After finishing housekeeping activities in Khosht, our party heads back to Valdemartin, determined to tackle the Baron's castle, Red Circle mission or not. It works, we find some cool loot in the Baron's treasure room (although our Hobb gets told she's the wrong race to wear Hobb-only Tuckerman's Armor :( ), and the Red Circle Rider chieftain is VERY grateful that we've rescued his daughter. So grateful, in fact, that he insists on giving us the 2,000GP reward for her rescue -- over and over again! After breaking this cycle by turning down the reward (once each party member has a Red Ogre Amulet equipped), we start searching for the hidden Dhesiri hive the Red Circle sent us to find -- but get rewarded anyway (5,000GP) the next time we meet the Red Circle, even though we haven't actually found the hive yet! (Should we try to find the hive anyway, at least for the sake of XP grinding?)
