Heirois and the Nothic

In an inn in Phandalin, Eldred and Osa spoke with Sildar before heading out toward a local adventurer. At the orchard, Eldred introduced The Outsiders and, seeing his symbol of Tyr, Heirois greeted the old adventurer as a friend of Torm. The adventurer offered information and a keg of cider for informing him about the Old Owl Well. At the town's second inn, the party attempted to interact with a group of local thugs but they picked a fight with Eldred and he slaughtered them. At the end of it all, the last among them tried for Witcher thinking him weak and standbackish. Witcher punched his teeth out with Soulsilver and after queued up by Osa, he started a line of questioning before cutting his finger off. Carrying a head he was handed by Eldred, the thug left off into the woods forever onward. The Outsiders met with Harbin, the town master, and agreed to help remove the local gang. Once The Outsiders snuck into the manor, they were met with a nothic. It tried to reason with the party but Heirois' hate for monsters practically forced him to kill it.
 
"A deal isn't a deal in Faerûn unless you shake my hand." Heirois demanded as the nothic appeared with threats.
 
With apologetic eyes the Witcher looked to his compatriots and grabbed the nothic's hand and pulled it close whilst drawing and stabbing his blade into his stomach. Witcher pulled the sword out and slammed it back into the nothic's shoulder as Eldred shadow stepped across the room and stabbed two massive holes into its hide. Osa fired four arrows into the nothic before it gave us a soul chilling smile before he issued a threat and disappeared.
 
"I will see you in the dark, liar."
 
Down lower under the manor the party faced down some bugbears, Heirois slayed a bugbear named Mosk, and then they questioned a goblin named Droop. It told them that the southern bridge under the manor was a trap activated by more weight then a goblin. He then lead the party to the nothic's stash where, from a box, Heirois drew a sword from a black scabbard with Talon written on it. The sword was of beautiful make and had a hilt shaped to be a bird with its wings spread, Heirois thought it to likely be famous. After Droop guided The Outsiders toward the leader of the gang, Heirois decided not to let the virgin blood letting of Talon in his hands be a goblin named Droop.
 
When Eldred looked through the keyhole of the leader's workshop door, he shadow stepped though the hole and slaughtered a rat that was acting as a lookout for the leader. Then Eldred pushed into the mage's room and with several artistic blows with the hilt of his knife, he knocked out the mage in just a moment. Osa and Heirois then flooded into the room, Eldred bound and gagged the man, Heirois noticed that he was trying to create potion of invisibility with the notes Eldred took, Osa found a secret passageway out, and then Heirois found some vials of components in a chest on the floor. The group opted to take the mage back out the way they came. After he was locked up, they came back the next day and run off the thieves. The Outsiders found some captured locals and returned them to town but don't find the dwarves. The party ended up finding plenty of goods to sell off.
