Session Ten

Looks like the curfew has been dissolved due to some of our prodding with the patriar class, but also dueling has been re-established?
 
A dock hand named Margaret knows of the shipments, she notes a few warehouses took the deliveries. All by a Horace Cope. I should go talk to the warehouse keepers. Ravek, remembers them as odd orders. Paid in cash, ruffian types. No way to directly track.
 
We head up to the High Hall to look into records on Seskergates. A year ago Imbralym Skoond from Athcatla bought up the property. It's next door to the Mandorcai's Mansion, with rumors of around 3 years ago it appeared suddenly overnight, owned by a wizard tiefling rumored to get his spells from devils and partook in rituals in the house, driving down values.
 
Corin tells us Silvershield is kinda on the outs due to Wyllck Caldwell (blackmailed) and Ariax Rillyn (framed), and there is now a kinda war between the watch and the Flaming Fist. The guards are headed to pick up Norold Dlusker (wool merchant), Ellyn Harbreeze (baker), Stepan Groat (fist member). We fan out to tell people that are at risk, and I find the baker already embroiled in being dragged off by the guard. I make a distraction, to say WAY too little of it, and am now being chased!
 
Dlusker was warned successfully ahead of his arrest. The Flaming Fist leadership are informed of Groat's potential arrest, and he is rescued, with SOME issue back to the Fist. It's noted another crackdown on the Guild's activities is imminent. Rillyn has likely already been released on the murder charge.
 
Two regulars have not been seen in weeks after taking the job moving cargo: Allyck Vintner and Sigur Maed. We go to sleep...
 
Woken up by yells of: "Mr Big you son of a bitch"
