Intro
The previous episodes events were discussed.

The party finish their first check over the Bandit Camp in southern Aysgarth and begin to question a particularly suspicious looking figure after Kasima manages to catch him from a rather pathetic attempt escape.

Immediately, the party question every word that comes out of his mouth with Insight Checks and Guidance spells as they see his bandana around his head, its the same bandana the rest of the bandits were wearing.

This person continued to talk in a suspicious way and reveals himself to be Nolan. He tells the five that he's been in the Camp for a while and that he planned on killing the bandits himself, but plans got stalled. The party managed to kill the bandit leader the night Nolan planned to unleash his plan.

Nolan takes the party down to his chambers in the underground of the camp to find 5 of the Calornian Empire Archive Blueprints and a staff that caught Petrichor's eye. Kasima, with Petrichor's Shillelagh spell assisting him, takes the Staff, which they know now is a Staff of the Magi.

After some repeated begging from Nolan, the party sneak out of the Bandit Camp without causing much more of a fuss and head back towards the Town of Aysgarth, before noticing a dust plume at the back, next to the spire of the Archive. A giant green monster is also seen running out towards the north, thuds shaking the ground.

In the town, everything has been dropped and there's a large crowd that's gathered around the Archive. The front entrance is fine, the back entrance is shattered to pieces. Athena notices Jashra, the Supervisor of the Aysgarth Archive, sitting further down from the rubble, her knees up and her eyes watering with tears.
