The group spent the remainder of the night patching up their various wounds. They decided the next morning to use Moth’s locate object spell to discern the present location of the thug leader who had led the attack on the Dented Helm. A few twists and turns later, the party stood in front of an abandoned house in the Docks District, roughly four blocks from the Helm. Moth indicated that the leader was below ground level, presumably in a basement below the house.
As the party approached the front steps, crossbow bolts whizzed out of hidden arrowslits, striking a couple of party members. Will and Moth hung back a bit to let the more combat-savvy fellows attempt to gain entrance to the place. Vivian and Spike smashed through the door on the right side of the house, while Gor-bob and Chow battered the front door. Inside the house, things turned ugly. Spike and Viv both fell into a pit trap beneath a rigged staircase, but managed to extricate themselves despite the hail of bolts coming from the second floor. Chow and Gor-bob took out a number of thugs after knocking down the front door, but were soon forced to retreat in the face of superior numbers. The party regrouped back the Dented Helm.
The next morning, Gor-bob received a message from one Togar Irontooth, a sage and instructor at the Freeport Institute, requesting a meeting at Irontooth’s office. En route to the Institute, Gor-bob and Spike happened to pass Enzo’s Tailoring. There they discovered Carmina Dell’orto, a certain young lady of Spike’s acquaintance, lying unconscious and burned on the front step of the building. She panicked when she regained consciousness, but soon calmed down enough to apologize, stating that she had no idea the group had anything to do with Enzo’s. Under the effects of Gor-bob’s Zone of Truth spell, she confessed that she was part of a group of trouble-seeking debutantes known as the Daughters of the Guild. These children of wealthy Merchant Guild members generally got together one night a week to drink and pick fights in Drac’s End. Lately, some of the Daughters had decided to add actual illegal activity to their repertoire. Enzo’s happened to the be the first location on Carmina’s list. The group began discussing what to do about the young lady.
