       The day started with shouts for help being heard coming from the
       areas surrounding the city of Tarox.  Three groups of
       adventurers broke off to determine the sources of the cries.  A
       band of misfits found a noble paladin in the farmlands, a group
       of faerie and changelings discovered a witch in the forest, and
       a group of barbarians and mercenaries discovered an elf drowning
       in the river.  The three soon found each other in the city and
       started to settle in with the other inhabitants.
       The misfit merchant group aided the peasantry of the city
       through the day by determining the source of a string of fires
       in the peasant ring and destroying the Ash Rats that were
       responsible for them.  The group also aided the farmers of the
       city by tracking down a pack of Worgs that had been picking off
       animals across the farmlands.  The situation was resolved by
       talking the alpha into guarding the farms of their victims to
       work off their debt.  Continuing their journey in the farmlands,
       the group were informed of a kidnapped monk of Yashua in a
       nearby hut.  Finding the proposed ransom of 6 gold to be a
       little steep, the dwarven mage smashed the door in only to be
       heavily wounded by a crossbow trap.  The thugs were defeated and
       the monk released to continue his pilgrimage after lecturing the
       group on the perils of their violence.
       The group of faerie and their allies tackled some sizable
       problems when they investigated reports of missing children and
       discovered that an evil witch had been kidnapping children who
       had come into her fields and harassed her.  The children were
       discovered to have been turned into scarecrows, a problem which
       the group remedied.  All children were returned to their parents
       apart from one who had seemingly lost his memories.  The group
       was also responsible for the recovery of the apprentice of the
       Order of the Emperor’s Grace that had stolen items worth dozens
       of gold.
       The areas along the forest and the river were explored by the
       Saurans of Clan Axefell and a mercenary group which found itself
       under the employ of a Helean mage.  Clan Axefell’s adventures
       culminated with an encounter with strange, mutant, explosive
       infants as well as a pitched combat with a huge spider that the
       city guard refused to handle.  The mercenary group did their
       best to save thwart an attack by orcs on a minor merchant
       caravan but was thwarted as the orcs grabbed most of the goods
       and the merchants themselves.
       Other events of note from around the city include a report of a
       haunting from a guardsman that a mixed group of adventurers
       promised to look into.  That same group was later seen to be
       investigating a rash of murders around the city.  These strange
       killings have since ceased.  The inaugural fight of the new
       arena was a brief but bloody affair which pitted a Dire Boar
       against a wolf-like warrior with the changeling coming out on
       top.  It is promised that the next featured fight will have a
       more exotic opponent.  The city’s Jugger team arrived back after
       their rousing win at the summer tournament.  While the night was
       young, the baron met with the general public at the Joyful
       Bottle.  The event was merry and the baron heard concerns on
       many subjects including the reports of an alleged animal barony
       which is being staked in the forest.  The party was cut short by
       a sizable explosion originating from the kitchen of the tavern.
       This is currently under investigation by the city’s top security
       personnel.  Also under investigation is an alleged murder of a
       mysterious High Elf who materialized in town.  The Order of
       Yashua’s Hand is asking for any information on this crime.
