Wheldon Arc
Episode 19: A Toast to Unity

When Lidara investigates the kitchens, she finds one stray bottle at the back - sparkling white grape juice (fantasy Welch's) labeled "Tasha." As she picks it up, an genasi server with short dark hair walks in. He is very nervous, and Lidara bluffs that she was sent back here by Valentina. The server slips up, intimidated by Lidara, and reveals that the bottle was supposed to be a secret from Valentina, and was Tasha's private bottle, and he cannot let her take it. Lidara relents and leaves the bottle with the server.

Later that night, Tasha stands center stage, and she's handed a special glass by the water genasi servant from earlier. She nervously proposes a toast (with Lidara giving her a thumbs up for confidence.)

Tasha mentions the recent strife in Wheldon, and toasts to not division, but unity. Not chaos and violence which undermines us, but shared understanding and a prosperous Wheldon. A Wheldon that cannot survive without the efforts of everyone here.

Episode 20: A Malediction of Red and Gold

Vincent and Renaer enter the ballroom from the northern balcony to see Tasha frozen in fear on the stage while Valentina moves towards her with an ebony black dagger in her hands. Wanting to kill Tasha, Valentina shouts at Vincent to get out of her way and lunges forward with her dagger - and Renaer jumps into her path, taking the strike instead.

Meanwhile, Lidara moves stealthily towards Tasha, Vincent, and Renaer. Vincent, not having time for Valentina's raving, grabs Renaer and casts Dimension Door to pull them onto the balcony. With the path to Tasha cleared, Valentina goes to attack her true target, but Lidara is faster - her thrown dagger buries itself into the back of Valentina's head, killing her in one hit. Tasha, stunned, stares down at the body, but Lidara grabs Tasha and tries to calm her down as they move away.

Tasha goes with the party to the Thorn Manor, and is able to point out the room in which the genasi family was staying. She also provides directions to Tyron's room before she accompanies Renaer to the foyer.

Episode 21: Brilliant Diamonds and Wretched Gold

As they wait in the garden shed, Vincent approaches Tasha, asking how she is doing. Tasha is clearly overwhelmed, and has a hard time responding to Vincent. She says that it was not like the stories at all - so much blood, so much anger... Vincent gently tells Tasha that adventuring is dangerous, and although some do it for money or glory or power, some people do it because they have to, and it's not all fun. But Vincent reassures her that she will be ok. Tasha asks for some time, and Vincent lets her have it, but leaves her with an offer to teach her to defend herself when she's ready.

Episode 22: Allies, Old and New

Tasha is escorted along with the genasi family to the undercity by the Strings of Fate, Bonnie, and Wolfgang. Vincent hands her a dagger as they go, telling her it is for her to defend herself, but Tasha is still frightened and out of it.

Episode 23: Much Ado About Submersibles

While Azzurum speaks with Selk, Vincent seeks out Tasha. She is curled up in a cot, apparently sleeping. The dagger that Vincent had given her is curled up lazily in her hand, and although she's still shaking a bit, she seems to finally be getting a bit of rest.
