As soon as Bay returned to the table a mysterious man strolled up to our table. He appeared charming enough but i got a strange vibe off of Bay. He seemed to get really squirrely around him. He kept apologizing to this guy for being to presumptious and overstepping his place. I didn't get it. All we were doing was trying help poor Maggie figure out information about that singer that may have killed. He seemed to think he needed to cower to this man so I just let him keep apologizing. The man also seemed to want to punish his boss, but Bay was pretty upstanding and owned up to whatever mistake he made. Eventually the guy got to the point and told Bay that in order to get information and keep his boss out of trouble he had to do a "favor" for them.
Apparently there is this guy Lord Brakus Moris who borrowed some money and wasn't paying off his debt. This guy wanted us to go to the Silver Cloud Casino and find him. If we just reported back immediately that he was at the casino so they could send their men out to get him we would be "forgiven" (whatever that means) and get the information about the musical killer. If we actually bring the Lord in we get 200 gold pieces, sounds easy enough. So we walked over to the Silver Cloud Casino and started trying to find our man.
Entering the Casino we observed how things were working in this place. The place was quite large with many gaming tables and a bar. There were many private rooms that we were told were high stake gaming rooms. That was where the owner was heading. He was a large half orc who was dressed very nicely, but you could almost tell if you crossed him you may not live to see the morning. Well that may be true, he was very charming with his clientele. He occassionally came out of the high stakes room and greeted many people personally. He even bought me this delicious drink that was super expensive, like 30 platinum. I would never spend that much money on a drink if I had to buy it myself, but far be it from me to refuse a gift horse in the mouth. Bay kept losing money. It didn't seem to bother him. After awhile he dropped to a lower wage table and started watching the door to the main high stakes where the owner was playing. Long story short, some guy died in the high stakes room, the guy we were looking for left, we caught him in the alley relieving himself, took him back to the people that wanted him. We got the information we needed about the musician Her name is Andrea Heartstring, she is a con and a charlatan. She puts people to sleep with her music and occassionally sucks the life force form them. Ember and Rufus believe that she may be similar to a siren because of the legend around their home town. We went back to let Maggie know the situation and told her to be careful of the people that she has performing in her inn.
After letting her know what we found out we decided to travel downstream and see if we could find something more about her. We will see what happens next. We'll see.
