Plot Hooks:

• The characters stop at an Inn along the river road. The barmaid is wearing a button that says, "Stop staring at my rack!" The bartender's button reads "Buck Off!" They talk about the festival when asked about the buttons.
• The prize for winning the Thwack Off is more than the characters can resist. Even divided among the party members, it's a lot of money. As the locals say, "thwack 'em 'n stack 'em!"
• The characters are on their way to Redwood Valley for the start of festival. The iridescent antlers of the Keresh deer who migrate south out of the Blackspire mountains fetch a handful of silver coins.
