We returned to the townhouse – having decided to attack the gang’s headquarters the very next night. This left Aerwyn time to do some research on the statue in front of the Hospital. She learned the statue was very old. It predated Nyrond, having been erected by the Theocracy of the Pale to honor their Priest-General Maddox.
She returned from the archives to find the others still resting. Night fell, midnight came and we headed out into the darkness.
The tenement house was easily broken into after Saphie put the lookout to sleep. The two figures guarding the courtyard were easily dispatched. But when Wolfram unlocked and opened the door to the gang’s apartment – he was the target of multiple crossbows. This signaled a running fight throughout the apartment complex, through various rooms and up and down stairs including the adjoining apartment. We found drugs and stacks of money in a few rooms as well as some friendly hounds that gang members had been using in the kitchen. We fed them with the contents of the larder.
Down the steps into the basement, we faced the toughest fight so far. Four thugs and the gang leader. Aerwyn cleared out the thugs with a well placed Scorching Ray but the leader proved to be of sterner stuff. He took out both Wolfram and Sir Thabo before finally falling under our attacks,
After recovering and healing Wolfram and Sir Thabo, we searched the basement room. In a corner, we came across a cupboard unit that swung open. Here was the entrance to the hospital.
