-- extract from Bell's Journal

Today we investigated a series of events that happened mostly in the vein, from the Pricklepluck residence we learned how their windows were broken and Skraz's tail was stomped by someone described by Skraz as a woman that changes her face so maybe a changeling or doppleganger?

Fawkes got robbed and possibly hit by a spell like sleep or command since the only thing he remembers in his own words was a "wham bang" of magic hitting him while he was talking with a child and then waking up feeling hungry, we confirmed the robbery was carried out by children and they removed the explosive thunder gems from the knives he sells, however, these were very carefully and expertly removed most likely by someone experienced with the tools used to embed gems into equipment.

After that, we spoke to Zerrick of the Faerie Folk, someone broke into his house while he was asleep, the lock on the door looked like it was broken by a small explosion of some sort and they broke in specifically to snap his staff in half to get a leaf green thread that allowed him to use magic he does not have expertise in.
This would mean whoever broke in knew exactly what they were looking for as there weren't any other items missing, just the thread from his staff.

Finally, we went to The Orphanage where we spoke to the matron, a woman with impeccable manners, although, I can see why some people would perceive her as scary, she told us there was an assortment of pots and pans stolen from residencies of grown up children that the orphanage relocates to the vein when they are old enough, the residences were unoccupied at the moment of the robbery and those are the only things that were taken.

All of these events seem to be tied to the bloodlines, we know they're most probably gathering children possibly to train them and gathering resources as well because of the big amount of explosive gems they stole. We still have no explanation on why the Pricklepluck residency was targeted or what can they do with pots and pans.. maybe they need to cook to feed all of the new members? Could it be that the explosion at the scout tower the other day was caused by some of these gems? There are still many questions to answer and all we know is that they are most likely planning something big.
