A Goldsteil FestivalBefore leaving Kdor, Guildmaster Teyla Coalmaker invites the adventurers to represent Grand's Guild in the city's annual Festival of Rebirth at Kdor, a celebration of Kdor's reconstruction and the rise of the Goldsteil family. The highlight is The Gauntlet, a contest of martial, mechanical, and magical prowess with strict rules: no magic on others (only yourself), stealth is encouraged, and the only way to lose is to be knocked out. The competition includes puzzles, stealth challenges, skill challenges, and a final combat footrace. First place earns a special item and the Medallion of the Gauntlet, second and third walk away with gold, and all competitors earn prestige in Kdor's eyes. After the festival, Teyla teleports the party to Evenfell to investigate troubles with the city's guild.
