The Black Market Report

General Summary

Players met Aurora Blackmark, an awkward and somewhat annoying but very competent Monk and Yeoman. They received the mission to locate the “Auroid Objects”. They first talked to the jaded and psychologically damaged Wils Walder and securing a Sphere he had been reluctant to return. The group split up and talked to Qa’Léb Jabari and Lumin Al’Qadr for more info.
 The mage Qa’Léb was studying the Spheres and had few answers but said that the spheres were communicating through the Aether (beyond the physical world) and were made of an otherworldly material and had no signs of workmanship. 
The fence Lumin was seemingly forthright in informing the team about an upcoming meeting involving the sale of a sphere, but still did not seem entirely trustworthy.
On the way back after the meting, Alzu encountered a sick man he had seen previously, bearing the marks of the Spheres’ ill effects. They traced him to the block of 15-20 Blackfeather Alley.
The party was ambushed on the way to observe the meeting at The Quiet Fountain, an inn in a shady part of town where a Sphere would be sold. With the help of a sympathetic crowd, and Aurora Blackmark, the PCs killed all but one of the eleven assailants.

Rewards Granted

The assassins had a total of 300 silver pieces between them. They left behind an assortment of daggers, clubs, and short bows. Most of their armor was too destroyed to use however two suits of padded leather armor were left in working condition.

Notes

Yeoman Wils informed the team that he was going to retire and go back to his family farm in Idrion, saying that things he had to do to infiltrate the Cult of Taron put the events that drove him away from there into perspective. 

The party believes that Lumin Al’Qadr sent the assassins. Perhaps the dismembered escapee can help confirm or dispel this theory.

The party has not yet met Inquisitor Reyes who is investigating the Cult of Taron, who used to have an orb and may know something about them.
