On 12 Thelliea, the party investigated Kobolwitz Manor. Connected to the kitchen was a pantry filled with pots, saltboxes, the earthy smell of rotted fruits and vegetables, and jars of preserves. Mira took two jars of strawberry jam.

Also in the pantry was a small bottle of pale brown pills, which Vichthart determined to be a month's supply of herbal remedy, but couldn't identify their purpose. Anrel determined that they taste bitter. They did not take the pill bottle, although Mira secretly removed five of the pills and placed them into one of the jars of strawberry jam. Mira then also stole a jaw of snozberry jam and a jar of lemon curd. He later also stole a jar of pickled onions.

The next day, while travelling from Captain Felosiel Teinithra's house to the Waterworks Guild Headquarters, Mira offered one of his jars of strawberry jam to Anrel, but received only a death glare in response, so backed down.

On 14 Thelliea, the party spoke to an administrator of the harbourmaster's office, hoping to learn the location where Hope's Prize was docked. Mira gave him the untainted jar of strawberry jam with a wink, to which the administrator responded sternly with ‘Attempts to bribe city officials don't tend to fly under the radar.’ Mira protested his innocence, claiming ‘I just thought you were cute!’
