Day 140
The adventurers go to Benedict and explain what happened during the auction, HHH does the explaining... We tell him who the other bidders were, including Andre and Lady Valera.
Benedict says "Sorry to hear that, Andre will probably use it to his own advantage, Andre does not want the piece for himself, just wants control of something powerful".
HHH suggests that the adventurers trail Andre, Nuria suggests that we offer or trade something for the Rod piece, discussing different options... The adventurers should have a sit-down with Andre...
Agrona says that our options are limited... consensus is we should try to talk to Andre for the 4th piece of the Rod.
Meanwhile, PW stays behind Andre about 2 blocks, trying to tail him successfully. He heads to the Stallion when he loses Andre's trail, waiting for Andre to show up. Gregory shows up instead. Goes up to the bar and offers him a drink, discusses his apprenticeship, and Gregory agrees to train him as a Shadowdancer. Finishes his drink, thanks Gregory, and heads out to the Church.
PW reaches the group, tells the adventurers of his progress with Gregory since he couldn't see Andre, or talk to him. Now all the adventurers are at the Church with Benedict. The rest of the group updates PW on what was discussed with Benedict...

The adventurers explain to Benedict why we did what we did regarding Agrona while we're cleaning up the mess in the hall. We also apologize profusely for the situation getting out of hand to the extent that it did.
The adventurers, minus Agrona, go to the Mage's Guild to talk to Belgarath. One of the sorcerers tells the adventurers that Belgarath isn't to be disturbed.
The adventurers go to the Order of the Phoenix with HHH to rest for the night.
Nuria excuses herself during the night, and comes back later with Agrona.
Nuria explains to the adventurers that she was summoned by Belgarath and that Agrona is fine and to welcome him back to the group with no worries from him. Belgarath said that nothing has really changed with Agrona, even though HHH couldn't detect anything from him.
Go back to see Belgarath to tell him that we're going to see Andre to discuss the 4th piece of the Rod. Belgarath tells them to leave the Rod pieces with him for safekeeping.

Meanwhile, HHH talked to Gareth regarding the current situation and gave him a momento and received a scale of Bronze Dragon. HHH thanks him profusely and leaves.
Benedict tells us that one has been divined into the depths of the earth, very far from here, rumoured to be in the Underdark. It can be reached by the Barrier Peaks. The other piece has been divined near the Hell Furneces Mountains. Barrier Peaks is a month away, and Hell Furneces is a month and a half away.

Andre is there brushing his horses. "Come in PW, you wanted to see me?"
"I did, you have the 4th piece of the Rod, and as you know, we are on a quest for all Seven pieces, we were wondering if we could offer you anything in exchange?"
"I have received very generous offers, so I doubt you can match them".
"I understand that..."
"You understand nothing" says Andre.
Again PW tries to discuss the exchange and Andre waves him off saying: "If something arises, I will make sure to notify you".
