====== 2021.06.14 Kidnapped! ====== ++++ Weekend at Bernie's | We decide to move the prisoner to TheLastChance (carrying our "drunk friend"). As we are about to cross the street, AraTheJuggler and ShoshaTheDancer see 4 city guard (SergeantAndrus). They go to distract them. LuciusGhee and I sneak the prisoner across the street and to TheLastChance. We take him to a secret room under TheLastChance. Strip him, search him and tie him to the bed. Lock the door. * 4 bronze agols * 6 silver * 1 gold rilk ++++ ++++ Look for Yearth | We head out looking for YearthTheCripple. We find his box. I see a glistening across the alley. I hold LuciusGhee. We step over the tripwire. Wake YearthTheCripple up. He saw some guys get grabbed. Followed them to an alley off BonesAlley. ++++ ++++ This is where they disappeared | Offer him double to show us where they disappeared. He takes us there, and I pay him off. We search the area. We find a thin crack in the wall (hard to see except for the right angle). We shine a lantern in and see a run down hovel, but there is a door that seems in better repair leading further into the building. I listen (someone snoring). Door is locked. I ask AraTheJuggler to get it open. She picks it open. ++++ ++++ Hideout | The door leads to some short steps down to a basement room, dimly lit. There is a man sleeping at a table in the middle of the room. There is another man sitting in a worn chair at the far wall. LuciusGhee moves up to the guy at the table, AraTheJuggler and ShoshaTheDancer go to the man in the chair, and I go peak at a doorway in the far corner. Opens up into a dimly lit room with several beds along the wall. LuciusGhee knocks out one with the pommel of his knife. I move up towards the barracks(?) room. We hear sounds and then a burst of laughter from that room. I peek in. There are 5 people (1 sleeping) and a couple of dogs. I gesture at the others to come over. ShoshaTheDancer knocks out the other man in the first room. ++++ ++++ Rush 'em | - Round - ShoshaTheDancer moves up, touches me on the arm and casts deflection (3 shadowy spirits begin to swirl around me). - I run up into the room, past a dog which bites at me, but misses.

Long Hair: Cages LuciusGhee runs into the back room. "Leopold!" "Where you at boy" "Dave?" The boys are in a cage in the far corner. The slavers mentioned selling them to ship captains. I tell them they were freed by DonnalKellar Leopold's friend has a broken leg, and LuciusGhee splints him up. DarvinWells - one of the captives. Seems slightly better dressed. Offers his help. Loot the bodies and prisoners: * 52 iron ticks * 8 bronze * 7 silver smerdics * 5 gold rilks ++++ ++++ Retribution | Talk to DonnalKellar and he has us kill them and make an example of them.
