The Festival of the Stars

We arrived in a new town where we learned that the portals we create damage the area where they open. It seems that on this occasion we damaged some extremely valuable cabbages. They didn't look special to me, but maybe cabbages are rare on this moon. In any case, the local guard took us in for questioning. This town appears to be in the habit of executing lawbreakers since their jail cells are ill-equipped for long-term incarceration. We met one such death row inmate by the name of Madrox a black-eyed elf that claimed to be some kind of sailor.
 
We spoke with the captain of the town and were able to clear up the situation as well as pay appropriate reparations. I was able to at least sell some of the salty salt that we acquired on the last island we visited. We visited the library but Nora said there wasn't anything worthwhile there. I saw a book I thought might be helpful, something about Children who have tails that come from fairies. It sounded strange but I guess it's not that uncommon a condition.
 
So, we went back an talked some more to Madrox, he seemed very knowledgeable about portals. Unfortunately, it seems he was caught murdering someone and didn't have the sense to avoid witnesses or a secret identity. I guess it's a good thing I no longer engage in those kinds of activities. Anyway, we spoke with the captain of the town and he told us very specifically that he couldn't release Madrox under very certain circumstances. We let Madrox know and I was very sad that he wasn't able to join us. But right after we left I guess Madrox talked with the captain and they came to an understanding and he was cleared of all charges. thankfully he was able to catch up with us and we all went back home. I can't imagine how pleased the council is going to be.
