Anvil spends some time making sure that the couple who won the raffle are safe and do not feel any threat along with their new found wealth. He then heads to Everbright district to have his composite plating enchanted.
Ajax hires a wizard to cast animal messenger on a small bird and asks that it is sent to Fallen to contact his tribe's shaman, Yulunga. His message asks that she looks up to a bridge high above her in one months time, there Ajax will be waiting to contact her (Zol, 10th Eyre).
He also begins asking questions about the gargoyle known as 'Scrimshaw'. From what he can determine, this albino gargoyle is a sociopathic killer, sniping at his victims from balconies and ledges. He is indiscriminate and seems to kill for the sheer pleasure. Currently it is said that he is under the watchful investigation of Viktor Saint-Demain, perhaps the best inquisitive that Sharn has ever seen.

Meanwhile the rest of the group head to Lyrander Tower to see about the details of the expedition to Bluescar lighthouse.
They are informed that the light itself is a large dragonshard that is highly polished and imbued with extraordinary light magics. The dragonshard would normally sit in a mounting behind several strong lenses that slowly revolve around the lightsource. However, on the night of 6th Olarune 998 Y.K. the light at Bluescar vanished and has not been sighted since.....
House Lyrander's shipping routes on the south-eastern shores, specifically to and from Valenar and Q'Barra, have been plagued by pirates driving the ships ashore in the shallow waters around the headland. Many of these vessels were carrying valuable cargos of Valenar horses, commisioned by House Vadalis, and due to the current state of the Mournland, overland routes are impractical. They are informed that the road from Sharn heads south through the Silln Highlands to Gullsnest, a reasonably large fishing village, and from there a trail heads east to the tiny village of Bluescar.
They are informed that there have been two parties sent to inquire about the situation already but neither have returned. The House is putting up a 3000 gold reward for either the reinstatement of the shard into the lighthouse or if that is not possible the return of the shard to Sharn, both require a full statement of events so that preventative measures can be taken in future.
They agree to the contract and give their details to the clerk, Aleal d'Lyrander - Shipping co-ordinator for the south-east coast.
They then head to House Vadalis to see if they can double up their reward by completeing the task for both Houses. Unfortunately they quickly come to realise that the coin being provided by both Houses is coming from the same coffers.
The annual Street-Kind Charity Ball was held last night with dignitaries and nobility travelling from across Sharn to Crystal Springs, the beautiful home of Lady Corven Sahlmer in the Mithral Towers district of the Upper Central Plateau. As the skycoaches flew in the crowds gathered to see the rich and sequestered draped in all their finery, hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
Guests included folk from all walks of life, from the most the distingushed nobility to the most humble of street-folk. Actors, musicians, politicians and socialites rubbed shoulders with traders, blacksmiths, cogs-workers and the homeless in this wonderful event that reminds us that we are part of this great city and that we should help each other as bet as we can.
It has, however, come to the attention of this reporter that all did not run smoothly at the function. Apparently as the party was in full swing there was an attempted robbery, one of the guests had their hippogriff stolen.
As the thieves returned for a second time, reportedly for another hippogriff, they butchered the guards posted there and would have got away with the prized mount were it not for a group of unknown individuals who had the courage to stand up to the gang.
The Red Blades have been fugitives from the law for some time now and their leader, Drem Lamor, was described by Yric Oureson of the City Watch as "a criminal master-mind in the making". After a series of bloody heists the gang got their name as a force to be reckoned with and with reputed ties to some of Sharn's largest criminal syndicates the have-a-go heroes who stood up to villainy and unlawful behaviour had best watch their backs for fear of revenge.
All five members were killed in the altercation.
The Sharn Inquisitive says:
Let the heroes who brought down such a vile group of villains be decorated and recognised by the city.
There are too many good folk suffering at the hands of criminals.
With an estimated 80,000 gold pieces raised for the charity it was hailed as a huge success.
He explains that they are to be travelling to Zilspar, a journey he anticipates to be about 9 days. The roads are starting to dry out from the heavy spring rains and as a result the bandits will be heading for the roads in search of merchants. He explains that he is taking his cart to Zilspar, drawn by 2 horses, so should anyone wish to ride the wagon they are more than welcome. The wagon will be empty on the outward journey.
Aside from bandits the only other prevalent source of trouble at moment is the reported attacks of lizardmen. These lizardmen are of a tribe called the Dark Talons, they are bulkier than most lizardmen and are for some reason heading out of their normal habitats. The King's rangers are scouring the forest for traces of them but so far have found nothing. Merchants are being warned to be extra vigilant.
The group agree to meet with Chalit tomorrow morning at 8.30 outside the House Vadalis hostelry and satbles in Terminus District.
