Aftermath of Portwatch

Upon returning from Portwatch a week after setting out, the Party finishes their mission for Vendys. After meeting up with Torbin he tells us that he is moving to The Golden Griffin and gives us a quest to assist with a recent robbery at The Amethyst Bank

Portwatch has returned to it's usual busyness, traders walk the streets and boats sail the river. You return to Porion and Smodi meets you outside the gates having returned from some needed respite in the wild. Smodi reads the message Rori left behind and it gives cryptic answers relating to a Lady Eredith and Josiah Goodwin. He also thanks you for defeating him. You return to Vendys who is distant and cold, or at least, more so than usual. He thanks you for your service and promises his favour to Torbin. You learn from Snapper that he is serving penance to Vendys for attempting to steal from him and he still has a year of servitude left. You return to Torbin and, after a back and forth with his Goliath guards, tell him this good news and relay what happened to him. He considers that Rori's letter may relate to the burning of the Porisian Forest and tells you that Josiah Goodwin is the head of the Emerald Vale Logging Company and Lady Eredith is a powerful noble who is a public supporter of the logging company and the cutting down of the Elven Forest. Torbin is grateful for what you have done and says you are far more capable than he initially believed. He encourages you to venture out on your own, gathering allies that will help to preserve the Elven Forest and stop a potential war. He gives you a few leads with the head of the Blacksmithing Guild and the Amethyst Bank and leaves the Sapphire Shores tavern to go to the Golden Griffin tavern in the Trade Quarter where he says he will call on you when he needs you next. Amon and Arodeyr duel with Horncarver and Fearless and lose to them, though this seems to make the Goliaths only like you more. After some rest and healing, Smodi and Amon go into the Trade Quarter to meet a druid contact Smodi made in his downtime. They meet Innesa, a wood elf who runs a tea shop in the city. She tells them of the plight of the Treants in what remains of the Porisian Forest and how poachers hunt them for their gems. Meanwhile, the rest of the party go to the branch of the Amethyst Bank in the Guild House section of the city. They speak with the bank manager and a guard who detail how the theft took place and tell you that gems, along with documents belonging to Lady Eredith were stolen. Smodi and Amon return and Smodi determines that some sort of conjuration magic was used in the bank. The manager also says that one of the guards has potentially been killed - a lad named Josh, though there is no body. As Amon checks outside for clues, the investigator sent by the Emerald Vale Logging Company arrives, a rude man named Vel who looks down his nose at the party. They leave the bank and join up with Amon, as soon as Vel sees Amon he draws his rapier and accuses him of being the bank thief.
