03: FRANZ THE BEGGAR REVEALS A SECRET


 * The party sets up a clinic at the local inn, where Wabu is positioned to heal Meatpopsicles. Wildfire is also there, being interviewed by the Sage. 
 * The party runs into a band of three bandits (pirates known to Fina from her swashbuckling days). The leader of the pack gets a crossbow shot and a dagger off on Fina before she blasts him with three magic missiles, burning holes through his chest. Tarlenheim stabs the second, and Kang rage-axes the third. The party loots happily. 


 * Kang is the happy new owner of a gentleman’s top hat. Fina discovers a drunk, ex-boyfriend style letter from a villain for her pirate days on one of the bandits. 
 * The party Scooby Doos it and breaks up to check on the remaining citizens in town. They gather Meatpopsicles to take them to the cleric. 


 * Cobbler + cobbler’s wife - safe inside 
 * Apple/cherry farmer + wife - frozen 
 * The Brady Bunch family farmers - Mike is frozen in the field + 2 boys 
 * Reginald the mason - frozen
