be with the group, the "having just finished teaching a pimp, who was so stupid that he actually attempted to shake down Calistia's sacred prostitutes, the error of his ways."
This could easily be in Red Ridge. This was resolved about a week prior. Since then, you were troubled by visions/dreams of a dark cloud descending over Elsir Vale, and a golden wasp, flying north, attacking it only to fall. You puzzled over this, and decied Calistria did want you to go north to combat this problem, but you could not do the task alone.
You heard about the party leaving to investigate the rumors, and Lord Jeerad, was pleased to have a cleric accompany his (basically foster sons). (he asked you to try to keep them safe

)
