Roxas and the Zealot's Blade

Discovery, Exploration

James gets a lead on where to find a poison strong enough to be the foundation for Zealot's Blade. This lead takes the party to Esterwood, where they'll find the hunt of a lifetime. They do any odd jobs they can along the way so that they can still afford food, one of which results in a new member joining the group: Roxas, the mimic. Also, the aarakocra they killed appears to be missing when they cross the site he was buried.

The party was tricked by a dwarven scout by the name of Harding. Harding said he had a lead on a cave full of treasure, but it ended up being full of mimics he had a pact with. The group killed all but one of the mimics, then killed Harding. The final mimic only lived because it bargained with Mex. That mimic's name is now Roxas and he is Mex's shield.   Note: The mimic is a masochist, so it's a win-win.
