Illicit Dealings With Illicit Men

We went to investigate the apothecary that Lord Crudalix asked us to investigate, as he was interested in potentially partnering/owning the illegal business being ran on the basement. While the other three investigated inside the building and conversed with the owners during the day, I stayed outside and inspected the surroundings. While outside I felt like I was being watched, after looking around for a second I spotted a large black bird sitting on the roof opposite of the apothecary. Inside the group found the hatch into the basement and bought some potions and tea from the owners. After leaving the apothecary we set off back to the Teahouse but quickly realized the bird was following us, so we set off to an inn to get food away from the Teahouse where Misha snuck off and killed the bird (possibly a familiar) and we returned to the Teahouse and made plans to infiltrate the apothecary at night.
 
After the sun set we set off to break into the apothecary, Olo and I stayed outside and acted as lookouts while Misha and Felicity snuck into the cellar. After a few minutes I heard a muffled roar come from the building, Olo and I quickly set off to investigate and provide backup if needed. Upon entering we wen to the cellar where we found a large living quarters/room where the owners stood and two half elves lied unconscious on the ground, one of them with large claw marks across their chest. I healed the while conversing with the owners about why we were there. upon hearing conversation from another room Olo and I entered to find Misha and Felicity conversing with a half elf holding a large bag of money begging us to lie to Crudalix.
 
It turned out Crudalix already was well aware and owned the illicit package delivery organization. He sent us as a test to see how hidden the ring was. The man informed us that if we told Crudalix we found it he would kill the three working in the cellar and the owners of the apothecary. The man offered us 200 gold to lie to Crudalix which we did but it left a sour taste in my mouth and a healthy distrust of Crudalix.
 
Upon returning to Crudalix we lied and told him either his information was wrong oe was to well hidden for us to find, he pretended to be disappointed but seemed contend with our report. He then told us of the information he had gathered on the Roseguard, Dawna, and the man in purple.
 
He told us that a Roseguard had entered the town with a prisoner, the description matching Dawna, and payed the priest to house the cellar of the Harmony Haven. The Roseguard and the man in purple were then seen entering the cellar with Dawna and haven't been seen since.
