| 205 | A Diabolical Artificer is found searching for artifacts of Venudious and the Venom Priests in the Pixie Cave. The Artificer tells some hunters that he has been trying to track down the Priests' old cave for a long time. It turns out that the Artificer is more of an archaeologist, making a map and taking samples. The hunters let the Artificer continue his work in peace, and they eventually leave the cave. Returning an hour later, they find a few brigands guarding a camp, but no sign of the Artificer. The hunters search the camp and learn that the Artificer had unearthed a Pure Crystal Ring and Tarnished Necklace. | Artificer | An Artificer & Talk of Venom Priests (first post) | |
| ~208 | Csilith, who has so far only revealed her name to Tiatan, returns to Mirith and dines with her servant as well as Irene (a disguised Istra Falvo). Csilith retires for the night; Tiatan and Irene return to the tavern to find N'eroth. N'eroth admits that, though he is now the king, he is still lonely. Highly intoxicated, the lovers depart for a tryst. Tiatan goes to the inn and, later in the night, overhears a Mirith Scout enter in search of Csilith for questioning. Csilith had anticipated the Scout, however, and fled Mirith via the sewers. | Wizard (Csilith)
