The Evening Meal

  Meet Zhanthi Merchant Prince of Gems, Jewellery, Cloth and Armour, gives a prize of ancient native armour to Fang.   Flask of Wine and River Mist are both leaving as they enter.   Zhanthi has heard of people getting sick. We told her about Inete's vision, she said 'interesting' has heard of the Red Robes - some of the Red Wizards of Thay being in the city - possibly a worry. Known to seek magical power to go up in society - at any cost. Highest ranking in search of becoming Liches. Have shaven heads and covered in tattoos.   Zhanthi's son Shago is at Fort Beluarian, would like us to deliver a message and take some actions. He's supposed to be reporting back about the flaming fists. Suspicious of Blaze Liara Portyr but Shago, has been sending back very little useful info. Wants us to inform Shago she is not happy and find evidence of things going on - doesn't wish to accuse without evidence but believes there is something relating to priates. Pirate attacks are increasing and their knowledge of departing and arriving ships is uncanny.     Late in the evening, leave Zhanthi's to return to the Thundering Lizard, all except Kailyn Tharamor get drunk on the way home.    

Attack in the alley

  2 humanoids with slight serpent like features   3 humans with Blue Triangle tattoos   1 Humanoid poison archer stood in the shadows far back that escaped.   Kailyn Tharamor and Fang return after Bjorn Lovehammer and Yesne Brightstar have gone to bed. Kailyn Tharamor removes the skin with the tattoo (to keep).
