Lavina decides to visit this orchard, since an overgrown, poorly tended garden deserves a halfling's touch.

HIROMI
Hiromi, unfortunately, had little luck finding Phinick. All of the townsfolk knew the goblin. He was a fixture at the Feedmill. But no one knew much beyond that, where he lived. He was a goblin. He was lucky they let him stay around.
LAVINA
Lavina headed into the old orchard. At one point, it had been a productive apple orchard, but now the trees seemed to have taken on a sickness, leaving it foul and rotted. Near the center of the orchard, Lavina passed too close to a tree containing a gigantic beehive. Buzzing angrily, the bees began to swarm.

GALAHAD
Examining the ledgers, Galahad found that Bort visited Etran’s Folly at least 22 times in the past
decade, and about five years ago the merchant started making deliveries labeled “reagents” to someone referred to only as “H,” receiving rather large sums of gold in exchange. These deliveries are numbered, starting with 1 and ending with delivery number 14, which occurred the day the caravan arrived in town.

Hiromi sighed and returned to the Feedmill, hoping that the goblin would eventually show up.

Silvi suddenly caught herself in a daydream and quickly found out that everyone seemed to have gone off to conduct their own little investigation of a lead. The gnome woman recalled Edra saying something about Trin living with her brother on a small farm and having possibly been injured in the brawl. That was surely something she could administer to! And maybe on the way she could pause to take a better look at that strange rock they had passed by on their way to the Feedmill. The gnome skips along on her way humming to herself cheerfully as she went.

Galahad takes a few minutes to put everything back where he'd found it, takes up his notes and runs to the sheriff's office hoping his lead might lead to a larger clue.

Hiromi (Feedmill)
After her investigation didn’t turn up any new leads, Hiromi returned to the Feedmill, which was still locked up tightly after last night’s troubles. The caravan was still parked nearby, Gallahad intently looking through Bort’s ledgers, the caravaneers lounging around a fire. Edra was still in the stables tending to the horses, putting on the last of the rosemary salve to drive off the biting insects.
Silvi (Plaguestone)
As Silvi walked to the center of town, she found what was called the Plaguestone. About two feet high, it was large, flat, and cylindrical. A hole was drilled in the top, and to the side was a shallow depression. She recalled one of the townsfolk explaining it last night. During the plague, the townsfolk would leave food in the shallow bowl for the sick, and the sick would drop coins in the hole to pay for it. There would have been vinegar in the hole to cleanse the coins. Now, it was just a moss-covered relic of a bad time for the town, the start of its decline.
As Silvi looked at the stone, she heard a groan from a nearby ditch, and a human man of upper middle years crawled out, blinking in the sunlight. His brown hair was disheveled, and his beard a bit unkempt. His clothes had once been fine, but now were in a sorry state. He staggered over to the nearby well and pulled up a bucket of water, upending it over his head, removing a bit of the smell that suddenly struck Silvi.
Then the man jumped, spinning around, a panicked look in his eyes. Then they settled on Silvi and he gave a relieved sigh. “Oh. It’s you.”
Silvi recognized him from the previous evening, a man who had been pretty deep in his cups last night.
Galahad (Sheriff's, 4 hours later)
The town didn’t have a jail, or really a proper sheriff's office. Rolth usually just set up in the Feedmill when anything official had to be done, but the inn was locked up as a crime scene. Galahad found Rolth lazily whittling on a piece of wood beneath a large, spreading oak tree near the center of town. Occasionally he stopped to take a bit of a humongous sandwich or a swig of ale, belching. He looked up as Galahad approached.
“Solved the case, have ya?” the overweight man said, shifting in his seat. He spat to the side. “Whatcha got?”

"Not solved, but I've found a clue, I'm hoping you can help me with. And a few questiins on another matter that 'may or may not' be related. Bort's been coming through here for ten years, about twice a year it seems. Over the last five years he's made fourteen deliveries labelled 'reagents' to a person only listed as 'H'. Do you know who this might be?"
Galahad offered up his notebook for the Sheriff to examine, if he should so wish.

Lavina went into a fighting guard, then looked at the bees....
... and then decides that attempting to fistfight bees is foolishness, so instead, she tosses something sweet and runs in the opposite direction.

SILVI
The man gave Silvi an unsteady smile. He patted his clothes and came up with a battered old flask, and he took a healthy dose of turnip whiskey to steady his nerves. He gave Silvi a look with wide and bloodshot eyes. “Talmore, my old friend. You have to help me. I think his minions have followed us here. I seen ’em. They’re coming!” The man, still shaking, looked around fearfully.
GALAHAD
Rolth looked at the notebook and Galahad’s notes. “Ten years? Yeah, I guess that’s how long Bort’s bee comin’,” the sheriff agreed. “Here an’ back, passin’ through.” He nodded to Galahad and took a large bite of his sandwich. “Lossa people’s names start wif H,”he said with his mouth full.
LAVINA
Lavina decided that the better part of valor meant not getting stung by a swarm of bees, and the halfling monk took off away from the old orchard, away from Amora’s home. She caught up with Silvi in the center of town near the plaguestone where the gnome cleric was talking to a wild-eyed drunk.
