This is the twenty-ninth session in The Collective campaign and the first in the Journey Plans, Benefit Concerts sub-arc of the Treasure of Captain Lofy Arc.

Summary
FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1001: In the morning, the party awoke and prepared breakfast using some of the deer and some potatoes; Gorrn found some old potatoes in his bag and decided to start growing them inside of Hastur's old bed. The party discussed how much of a Melvin Calhoun is (harkening back to the old Brother of Arabella, Melvin the Avenger) and discussed their plans for the benefit concert later that day. Gorrn, despite the protests of most of the party, took of the majority of his clothing and dove into the freezing ocean from the cliffside 150 above, splashing into the water and locating a tuna. He defeated the tuna in its mindscape and stowed it away inside of F A S T C A B B A G E, while Gnorbitt went out to locate a place for their horses to be held during their trip.

Using her divine magic, Rosanhi sent a message to Calhoun asking him to come over for dinner[1]. He reluctantly accepted and arrived later in the evening, where he expressed his dismay that his father had been taken and that to retrieve him, he had to risk his and his friend's lives to do so. If he stayed, they would go by themselves and potentially die, but if he went, he would potentially die, or worse, lose his job. Gnorbitt, fed up with this defeatist talk and determined to inspire Calhoun, slapped him across the face and explained to him that he needed to "conquer his tuna" like Gorrn had. Convinced by this, Calhoun found himself with renewed vigor and stuck around until the end of the night, asking Badger about how to potentially impress Rosanhi. Badger deflected the question and told Calhoun to focus on not dying, before going out into the night and breaking into the orphanage to plant 1000 gold pieces into its safe (good move). Rosanhi, determined to avoid more nightmares, stayed up all night and read the Infernal book.
