This podcast episode details a D&D party's adventures following their defeat of the Galawax. They return to Colville and sell their loot, including the Galawax skull and a magical orb, to Maggie Thera, a blind dragonborn merchant. Maggie teaches them how to permanently learn spells from spell stones, leading to several trades involving potions, spell components, and blood.
