- Raiàn drags herself upright, then casts Magic Missile on LG2 for 10 force dmg, and he is no dead.
- Osiris walks over to Raiàn and heals her for 14 HP with a level 2 Cure Wounds
- Rusty starts checking the bodies for loot or identifying marks like tattoos and he finds 50 GP, some of them have tattoos, but they don't look like gang signs, and he also finds a note in one of the lean guys that is a picture drawn by his kiddo (Stick figures "For Daddy")
- Osiris lays the corpses out respectfully, closes their eyes, and says a prayer for each
- Theophania checks the room and find a niche with a bottle with an unknown liquid in, so she pockets it
- Rusty then checks behind the third door where neither of the bad guys tried to run and there's another tunnel
- Osiris takes the time to take a few steps up each tunnel and smells each. The one where BG1 fled the air smells slightly freshers, the second one smells musty and damp, and third one smells about the same as the battle room, so it may lead to a different part of the sewers
- They all agree to head down the one that Osiris thinks leads deeper underground, and just a little way up the tunnel, there's a side door
- Theophania checks if it's locked, and it's not so she opens it. There's a bunk room with spare sets of clothes behind the door. Like a crash pad.
- They close door and move on.
- Farther up the tunnel they start to hear running water. A lot of it.
- They come up to where a by-pass canal with a parked row boat is hidden behind carefully cultivated plant life. The city is not visible from inside.
- There is also an office in a small alcove off to the side. Raiàn finds paperwork that's all written in a cipher
- Theophania's ears perk up when she hear Raiàn cursing the coded papers, so she comes over and stuffs everything she can grab out of the desk and stuffs it all into her Bag of Holding
- Raiàn tries to break the dagger in the desk drawer, but is unsuccessful
- Osiris ties a rope to the little boat and Rusty holds the other end and lets her out just until she can see where the hidden canal is (just south of the Golden Bridge near the Temple and north of the docks), then she rows backwards a little bit and Rusty pulls her back in.
- They then shove the boat out into the river and head back up the tunnel
- They don't hear anyone coming, so they head up the next tunnel that smelled the same as the junction room
- This tunnel leads to another room that is a store room.
- Stored in the room are food, weapons (at least one barrel are orcish made), medical supplies, and clean water
- Osiris does not Detect any Magic
- While everyone else is poking through the barrels and crate, she finds a hidden compartment in the back with 100GP and a large-ish sapphire
- The gem is not magical.
- The last tunnel is very twisty and leads to a trap door that opens in an alley just across from the Beard and Barrel. The trap door has a layer of street cobbles on it so it blends in with the street.
- Theophania makes a note about the 23rd cobble 6-over from the corner of the building being the one to lift for the trapdoor
- Osiris pops into the Beard and Barrel to check for Jimmy or BG1 who got away, and neither are in there.
- Osiris makes plans with Rusty to fetch the dead bodies for the Temple and the other three head to the library to work on the Code
- While Osiris and and Rusty are carting dead bodies up from the battle scene when a couple of city guards approach them.
- Osiris gives a long rambling explanation that is basically the truth and she and Rusty give their real names to them
- Rusty smooths it over a bit with a slightly less garbled explanation about investigating deaths that shouldn't be happening and how they were searching the sewers to check that the dragon who attacked the marketplace the other day (yesterday?) hadn't gone in there
- Meanwhile back at the library, after their hour or two of working on the coded notes, there's a pounding at the study room door where Lyrielle, Raiàn, and Theophania have set themselves up.
- Magnus explains that a bunch of people wearing all black and masks took Callie and left a note that read, "Surrender yourself at the Black Dog tonight with the goods you've stolen or you'll only see pieces of her again."
- 900 XP ea for 6,840 XP total ea.
