The merchant party arrives in Frostkeep without incident. It took them two weeks to make the journey, because of the weather and the season. The merchants pay up and everybody gets paid. Liam, Ulda Bordis, Father Borgan and Mother Tierna take rooms at The Seven Labors Inn. Father Borgan tells Liam that his former accolyte, Sigfried, has left the temple and apprenticed with a veterinary. This prompts Mother Tierna to reveal that she joined the Bell-Ringer's temple when she was just a girl, forty years ago, and is very happy with her life. Ulda Bordis reveals that she's been contacted by Madame Yellowstar, a former client, who wants to arrange an escort back to Mistgate. She will be meeting with her tomorrow. Liam shares his own plans, to find a proper bath-house and have a proper, hot bath. The two bell-ringer priests reveal that they will go to pay their respects at the local Bell-Ringer temple, and keep busy until they can return to Mistgate.
The next day, Liam has no luck in finding a proper bath-house. The one he does find is dingy and dirty and he refuses to use it. While trying to find his way back to the Seven Labors, he is run into by a woman, who is being pursued by two men in servant's uniforms. After the three are gone, Liam realizes the woman dropped a small leather-bound book. He cannot read it, so drops it into his pocket and promptly forgets about it, as he resumes his search for the Seven Labors.
Meanwhile, Ulda Bordis has returned to the Keep. She meets with Madame Yellowstar, who wants to return to Mistgate as soon as possible. She and Ulda Bordis haggle over the price for a brief bit, but come to an agreement. When Ulda Bordis asks why Madame Yellowstar wants to leave so soon, the woman explains that her husband is dead and buried, she has no place in Frostkeep and that the town is not a good place.
Ulda Bordis nods and tells her that she will begin making preparations.

This session felt very short, probably because I skipped the narration of the trip back to Frostkeep. Instead, I just rolled on my oracle to determine if anything happened en route to Frostkeep. The answer was 'No', so I just skipped ahead to the group's arrival.
Liam's encounter on the street was prompted by the Call to Adventure art/inspiration deck. It may, or may not, play into upcoming events. I've added it as a possible Story Prompt.
