 Upstairs she finds a score or more sleeping pallets each with a sack on top. Inside the sack is a set of common clothes and a leather wrapped bundle contained a fired clay bottle and a very well-made dagger. She takes on the bundles and sneaks downstairs. She gets past a very heavy door with a complex lock – revealing a large hole dug in the floor. A nearby knotted rope looks to be the only safe way up and down. The sound of flowing water can be heard below. Upstairs she finds a score or more sleeping pallets each with a sack on top.

 Briz examines her find – discovering that the bottle contains ensorcled spider venom. Unfortunately it nearly overcomes him, causing him to drop the bottle which breaks. Fidget reveals that she is working for the [[people:​Donat Lange|Lord Marshall]] and they must get the information to him. She takes Briz to Master [[people:​Friedgart]],​ a potter, who passes along the information. Fidget and Briz return to Briz’s room for some supper and await the Lord Marshall'​s response. Briz examines her find – discovering that the bottle contains ensorcled spider venom.

-[[people:Amer Terrente]], [[people:​Pox]],​ and [[people:​Xarth]] work together to come find out the pieces moving around the trading house. Pox heads to the docks to inquire about the thugs that attacked [[people:​Cristobal Erasmus]]. He find out that a Mladovian named [[people:Waclaw]] has been hiring men for a upcoming job. There are also rumors that [[people:​Girardino da Liovla]] has given money to many dock hands to be ready to come when he calls them.+[[people:amer_terrante]], [[people:​Pox]],​ and [[people:​Xarth]] work together to come find out the pieces moving around the trading house.

 Xarth, with a list of employees, searches for one with a limp. The assassin was definitely someone Pox remembers from the trading house, but he did not know him by name. However, he was limping after the fight in the warehouse. Xarth gets the same information from the first three houses. Girardino sent a messenger that he had re-opened the trading house and needed them to return to work. Only the messenger knew where the location was and he left with the employees. Sensing something wrong, Xarth returns to Amer's house. Xarth, with a list of employees, searches for one with a limp.

-Fidget and Briz are drinking, story-telling,​ and waiting for word from the Lord Marshall – when they notice a slovenly man look them over before scurrying out the door. They follow him and find that he was paid by someone to locate them. The man says that he represents Girardino da Liovla ​and wants their help to negotiate a neutral ground for a meeting with Amer. He claims that Amer has sent assassins after Girardino and he demands a public meeting area. With great reluctance Briz goes to Amer's house and gives him the news. Along the way they stop in Master Friedgart and get word that the Lord Marshall wants them to investigate the building as he believes something will happen tonight.+Fidget and Briz are drinking, story-telling,​ and waiting for word from the Lord Marshall – when they notice a slovenly man look them over before scurrying out the door.

 In the next confusing moments Pox hits the other box and pins down the first group. The second group pushes forward, but Amer grabs up Cristobal and sprints for the crowd. He manages to lose the trailing group and the pinned group manages to flee into the crowd as well while Pox is running down the stairs toward the street. In the next confusing moments Pox hits the other box and pins down the first group.

-Pox, Amer, and Cristobal reach a safe house that Pox knows but has never used. Once upstairs Cristobal asks Pox to retrieve some documents for him. When Pox returns Cristobal says that these documents prove that the [[lore:Vulfgrau Trading House]] wants civil war in the city and that Amer and his uncle, [[people:Tycho Terrente]], are tied up in everything. He never took them to the Lord Marshall because Girardino captured him by then. The documents are definitive proof, but given Cristobal'​s weakened state Amer manages to convince him the documents are wrong.+Pox, Amer, and Cristobal reach a safe house that Pox knows but has never used.

 The most dangerous bit of information Cristobal has gathered is the information about a Cult of [[lore:​Danshi]] in the city. Danshi is the demon-goddess of slaughter and is probably the only universally reviled figure in any pantheon. He says that a blood priestess will arise in the city wielding the [[lore:​Bloodstaff]] and call forth a Reaver army to overrun the city. The most dangerous bit of information Cristobal has gathered is the information about a Cult of [[lore:​Danshi]] in the city.

 Outside the room, Briz cannot seem to stop the creature from joining with him again until the [[lore:Soul Metal|Incar]] intervene. They expand and encase his arm in their body turning it into a weapon to fight the spirit. Briz opens himself up to the Incar and banishes the spirit back into the [[lore:​Shadow Realms]]. He is barely standing in a constable with squard of dwarves charge in. The dwarves look with disgust at Briz’s arm, while the constable tries to straighten everything out. Outside the room, Briz cannot seem to stop the creature from joining with him again until the [[lore:Soul Metal|Incar]] intervene.

-While the [[creatures:​dwarf|dwarves]] of the [[atlas:Stonearm Clan]] clear the rest of the rooms Xarth, Briz, and Fidget go into the storm tunnels following some small echo of Esideor power. After a couple of hours they are forced to give up the chase and make their way to the exit as they cannot find their entrance anymore. They reach the large washout where many of the drains flow into the bay just as the sun begins to set.+While the [[creatures:​dwarf|dwarves]] of the [[orgs:stonearm_clan]] clear the rest of the rooms Xarth, Briz, and Fidget go into the storm tunnels following some small echo of Esideor power.
