General Summary
Magic orb contains three recordings. First has the group the murder of Amrik. Older: Amrik and Thalamra discussing the arrival of Thavius Kreeg. How to turn city into a “hole in the ground”. 3rd: whole Vanthampur family including Thurstwell (3rd son) spellcaster. Chants summons a devil (Chain Devil - high level) in a binding circle. Bargaining Thalamra promising souls in soul coins, gets location of Shield of the Hidden Lord located in Baldur’s Gate. We know the location underground crypt of the Thion-Hune family.
Boarded Floor Inn: Where envoys from Candle Keep could be staying. Mark and Timmy, apprentices or lower level. Went to meet with Thalamra two days ago. Group cannot gain further useful information.
Group goes to sleep. Before dawn, knocking on the door. It is Darmin Zodge. Thalamra released the elven prisoner (the one that the group was chasing for Amrik’s orb) and declared the group as outlaws. Zodge gives the group a parchment with a map of the Vanthampur estate. Helpful trusted soldiers will wait at the drainage site, Thorn and Spike. Zodge advises the group to use the map and investigate the Vanthampur estate. Vendetta Kress puts the group in a safe place under her house during the day (the group will explore the Vanthampur manor in the next night).
Nothing happens during the day. The group moves silently to the drainage site and meets the soldiers. They help with the way to the otherwise guarded upper-city. There, the group finds its way to the Vanthampur manor and begins to scout (Barakas renewed his Find Familiar Spell and changed Pepe’s appearance to the one of an owl). In one room on the first floor the group sees a slender male who seems to hold a magical stone or bowl.
