Merchants call themselves the Cobalt Bazaar

Kobolds usually end up as wolf prevention, but they haven't been lately

The drakes and dragon-adjacent things are all missing, but weird stuff is still flying around

I smashed a devil rock and shit went dark

We got offered escort jobs from two of the three parts of the Cobalt Bazaar

The town got together to give us a nice dinner/party thing bc they like us

Thalara causes shit

• She promises to tell us about any circles she finds

We wake up to chaos?????
