====== 2021.05.10 New Crew in Town ======

I work for DonnalKellar.  He is the master of TheTenderloin.  AraTheJuggler joined about a year ago.  ShoshaTheDancer has about 6 months with us.

We are confronted by a group of unknown thugs.  They want ShoshaTheDancer.  I refuse, and intimidate him.

++++ Flashback LuciusGhee Sent by The Uncle |
UncleSedric (known by LuciusGhee): "Your brother is not back yet." Sacrifices a gator and studies its guts.  Shakes his head.  "No, it does not bode well at all. LeopoldGhee and Hoskar should have been back a couple of days ago.  I sent them to Lankhmar to get supplies.  You need to go find them."

"There is a man named DonnalKellar (DonnalKellar) that will help you for a price.  He as a place over in TheTenderloin. 
 Ask around for him.  Bring those boys back."

++++ Flashback Bartender hits on ShoshaTheDancer |
AdalBrecht (floor manager?): Where did you learn to dance.

ShoshaTheDancer: I was trained by the best that the city elites could buy.

They discuss how ShoshaTheDancer gathers information.

++++ Flashback AraTheJuggler training with Hune |
HuneTheLocksmith is talking with AraTheJuggler.  He is training her to pick locks.  He questions her about her skills (what she can do, how she knows it).

Her weapon is called ScarletsKiss.
++++

++++ Start of the Fight |
  - Round
    - One of them hits Ara with a cudgel
    - LuciusGhee steps up and whips him (don't strike a lady), ripping out his throat.
      - I say: "He got off easy.  I'm not gonna kill you, I'm taking you to meet DonnalKellar."
    - Guy with a bow shoots LuciusGhee
    - Girl runs up to AraTheJuggler and attacks, shaking her.

++++ Flashback LuciusGhee makes a deal |
Outside TheLastChance.  He went to FashasMarket; she saw them but they bought stuff and left a couple of days back.

He goes inside, sits down and hoots at ShoshaTheDancer.  "That's gonna be my girl, you wait and see."

I sooth the lady who was at the table he sat at.

OlerickTheBartender goes over to take his order.  "I'm supposed to meet someone called Donnel.  UncleSedric sent me"

I head upstairs to check with DonnalKellar.  I bring LuciusGhee up to see DonnalKellar.

DK: "So, UncleSedric sent you?"
LG: "I'm here to find my brother, Leopold"

DK: You will have to work for me to earn help.  For now, 1 year to find and retrieve.

++++ Stop by Fasha's Market |

We go downstairs and I introduce him to AraTheJuggler and ShoshaTheDancer.  We head out to FashasMarket to trace the boys.

We head out about mid afternoon.  I stop a beggar (JimmyTheGimp) and ask him to tell BlindBob I'm looking for him.

We arrive at FashasMarket.  FashaTheShrewd owns this 3 story store.  I stop by to talk with FashaTheShrewd (ShoshaTheDancer comes inside, AraTheJuggler and Lucius Ghee stay outside).

LuciusGhee notices someone watching them.

Fasha: I heard there is a new gang, kidnapping people.  She doesn't know why.  (YearthTheCripple comes to her mind--ShoshaTheDancer is reading her mind).  I ask her about YearthTheCripple--he has seen something.

++++

++++ Follow the watcher |
We go outside and see LuciusGhee and AraTheJuggler disappear around a corner.  We catch up with them.  Someone was watching them and disappeared down this alleyway.

LuciusGhee tries to find some tracks.  We follow some tracks down the alley.  We run into several toughs.
