D + N head back to the forewoman and drop off the captain's signature. Dewey showed off his alternate voice chips, and everybody heads off back towards the inn to regroup, where Whistle shows some of the things they stole while Dewey gives Whistle the letter from the captain to open carefully. The letter to Jimmy asks for Jimmy to meet the captain at midnight in the Ash Tunnels because Jimmy hasn't paid the captain in full (for smuggling?). Currently roughly 9pm.
The Ash Tunnels are the complex series of pipes/tunnels underneath Ashfall District that are used to siphon off the district's manufacturing waste material, keeping the city cleaner.
Whistle also investigates the box stolen, which turns out not to have any keyhole. NoVA tries to break it but takes damage instead, and Dewey casts Detect Magic while Whistle asks downstairs to find out if there are other taverns in the area (where Jimmy could be). Detect Magic reveals that the box is intensely magical and carries many schools of magic, but predominantly Abjuration. There is a tavern called The Long Walk 10 mins walk away but find nothing of importance there. We go into the Ash Tunnels and there is a stench carried on wind, and walk upwind into it until eventually the smell eases off and the tunnels open up into a large open space clearly for meeting, with a grate facing out towards the sunset (fading into moonlight). Currently roughly 10pm.
