Roxi, the druid, brings down a sustained period of lighting to cause the mage much damage, and eventually kill him, but not before Rhogol is killed. They find a letter on the mage from someone called Girrigz, who they remember is a powerful wererat. The letter is from Rolph, a necromancer they previously had dealings with, which implies he is behind the attempt to kill them. It also mentions a mysterious, unnamed female elf.

Racker's Alley (Old Korvosa)
Synopsis:
(Continued from previous session) The vampire spawn, still trying to run from the terrible holy symbol of Pharasma, suddenly turns into a gaseous form and slowly makes its escape. Worse, the heap of bodies thrown carelessly together in the alley start to move and another spawn emerges. Before anyone can act, Hadeon is enthralled by her beauty and starts to dance, dance, dance! Others soon start to dance, captivated by her eyes and wishing only to celebrate her beauty in the art of dance. Fasthands alone remains to fight this fearsome foe, firing bolts from his crossbow, but to little avail. Rhogol happens by and moves to assist, but he is quickly into the dancing groove and the party look doomed. However, Harp resists a new suggestion to attack Fasthands, and instead turns his attention to the beguiling spawn. He casts scorching ray, finds his target, and downs the deadly foe, which becomes a vaporous cloud and disappears back into the pile of bodies.

The party suddenly find their feet, no longer compelled to dance. They follow, moving aside the bodies to discover a small gap enough for them to climb through. They gain access to the toy shop, an eerie and strange place, and see a trap door. They open it, trying to kill the spawn in its lair, but below they see the faces of more of the foul creatures staring back at them (to be continued)...

Trail's End, Racker's Alley (Old Korvosa)
Synopsis:
With the sickness surging in Korvosa and Cressida Croft otherwise engaged, the PC's are invited for a hearty meal by Tayce Soldado. Taking up the offer, they are also asked to investigate the area for signs of anything that may help understand the plague better, as they will be near where the ship was sunk. The planned evening of entertainment goes badly wrong, however, when they are attacked in Trail's End by a gang of Varisian thugs. The combat is vicious. The leader of the gang casts a spell on himself and then attacks Thog, flanked by one of his Varisian colleagues. Thog takes a couple of hits, but can take no more and is killed. The thugs are eventually killed, though the leader escapes, and the evening at Tayce's is a more sombre affair. Roxi's suggestion to stick Thog's corpse in the corner while they ate was, however, not well received.

A few days later, they are asked to go investigate another pile of bodies in Racker's Alley (Old Korvosa). It is fairly routine, with the bodies discovered in an alley next to a toy shop. It is evening when they approach, but things soon take a turn for the worst when they are attacked by a foul vampire spawn. Hadeon raises his holy symbol of Pharasma from which the foul creature flees. They make chase in order to kill it and with the use of Roxi's summoned bat manage to grapple it and all is looking good. However (to be continued)...

Synopsis:
The PCs receive a message from Vencarlo Orisini asking for them to call him a visit. Upon arriving there, he acts strangely and they soon found out why - Trinia Sabor, who is being sought throughout Korvosa, is in his custody. He explains that Blackjack brought her here, but that it is not safe and she needs to be escorted out of the city. The party agree to do this, though some reluctantly so, and she is eventually helped to escape. They later visit Ishani at the Bank of Abadar. Plague is now spreading throughout the city, as it appears to be deadly and spreads fast. There is a struggle to get past the crowds of sick, but eventually meet with Ishani, who explains his concerns and his desire to meet Cresida Croft. The PC's escort him safely, but upon arriving at Citadel Volshyenek they find Cressida Croft in the courtyard with the company of Dr. Davaulus, Plague Doctors and Grey Maidens, who are a new organisation put together by Queen Illeosa to assist with the plague, though who also appear to have considerable authority. The adventurers question how the doctors could have arrived so soon from overseas - very fortuitous. Finally, Cressida asks the PCs to visit the Gray District, where bodies are being dumped. They find two piles of bodies and encounter an otyugh. After killing it, they burn the corpses.

Brienna, they discover, is sick with an unknown illness and near death. They cannot yet cure the girl, but heal her enough to get her story: she found a coffer with coins in it on the coast of the Jaggare River near Northbridge and became sick soon after this. They remember hearing about rumours of a ship that was sunk there by the city watch. They also contract the sickness themselves, though are later cured by scrolls provided by Cressida Croft. The girl is also later cured. During this time, they are visited by Zellara, who warns them of ill omens to come. She also provides them with another Harrow reading.

After some well deserved rest, they hear the whereabouts of Grau, who they find in a drunken state in an inn. After several more drinks, they return with him. However, an aerial fight between pseudodragons and imps interrupts their journey and they attract the attention of an irritating imp. Grau spends the combat singing loudly and swinging wildly, until Thog grabs the annoying little creature and Roxi pours acid down its neck. On their return, they meet with Cressida Croft and Vencarlo Orisini. Cressida explains that Chelaxian ambassador called Darvayne Gios Amprei is intending on doing Korvosa some harm. However, they believe a criminal called the King of Spiders may be able to help.

Places:

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.

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.

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.
