The travelled to the King’s Head to speak to Gar Jordan and get the list of missing persons from him.   The list included: Egor Reece Harlan Koss Johnna Temple Garreth Mackie Sheff Lukas Frederick Pier   Gregory asked Gar if he knew any of these people personally, and the only one he knew was Garreth Mackie, whose parents Gar knew.   Before leaving, the party told Gar about Lady Annalise and her heterochromia and fondness for girls looking to get away. Gar told them he would investigate.   The party then made their way to Rag’s end to visit the Mackie family. They spoke with Tobias Mackie who told them his son had fallen in with the Hangmen, a local gang. The party learned that the Hangmen operated out of Rag’s End, so they went to find them.   Gregory filled a small chest with coppers and made it obvious he was carrying coin. When they arrived in a small market they noticed that a group of men were taking particular notice of them.   Gregory pretended to feint in front of them to see if they would try and steal the chest. Instead one tried to stab him while he was on the ground.   During the ensuing fight, Gregory cut one of the thugs legs off, Loodachris immolated one thug with a ball of fire.   Eiyo was able to knock two of the thugs unconscious and Graak watched the fight unfold while smoking.   One of the thugs was able to flee and the party didn’t give chase.   The final thug, the one who had tried to kill Greg while he was on the floor, was killed when Greg flanked him and drove Mercy’s Blade through his skull.   Upon doing this, the runes on Mercy’s blade began to glow.   The group interrogated one of the men they captured, using the fate of him comrades and the threat of acid to break him.   They learned that he and his comrades had been told by Zie Kari, leader of the Hangmen, to kill the party the next time them came poking around the slums.   He also told them that the Hangmen had made a deal with the Drow to provide them with able bodies in exchange for treasure.   They learned the location of Zie Kari’s estate from their prisoner and dropped him and the other unconscious thug with the guards on the way to the estate.   The party arrived at Kari estate around 12.30 and began scouting the location. It was a large property with 12ft walls and guards on the gate and wandering the grounds.   They decided to scout for a few hours and return under the cover of darkness. They stayed at the estate until around 2pm before splitting up and going about their own business.   Eiyo, Graak, Loodachris.   The trio immediately made their way to Calistra’s Kiss to speak to Nev. Graak asked him how he gets into the upper levels and Nev told them he has a friend who is a courier and often takes a wagon into the upper level. Nev is able to sneak up inside the boxes he takes up.   They asked if Nev would get them up to the upper level and he said that they would need to make him more money before he would be willing to do that.   They organised a fight for that afternoon and went to Vinder’s General Store to convince Vinder to come and bet on them for a cut of the winnings.   Vinder agreed to bet on them, and told them he would also sponser their entry fee in exchange for 40% of their winnings. They agreed and he gave them perfectly sized tunics that advertised Vinder’s General Goods.   With their plan in place, the trio returned to the Kiss and faced off against 3 of Nev;s fighters; Ella Ironfist, Bella the Brutal, and The Lion.   After a hard fight, the trio emerged victorious, with Graak defeating Ella Ironfist, and Eiyo knocking out Bella and The Lion. Eiyo was given the title of “The Huntress” and Loodachris, after a plea for support for getting in the ring as a wizard from Graak, was given the title “Lion Tamer” for going head to head with a literal lion and the named fighter.   They retrieved their winnings from Nev and their bet money from Vinder and bought the entire establishment 3 drinks each – to great cheers from the crowd.   Around 4pm, Eiyo and Graak returned to Vinder’s General Store to speak to Vinder. Graak purchased an acid Dragonsteel blade from Vinder for 750gp and a favour.   They then returned to the lodge to rest.
