Gaining access to the biomechanical baobab tree encampment, the heroes spoke with the matriarch of the Green Tangerine Nomads and secured a promise of their help against the vomes at Verdegris Ribs. They then spent a week carousing, in which Laurel won a new golem pet whilst gambling, and Sage was run out of town accused of cheating.
The heroes ventured deeper into the Ultraviolet Grasslands. 9 gruelling days descending from the steppe was punctuated only by Azure humorously ripping his pants when sitting down on a cinder slag, until the caravan met a lone merchant, Giorrodi Spada, travelling in the other direction. After sharing information about the road ahead, they shared a camp for the night. It was not until the early hours of the morning that they discovered that Giorrodi was a vomish infiltrator and had infected Midori with thd vome source code, much to Jane-John's delight.
The heroes finally reached the porcelain citadel, home of the porcelain princes. Passing under the watchful eyes of the column defence golems, they stabled their camels in the Princes' serai and found accommodation in the yellow guesthouse run by Tan Biscotti.
Hitting up the House of the Unbowed Cardinal they partook of the hottest bbq in the west and heard rumours of a grass cult amongst the otherwise fruity nomads.
On their way to seek out Jonky Bonko, a furniture maker and popular tourist guide, the heroes ran into Clayfire 100-Company, a self-appointed one-prince militia who demanded to inspect their wares.
Through stealth and diplomacy the heroes hid their contraband sunscreen, but were forced to sell their scrap metal at a discount. They also found out that Satrasco - wealthy merchant of the Yellow Lily Consortium - had left the citadel to build a pleasure estate out at the Potsherd Cratar.
