a group of dwarves at a nearby table. The dwarves' leader, Grumblor, briefly chatted with Ralnar.
Outside at the parade, Orpheus finally arrived, accompanied by his 9-foot-tall servant, Lastrigon. Tripper decided he was interested in what the two were thinking and cast thought capture on them both. Meanwhile, SniffWind met a couple of other fans and read a bit of the minstrel's biography. He then decided he would try and meet Orpheus and went out onto the parade route. When he was stopped by the police, he tried to talk his way out, but was eventually hauled off to a holding area. Tripper followed him while Li sent a message to Sgt. Keeler.
After being processed, during which a drunk recognized him as "that guy who sang the Beer Song", SniffWind was led into the holding cell. Inside, he was approached by a young woman named Judith Scarsdale, who struck up a conversation. Discovering that they'd both been arrested while trying to meet Orpheus, they hit it off quite well. It turned out that Judy was a member of one of the city's important families, and with the help of a man named Efrem she was released, and had SniffWind released as well. The two went back to the bar, where SniffWind introduced her to the party, but shortly thereafter Kendra came back from a rest, and Judy quickly made an excuse to leave. Kessa also felt the tension of the encounter and took it upon herself to go over and chat with Drumblor and Strumblor, two dwarves who were setting up their instruments for a performance.
Moments later, SniffWind received a message from Sgt. Keeler, saying that any further behavior such as his would result in the party's removal from their mission. While the party digested this, the two dwarves began performing. Kessa went upstairs to find Evadne packing, and discovered she would be joining the Imorian Army.
Back downstairs, the dwarves were getting a poor reception, and the crowd began chanting for SniffWind to perform. He got up on the table and began chanting, but lost his balance and fell to the floor, spraining his ankle. Tripper tried to heal him to no avail, and the dwarven bards helped him upstairs, where Kessa also ministered to him with similar results. Meanwhile, the party's former companion Tom came in with two friends, and after playing darts with Tripper for a while, Tom found out about SniffWind's little escapade in the market.
The next day, the party went out into the city once again. Li received a message from Cliff, asking him to meet him back at Roxy's. There, he asked Li to help him with some ticket scalping for Orpheus's show. Tripper and Thorodin decided they would see how some of the less fortunate folk of Imor lived, but after a discussion with a young boy learned that the society was not as stratified as they thought, and after running into Li they all headed back to the RDI.
Meanwhile, Kessa visited the First Observatory, where she had a lively discussion with Fiorello Lorenzo, a Halfling priest, who invited her to return in three days for a knowledge-sharing ritual. From there, she encountered a historical tour of the city being led by a woman named Aurora. Kessa mentioned this to the rest of the party, who agreed it might be good to check out.
SniffWind, Drumblor and Strumblor also went into the market, with SniffWind getting some curative herbs from Rose's Herbs & Spices. On their return, Judy was outside the RDI, and invited SniffWind, along with the rest of the group, to a party being thrown the following evening at The Golden Geyser in honor of Orpheus.
Dorella appeared at the RDI, apparenly also leading a historical tour. The group was led around the city, and while in the Imorian Commerce Center learned that the crest they'd seen during their previous mission belonged to the Scarsdale Family. They also got a look at what lay beyond the walls of the city: a barren wasteland dotted by the ruins of various cities laid waste during the Great Magic War.
After the tour, Tripper and Thorodin decided to visit Roxy's to see if they could find some trouble...
