Spike talked further to Carmina Dell’orto, Daughter of the Guild. She reiterated that she had no idea that the party had anything to do with Enzo’s tailor shop, or she would have steered the Daughters away. She agreed to talk to the leaders of the Daughters about Spike’s suggestion to maintain contact between the two groups, so as to avoid further unfortunate incidents, and perhaps to share information of a mutually beneficial nature.

Later in the morning, some of the group talked to the eminent orc sage Togar Irontooth at his Freeport Institute office. Togar shared some of his theories about the ancient orcish nation of Oracur, but confessed that he knew little of the contemporaneous Valossan empire. He suggested that the group consult with Husani, the Freeport Institute’s resident scholar of Valossan lore.
After the meeting with Irontooth, Will and Spike had lunch with Stannis Alensin, a diviner who works with the Sea Lord’s Guard. Will also attended to the letter from Merchant’s Guild regarding Enzo’s lapsed membership, and pursued an interview with the Dean of the Freeport Institute for possible future employment in some capacity.

Meanwhile, Chow disguised himself as a beggar and staked out a position near the Buccaneer safe house in the Docks District. He spent the day observing the house, but saw no one enter or leave. He did notice a few fellows paying a bit of suspicious attention to him, but the lookouts made no move to confront him until he was on his way back to meet up with the group. Two gang members jumped him as he left an alleyway, but he managed to defend himself, slaying one Buccaneer and leaving the other unconscious.

The group hired a rickshaw to transport the Buccaneer to the group’s house in Drac’s End. After the fellow awoke and realized his situation, he divulged some details about the safe house, its typical complement of thugs, and the location and protocol of the hidden entrance in the sewers. The Buccaneer, named Jeff, agreed that the party’s suggestion to sign on to a ship’s crew was preferable to his likely treatment at the hands of his fellow Buccaneers or the Sea Lord’s Guard, so the group escorted him to the Docks. They arranged a price with a captain, and watched as Jeff was taken aboard. As the party departed, Gor-bob paid the captain a bit of gold and watched as the fellow shrugged, stabbed Jeff, and dumped him overboard.

That business done, the group made their way to their usual haunt, the Indecipherable Scroll. Carmina showed up to hang out with Spike, and Torya Irontooth, half-sister to Togar (and Gor-bob’s recent dance partner), graced the party with her company, describing the preparations for her upcoming debut as a cast member in a performance at the Freeport Opera House. After a pleasant evening of conversation and mild scheming, the party retired for the night.

The next morning, they met Husani at his office. He spoke about the history of the serpent empire, verifying some of the information the party had gathered previously. In addition, he provided the party with a scrawled map to the alleged final resting place of the treasure of one William ‘Black-Heart Billy’ Bellmont. The treasure supposedly lay in a ruined Valossan city deep in a swamp on an island a day or two from Freeport. He requested that the party bring him any artifacts they picked up at the site.

After talking to Husani, the group met up with captain Balama Theron at the Dented Helm. As they were discussing their upcoming trip to Rana Mor at the behest of Captain Lydon, Balama’s first mate Hurm interrupted with news that the Blue Heron’s mast had broken. After a few minutes of cursing and yelling at Hurm, Balama agreed to take the party to the swampy island aboard her sloop, the Starchaser, in exchange for a share of any treasure found there.
