Theodor decided to stop at the same jewel shop as Sirus for a similar gem-cutting deal. However, upon pocketing some money made from selling the cut gems, he noticed that something new was in his coin purse: a finger with an attached note.

			===A Day in the Life===
			Theodor identified a small finger (not a thumb). Ulrich makes his way to the jail. Sirus looks through his 8"x12" barred window at the wall next door.
			Theodor asks Selena to read a note, "''If you want the rest of the kid back in one piece, break Connors out by nightfall tomorrow and bring him to Hardwood Glen''."

			Theodor believes that the finger belongs to his brother, Petyr.

			Selena suggested that the two of them meet up with the others to share this information.

			Theodor waited outside the jail while Ulrich and Selena paid 10 Pp for the release of Sirus.

			Selena asked questions about the jail and Ulrich confirmed that Connors was still locked up.

			Theodor stopped Sirus from leaving to go his separate way, by convincing him to help find his brother. Sirus paid Selena for her portion of the bail money.
			Theodor offered Sirus a portion of his cut jewels to help kill whoever captured Petyr.

			Theodor also showed the party the small ornate box sealed with a white wax stamp in the form of and eye with wings and mentioned that the next job for Mr. Lau is to deliver the box to Lord Markelhy.

			Everyone ate lunch and then went to [[Matilde's Bookery]] to look for Petyr or clues to his whereabouts. Matilde from the bookstore said she hadn't seen the boy since the other day when Theodor left the rancid burnt hide hanging from the door when he visited.

			Sireus and Selena purchased books and the party left to pick up some supplies at the local Arrow-Mart. As they traversed the city, Theodor and Sirus watched for followers in the shadows.

			Ulrich healed Sirus' leg.

			The party then went to the Serentonian equivalent of projects to visit Theodor's apartment. Within they heard footsteps.

			Theodor tried to silently open the door and saw a dark figure in front of the window which he instinctively threw a knife at.

			The knife glanced off of the armored skin of the dark-scaled Vodelig, who explained he had only come for the things Theodor stole from Lord Malis. Specifically, the horn, a bag of gems, a fancy coat a medallion and a ring. Barring those items, he's to bring back Theodor to explain to Lord Malis. Combat ensued outside Theodor's apartment with the Vodelig tossing multiple exploding potions and catching many of Sirus' arrows before barricading himself into the apartment.
			Moments later he burst from the window of the 2nd floor apartment to land on Sirus in the street below, but fell just short. After another brief melee, Theodor stabbed the dazed creature in the eye and the party drug him back into the apartment where they interrogated him and healed him.

			Tirang, the Vodelig, mentioned that he thinks attacking the jail under the watch of the [[Serentonian Guards]] is suicide and that the boy is almost dead. He told that he has worked for the BloodGhost Syndicate in the past, but was currently working for Malis. As Sirus fell asleep in Petyr's broken bed, a deal was struck up. Tirang would help find information about Petyr in trade for the gems and medallion, then he would take Ulrich to speak with Skorziak, whom he said he could help.

			Theodor and Tirang left the others resting in the apartment to go gather information.

	As Selena wandered around Serenton, she stopped at several chruches to make some significant donations. Suddenly, she was approached by a woman from the market. She explained that she was a representative of Don Lau, who needed to speak with her immediately. At first unsure, Selena followed the woman down several winding streets before ducking into a small tent. In this tent was a trapdoor.

As Selena wandered around Serenton, she stopped at several chruches to make some significant donations. Suddenly, she was approached by a husky-voiced sultry woman from the market. She explained that she was a representative of Don Lau, who needed to speak with her immediately. At first unsure, Selena followed the woman, later introduced as [[Shantel]] down several winding streets before ducking into a small tent. In this tent was a trapdoor. Although loath to enter, Selena crawled down into the darkness, where she did indeed meet Don Lau down below, sitting at a candle-lit desk.

	Not far behind, a small orphan boy led Theodor away from the miners to the same tent. After flirting with the woman, he crawled down the ladder to meet Don Lau and Selena. The Don eagerly questioned them about the horn, urging them to keep it as safe as possible. He went on to explain that someone was looking for the party, although he did not say who. He mentioned a White Watcher having a use for them and another man who wanted them dead. He also mentioned dismay that Pyrrus, a friend of his, was dead. Selena and Theodor were slightly confused, but did not have time to explain. Theodor heard someone behind them, and when he turned to look, a flaming bottle came flying out of the darkness. Although no one was seriously hurt in the explosion other than some minor burns to Selena, they were now alone in the dark and Theodor's new coat had been ruined. Feeling their way through the dark, Selena and Theodor found a trapdoor into the sewers. From there, they were greeted by Don Lau, who mysteriously led them out of the sewers without a sound. He asked them to bring the horn to his contact, the woman who had led them there, and paid them for their work. Leaving through a manhole, Theodor and Selena agreed to meet back at the Bed and Breakfast.		Not far behind, a small orphan boy led Theodor away from the miners to the same tent.

	Selena went straight back to Todd and Timothy's, where she found Nathaniel and Ulrich poring over their own books. She explained what happened, and Ulrich began formulating a plan. In order to keep the horn safe, he proposed finding a decoy horn, which Theodor and Selena, who were obviously known to their enemies, could carry, while he, who was unknown, could carry the real horn. Coming to an agreement, Ulrich met up with Sirus and left to purchase materials, while Selena kept watch over Todd and Timothy's.

Sirus also stopped at the shop of a jeweler to get his uncut gems polished. Ulrich commented on Sirus's strange obsession with bats while he carried Sirus's arrows in his arms. Theodor, meanwhile, made contact with Petyr, explaining all that had happened over the next few days. Giving a large sum of money to Petyr to get some nice things for their flat, he asked Petyr to read into some of the names Theodor had heard while on his adventure.

	Unfortunately, as the two left the hotel, Theodor stumbled out of an alley across the street and made eye contact. Sensing their purpose, he began striding away from the hotel. The two men began following. They all began quickening their pace. Theodor rounded the corner by the main street and spotted Ulrich and Sirus. Walking straight towards them, he signaled them to pretend that they did not know him. As he got close, Theodor made a show of bumping into them clumsily while whispering "stall them." He then ducked into a nearby alley.		Unfortunately, as the two left the hotel, Theodor stumbled out of an alley across the street and made eye contact.

Ulrich began spilling the arrows on the ground and making a show, attempting to block off the sidewalk. The two men attempted to shove past, but Sirus grabbed the bugbear and began berating him for being so rude. The bugbear spat on Sirus's head in response. Losing his cool, Sirus nocked an arrow to his bow, just in time to get charged. The arrow managed to pierce the bugbear's vitals and the two crashed to the ground. Sirus stunned the other swordsman with a spell, then attempted to help Sirus. Unfortunately, while trying to strike the bugbear with his staff, he slipped and fell on a growing pool of blood. Sirus and the bugbear clashed, with the bugbear headbutting and swiping with a mace. However, Sirus managed to pierce the bugbear's skin with a poisoned dagger, causing him to lose consciousness. At that moment, the Serentonian guards appeared. Sirus and Ulrich loudly protested their innocence, while the third swordsman came out of his trance to see a Serentonian spear pointed in his direction. The guards decided to arrest the lot of them.

			Meanwhile, in the alley, Theodor ducked into a random doorway. Finding himself in a bakery, he claimed that he was a lost bard looking for Timothy and Todd's. The baker politely shooed him out, and he began walking back to the B&B, just in time to see his companions being marched away by the guards.

			Back in the B&B, Selena asked Theodor what happened. Theodor acknowledged that Ulrich and Sirus were arrested, but refused to spend his money to bail them out. However, he relented to Selena's protests, and walked down to the jailhouse.

			In jail, Ulrich and Sirus were questioned separately by Dildonius, Captain of the Guard. Dildonius explained that their two assailants were members of the Bloodghost syndicate, and were not to be trifled with. Sirus was quiet, but claimed that he acted in self-defense. Ulrich began questioning Dildonius about the Bloodghost syndicate, claiming that Dildonius needed to take a new approach to fighting the syndicate and that he was welcome to learn more about infiltrating criminal groups at the House of Knowledge. Dildonius was surprisingly warm to the idea.

			After briefly stopping at a theater shop to inquire about makeup, Theodor arrived at the jail. He was told that, if the bugbear died, Sirus would be charged with murder. Theodor waited for Ulrich to be released. Upon release, Ulrich gave Dildonius a letter, allowing him or any of the guard to study freely at the House of Knowledge. In a rare moment of conscious, Theodor whispered to Dildonius that Stenn, a member of his guard, was an informant for Malis and was helping to protect his slave trade.

			Theodor and Ulrich left for a little while, and then returned to try and pick up Sirus. They were told that Sirus had two options: pay at 10-plat fee, or stay in jail for two months and pay a reduced fee.

	Moving back downstairs, the party settled down in some easy chairs for a well-earned rest, while Theodor proceeded to search the rest of the rooms, anxious for more wealth. While searching, he found the kitchen, where two slaves were cleaning up, completely unaware of the invasion. Theodor freed them and persuaded them to make a late-night meal for the rest of the party. Going back to the common room, Theodor tried the key from the sex slave on the stone door there. Incredibly, it opened, revealing a massive treasure room featuring fancy maps, pelts, books, and most importantly of all, a massive jewel-encrusted horn. Theodor scoured the room, acquiring a luxurious fur coat, an amulet with a color-changing crystal, and a ring that made him feel more invigorated. Nathaniel found an exhaustive book of demon lore than he keenly poured over.

After sending off the two kitchen slaves with the sex slave in tow, Ulrich knocked, but to no avail. Theodor attempted his best ~~Pyrus~~ impersonation, and another ogre opened the door from within. Manok screamed at the ogre to close the door, but Ulrich was too fast with a stunning spell that left the ~~troll~~ unable to comply. Manok ran off into the darkness, followed by Ulrich, Selena, Theodor and Kluuz. The old wizard (now referring to himself as Nathaniel) stayed outside to scrub the walls with a bath brush he had taken. Sirus used his careful aim to shoot the ogre through the eye and kill him with one shot.

	Suddenly, there was a deafening roar, and darkness began pouring out from the other end of the cave like a mist. Theodor and Sirus, paralyzed by fear, fainted. Kluuz began walking towards it, muttering the name of his God. Ulrich stood his ground, pointing his lighted staff at the oncoming darkness, while Selena ran outside to grab Nathaniel. Kluuz and Ulrich were the only members of the party who witnessed the veil of darkness pull back and saw what appeared to be a massive beast. They both promptly fainted.

			The party began searching for the horn. They decided to attempt opening the gilded and trapped door that Sirus had attempted to open. Rather than fussing with needles to pick the lock, Selenda brought a war hammer and broke the door down. Inside, they were faced with a large suit of armor. After throwing a glass at it, Theodor determined that it would not attack them. However, Theodore figured that the threshold was most likely still trap-laden. To demonstrate his theory, he shoved a couch through the doorway. The door promptly covered the couch in flame. To enter the room, Theodor gathered several blankets from the guards' quarters to shield the party while passing into the room. Inside the room they found a fancy and large four-post bed and what appeared to be a sex slave chained to the wall with a key around her neck. She made no effort to speak or resist when Selena broke her out of her chains. The lack of speech was revealed to be due to a lack of a tongue.

			Additionally, there was a small trunk that Selena smashed open after it shocked Theodor, who tried to open it with a key ring taken from the guards. Inside were several unidentifiable potions. While exploring the rest of the room, the party also discovered a desk covered with a variety of papers. Many were common receipts detailing various businesses of Malis, while a few were in an unrecognizable language. Theodor took a few scrolls that he thought looked valuable. There was also a pouch of jewels, which Sirus and Theodor split after Theodor filched a handful.

			Most frightening was a large statue behind the door of a large, tentacle-covered evil-looking being with a few chunks missing. Selena found a few of the chunks on a table, which were cold to the touch and caused her to fall into a trance while staring at the statue. Fortunately, Ulrich snapped her out of it. Finding no horn, the party jumped back through the door. Last to leave was Sirus, who spread poison all over the bed sheets and fancy clothes in the closet.

			Moving back downstairs, the party settled down in some easy chairs for a well-earned rest, while Theodor proceeded to search the rest of the rooms, anxious for more wealth. While searching, he found the kitchen, where two slaves were cleaning up, completely unaware of the invasion. Theodor freed them and persuaded them to make a late-night meal for the rest of the party. Going back to the common room, Theodor tried the key from the sex slave on the stone door there. Incredibly, it opened, revealing a massive treasure room featuring fancy maps, pelts, books, and most importantly of all, a massive jewel-encrusted horn. Theodor scoured the room, acquiring a luxurious fur coat, an amulet with a color-changing crystal, and a ring that made him feel more invigorated. Nathaniel found an exhaustive book of demon lore than he keenly poured over.

			Meeting back in the common room, the party decided that it was imperative to try and see what were behind the doors that Manok had disappeared behind. After sending off the two kitchen slaves with the sex slave in tow, Ulrich knocked, but to no avail. Theodor attempted his best Pyrus impersonation, and another ogre opened the door from within. Manok screamed at the ogre to close the door, but Ulrich was too fast with a stunning spell that left the troll unable to comply. Manok ran off into the darkness, followed by Ulrich, Selena, Theodor and Kluuz. The old wizard (now referring to himself as Nathaniel) stayed outside to scrub the walls with a bath brush he had taken. Sirus used his careful aim to shoot the ogre through the eye and kill him with one shot.

			Suddenly, there was a deafening roar, and darkness began pouring out from the other end of the cave like a mist. Theodor and Sirus, paralyzed by fear, fainted. Kluuz began walking towards it, muttering the name of his God. Ulrich stood his ground, pointing his lighted staff at the oncoming darkness, while Selena ran outside to grab Nathaniel.

	The halforc disappeared down a set of dark steps. Ulrich cast light onto his staff so that he and Selena could give chase. Meanwhile, Theodor discovered what appeared to be a torture chamber. Within, he found a set of jail cells, containing a silent Draconian and an old man claiming to be an "ancient wizard." Theodor decided to ignore him temporarily and go after his companions.

	At the bottom of the stairs, Selena and Ulrich found four guards and a large group of slaves working on stone. Suddenly confronted with a woman in shining armor cradling an axe, they went into action. Two of the guards attempted to fight her, but only did minimal damage before they were cut down. Ulrich tricked the other two guards into laying down their weapons, threatening to blast them with the magic coming from his lit staff.

			While all this went on, Sirus climbed up the sheer face of the manor. Up above, he found not only the trapdoor, but an unaware guard. Hoping to leave no witnesses, Sirus attempted to slit his throat. Unfortunately, he left little more than a bloody scratch, and the guard turned to him to fight. The guard pulled a crossbow, but fired a wild shot into the night. Sirus kept at him with a knife. In an effort to end the fight quickly, the guard grabbed hold of Sirus and dragged him to the edge, receiving wounds to the neck and groin the whole way. Unfortunately for Sirus, the wounds did nothing to deter him, and he was cast off the edge. Fortunately, his quick reflexes allowed to him to not only take the guard with him, but to grab hold of the ledge at the last moment. However, the guard was also quick and grabbed Sirus's leg, causing them to both fall down the side of the manor. Surprisingly, Sirus was able to fall on top of the guard, causing him to take no more than a few scratches. The other guard, with less luck, succumbed to his previous injuries as well as a high fall and the crushing blow of Sirus's body. Dusting himself off, he got ready to begin anew.
