We head off and arrange accommodation for the next few days at Mother Gerds Tavern, the rooms are cold but we have cold protection so weâ€™re all fine. We drop our equipment, rest up until it gets dark, and head back to the derelict offices â€“ Marcus is excited about kicking in some door.
	We observe from the end of the block and Mirage, using his illusions, sneaks up to the building. There is a large guard outside wearing half plate with a rusty, but large sword, and the smell of kerf coming from the ground floor and sewerage coming from the basement. As a ~~â€˜guestâ€™~~ is let through the front door Mirage see people lying on mats smoking. He heads back and, after some deliberation, the party decide to head in through the hole in the roof. We sneak onto the rooftops, aided by an unexpected fog, and head in through the hole in the ceiling on the third floor. The floor appears to be abandoned and exposed to the elements, is damp and mouldy.		We observe from the end of the block and Mirage, using his illusions, sneaks up to the building.

We sneak onto the rooftops, aided by an unexpected fog, and head in through the hole in the ceiling on the third floor. The floor appears to be abandoned and exposed to the elements, is damp and mouldy.

	We sneak down to the second floor which has an elderly lady a chair and ladies ~~â€˜entertainingâ€™~~ in various rooms. We create a fog an yell there is a fire, hoping that people will flee. A guard head up the stairs to investigate and we net and sap him quickly. A second guard, the one at the door, heads up soon after and gets in a few blows with his sword before we restrain him. All seems to be under control until we are Blackfired by a elderly man in one of the rooms (the boss?. We struggle with the fear and damage but fortunately he flees the building. We soon recover and lock the front door and ask those that can stand to leave.		We sneak down to the second floor which has an elderly lady a chair and ladies 'entertainingâ€™ in various rooms.

	Exploring the building further, we find a family of seven huddling in the basement. We coax them out and bring them up to the ground floor, offering them food and water. They explained they were Barovian refugees that were strongarmed into working for the gang and have been living in the cellar for several years. The are all in poor health and Mirage, a talented healer, tends to them. The confirm the dark mage was not part of the gang, but a customer that traded magic for services. We throw the two tied up and unconscious guards, Boz and Scroat, in the street. The eventually recover and run away. The working ladies loot the rooms and stay in the building, as they have nowhere else to go. Remel sets up his kitchen and cooks up a filling beef stew for everyone.

			====Return to Seagate====

			We spend the next few days recovering and Deiter decide to depart with Callus and live in a remote part of her estate. The party make their way to Bragelorne, they board a river barge that stops at even town to trade, making it to Southend a week later. We wait half a week before securing travel back to Seagate.<BR>

			We report to Marlin Spike and write up a report, they will have some decisions on how to deal with Iinnisburg. Returning to the guild we discover most of the items are of Drow manufacture and made from blood magic, so we have they destroyed. That evening we toast a successful mission and new friends over a fine port, Remel gifting Mirage and Marcus a few pints of whisky.

Towards mid morning coming to end of the swamp the ground is frozen for a few miles across, the trees are permanently frozen. Reaching the fork in the river, heading towards Dumar â€“ the land is a pitted wasteland, after all these years it should have recovered. Later in the afternoon we pass the ruins of Dumar, the ground is desolate and nothing has regrown. We see some movement in the ruins but cant tell what caused it and on the edge of the ruins see a farrow in the ground that leads into the ruins, running perpendicular to the river. It appears something heavy was recently dragged along. A ragged humanoid figure is seem shambling about, we avoid contact. ~~<BR>~~		We head out a few days later, with a few more preparation, including some wards from Marcus.

			As we leave the ruins of Dumar behind the weather clears up, the land is flat and wild â€“ it looks normal. As the evening approaches the captain anchors by and abandoned village, they occasionally have bandits so we give the ruins a check. There is no one is the village ruins but the fields were used in summer and one house looks maintained with signs of repairs and habitation, although no one has been here for months.

			The night is uneventful and we depart early, fortunately itâ€™s a quiet day and we reach the town of [[Bowcourt\|Valliere]] that evening, the Molly Bell Weather is docked there. The town is loud and boisterous.

She looks at our shabby clothes with disdain and explains there is a disused office of La Croix in Fountain Court that hasnâ€™t been used for a number of years, we should clean it up and base ourselves there, and should talk to Amelia.

	We are contemplating what to do with our five bound prisoners when thereâ€™s a knock at the door. An elder lady, Mrs Fontaine, has come to ask for her two lads Brigden and Maldren. Mrs Fontaine explains they arenâ€™t smart lads and have been roped into helping out. Afters some discussion, we release the terrified lads into her possession, and she agreed to provide us information about the gangs. As Mrs Fontaine is leaving with her lads Marlinspike walks in the door, she looks very scared at the sight of Marlinspike. We update Marlinspike about the attack and she talks the prisoners away, they will be going for a swim.

	The next three days are spend arranging some temporary repairs on the building and arranging signage ~~â€œWild~~ Frontier Distilleries". Mrs Fontaine visits and explains the Dark Mage, who people call von Bugger, is staying at a seedy inn near the docks called the ~~â€œSoiled~~ Dove" and sells his services to whoever has money. We make some various purchases and the party practise using water magics in the river.

	Riptide arrives on the barge the next afternoon with the shipment from Emmitsburg. We have the goods, a dozen barrels of winter ale and a dozen crates of spirits, taken on wagons to the ~~â€œWild~~ Frontier Distilleries". We arrange passage via the Kingdom Lines, they will only ship to Southend and we will need to arrange shipping up the river ourselves. The river is fairly treacherous due to the amount of pollution coming from Dumar- the channels are narrow and shallow.

	We head off early the next morning and ask about Batrim and Sons and it doesnâ€™t take too much time to find their offices, an old building. Mr Batrim, a distinguished older gentleman, weathered and bald, long white beard greets us.

	We head to old Seagate and find the Ship and Anchor in the middle of town. The doorman wonâ€™t let us in, but upon hearing Marlinspike's name, allows us in. We are showing to an expensive suite on the second floor and introduced to her, she is young and dressed in ornate black silk with silver filigree. She looks at our shabby clothes with disdain and explains there is a disused office of La Croix in Fountain Court that hasnâ€™t been used for a number of years, we should clean it up and base ourselves there, and should talk to Amelia.

	We head off and locate the ~~â€œofficeâ€~~ itâ€™s a run down three storied building, it looks like it might fall down soon and there are holes in the roof, the windows are boarded up and there is a large guard at the front â€“ its seems a criminal gang are working there. We decide itâ€™s a problem for later in the day and head off to see Amelia, we find her in her office near the ports. She was expecting us and makes us a cup of tea and explains the issues â€“ there were two shipments that are missing;		We head off and locate the â€œoffice" itâ€™s a run down three storied building, it looks like it might fall down soon and there are holes in the roof, the windows are boarded up and there is a large guard at the front â€“ its seems a criminal gang are working there.

	We are contemplating what to do with our five bound prisoners when thereâ€™s a knock at the door. An elder lady, Mrs Fontaine, has come to ask for her two lads Brigden and Maldren. Mrs Fontaine explains they arenâ€™t smart lads and have been roped into helping out. Afters some discussion, we release the terrified lads into her possession, and she agreed to provide us information about the gangs. As Mrs Fontaine is leaving with her lads Marlinspike walks in the door, she looks very scared at the sight of Marlinspike. We update Marlinspike about the attack and she talks the prisoners away, they will be going for a swim.

	The next three days are spend arranging some temporary repairs on the building and arranging signage â€œWild Frontier ~~Distilleriesâ€~~. Mrs Fontaine visits and explains the Dark Mage, who people call von Bugger, is staying at a seedy inn near the docks called the â€œSoiled ~~Doveâ€~~ and sells his services to whoever has money. We make some various purchases and the party practise using water magics in the river.

	Riptide arrives on the barge the next afternoon with the shipment from Emmitsburg. We have the goods, a dozen barrels of winter ale and a dozen crates of spirits, taken on wagons to the â€œWild Frontier ~~Distilleriesâ€~~. We arrange passage via the Kingdom Lines, they will only ship to Southend and we will need to arrange shipping up the river ourselves. The river is fairly treacherous due to the amount of pollution coming from Dumar- the channels are narrow and shallow.
