Grau spends the combat singing loudly and swinging wildly, until Thog grabs the annoying little creature and Roxi pours acid down its neck.

Synopsis:
The party head over to All the World's Meat, where they scout it out. It appears to be legitimate, and they are given free meat after queueing. Ophellia has her raven keep an eye over the shop at night and it follows the movement of two men who are seen murdering someone and returning the body to the butchers. They surmise the meat may well be humanoid (even if not all of it). They break in late at night but struggle to get through the door, alerting those inside. They make their way upstairs where they encounter Vascaskerkin and his henchmen. The combat seems to be going easily, but the tide turns and the adventurers find themselves on the backfoot. Both Hadeon and Thog are knocked unconscious, but they eventually prevail and Vancaskerkin is knocked unconscious.

Synopsis:
A search of Gaedren's disgusting personal quarters revealed, amongst the loot, a special broken brooch, which attracted the PC's attention - as did the head of the clearly long dead Zellara. They also recovered her harrow deck. After holing up for the night, with violence breaking out for large part of it, they spent the next couple of days laying low as the city erupted into riots, until eventually they were able to sell their loot. The brooch turned out to be one lost by Queen Illeosa, to whom they returned it.

The Queen was extremely grateful and called upon the PCs to serve in her guard to help calm the city and bring it to its senses. They were enrolled under Field Marchall Cressida Croft into the Korvosan Guard, and were told of Vancaskerkin, a deserter who was holed up in a place called All The World's Meat.

NPC's mentioned:

Places:

Synopsis:
After looting the blood covered corpses, the PC's continued their search for Gaedren Lamm. Hadeon realised that they seemed to be above a room, or an area of some kind below. A search of the Old Fishery discovered Lamm's Lambs, with Hookshanks - a mean gnome disguised as one of the children - urging them onto combat. Some heavy hitting saw one of the Lambs pummelled to the ground, and two more knocked unconscious before Hookshanks was killed and the rest of the children ran off. After resting and questioning one of the children, the PCs used the rickety old wooden walk way to the side of the Old Fishery to make their way around the building, but it collapsed under Hadeon and he fell through, accidentally discovering another walk way directly below.

Discovering a secret door in an old ship moored there, as well as a door leading to a building underneath the Old Fishery, the adventurers chose the secret door, which crumbled away as they opened it. Simultaneously, Gaedren and Gobblegut emerged from the door and combat followed. With the PC's caught on the narrow walk way. and with spiders at one end and Gaedren at the other, the tight constraints made for heavy going. However, after Gobblegut was finally killed, the chase for Gaedren proved not so difficult and the hobbling old man was soon knocked unconscious and captured.

The Old Fishery
Synopsis:
After questioning and burying poor Roger "Blue Eyes" into a chest, with all the dirty pants and socks, and searching the building, the PC's find some documents that mention "The Old Fishery". Some information gathering in the local area leads them to an old building on the dockside known for selling fish cakes, which they stake out and also go try buy some of the fish cakes, which turns out to be more like fish slop and not altogether tasty. They are served by some of the Lambs, who also manage to pilfer some coins from Holmar, and get a general feel for the building.

Later that night they return to break into the Old Fishery, but catch the attention of some of the occupants. Fasthands was immediately struck in the face and Thog almost taken down by a giggling half-orc. Two young well-trained hand-to-hand fighters also entered the combat, along with a heavily armoured dog. A wand wielding old man tried to zap them several times with his wand, but unsuccessfully so, and who seemed to spend most of his time cursing at his useless wand. Ophelia was knock unconscious by one of the young fighters and after being brought around by Roxi, was immediately knocked unconscious again. However, after a tough struggle, the PCs gained the ascendency and emerged victorious.

Synopsis:
After failing to locate Gaedren Lamm's headquarters, the PC's sought out info concerning his whereabouts without success. From inns, locals, kids, and even the Korvosan Guard (who had heard of him, but otherwise had no interest), and one kid who led them to a random house after being offered a silver piece, but to no avail. Eventually they returned to their original plan and set a watch over Eodred's Walk, where more pick-pockets were spotted and chased.
A chase through the area of Midland took them into a substantial sewage system, where they ran into some rats and rescued one of the fleeing pick-pockets. After being badly roughed up by Thog, she took them to her hideout where, after slaughtering some peaceful and harmless cats, they found some info leading them to someone called Marcel "Two Daggers" on Guard Street. A tough scuffle with two thugs and Marcel saw Fasthands floored, and Marcel use trickery to lightning and deadly effect. However, Marcel and one of the thugs were killed, and another captured.
