The party returned to the Pickled Imp and handed over the books and papers to Guaril Karela. He thanked the group and provided a reward of gold for your troubles.

Having completed the last task, the party heads back to the Foreign Quarter on the way back to the Grand Lodge.

A throng of people blocks the street ahead. A performance art group commandeers the street, drawing graffiti to create a jolly hellscape complete with illusory devils comically dancing around in circles. A few citizens avoiding the crowd slip off-street through a nearby alley, the only egress past the gathering.

The party followed the flow of pedestrians to avoid the congestion ahead. A shrill whistle sounds ahead and suddenly the alley fills with a fog. The common citizens in the vicinity beat a hasty retreat.

Fergus channeled positive energy and healed Noc and Korg 4 hit points.

Ronan secured the nearby boat and piloted it under the warehouse, positioning it under the hole to act  as a safety net. Fergus cast Guidance on Noc and Jerry. The monk and ninja rigged the crane with ropes and nets. Korg stood by with a Detect Magic running and supervised his plan.

Working together the party was able to retrieve the precariously balanced chest.

The chest holds a smaller mahogany box inside, which contains five books and a few loose sheets of paper in a leather folder. The titles and subjects seem completely unrelated to each other: Practical Thaumaturgy In Accordance with Creation, Geographic Anomalies of the Inner Sea, Under Kaer Maga: A Trial and Travel, Physiology of Dragons: An Illustrated Reference, Lost Sarusan. The leather folder contains cargo manifestos, warehouse inventories, and other financial logs from a dozen different merchant houses and trade guilds.

The chest also contains 10 sets of masterwork thieves’ tools, three flasks of alchemist’s fire, a flask of acid, a dozen jars of various inks, a footprint book, adamantine weapon blanch, three bags of powder, a deck of marked cards, and two sets of average loaded dice.

The dire rat to Noc’s right attempted to bite the monk but missed.

Fergus moved forward and attacked the rat next to Korg with his rapier. The thrust skewered the rodent dealing 7 damage and killed it. Korg Stepped back and cast Acid Splash at the rat next to Noc. The spell hit dealing 4 damage to the rat. Noc stepped back to fill the space vacated by Korg. The monk slammed the rat with his fist dealing 5 damage and killed it.

Jerry moved forward and attacked the remaining rat with his katana. The swing missed. The rat tried to bite the ninja in return but it also missed. Ronan tapped his arcane pool and enchanted his weapon. The magus moved forward and took a two-handed swing at the dire rat with his scimitar. The weapon found its mark and dealt a killing blow doing 12 damage.

Fergus moved forward and cast Guidance on Ronan.

Jerry moved carefully examining the contents of the warehouse looking for occupants and traps.

Noc moved forward toward the hole in the floor. Ronan and Korg followed the monk.

As the monk, magus and sorcerer moved closer to the hole, they stirred up some dire rats. Two of the large rodents attacked Noc but both missed. Korg was also a victim of an attack. The rat climbed to the top of a stack of crates and reached out and bit the sorcerer in the neck. The attack scored a critical hit dealing 6 damage.
