Note arrived by Urchin Mail addressed to The Righteous Others

From Vhalantru
Lord Taskerhill is causing trouble by bringing the case against Keygan Ghelve forward to Saturday the 13th of September
We would not be able to give evidence at the trial due to not being a registered adventuring party
Vhalantru had arranged with Terseon Skellerang to have the badges ready this morning
We should attend the court with our badges

On the way to court visited Vortimax Weer

Left weapons to be silvered
Ordered 20 silvered arrows

Court

Three judges

Keygan Ghelve charged with:

Aiding and abetting
Complicity to 32 kidnappings
Harbouring known fugitives

Keygan pleaded not guilty
Vhalantru calls for The Righteous Others

Taskerhill objects as TRO are not an adventuring party
TRO all smile sweetly as the adventuring badges shine in the light coming through the window, Owyn winks at Cora who scowls
We are asked to give evidence and offer up our opinion:

Anari – Not guilty
Bran – Guilty
Cass – Guilty
Kellen – Guilty
Khandalar – Not Guilty
Owyn – Guilty

After hearing further arguments and evidence the three judges retire
They come back with their judgements:

Lord Vhalantru - Guilty
Lord Taskerhill - Not Guilty
Lord Vanderboren - Guilty

Keygan is guilty and is sentenced to banishment from Cauldron ; he escapes death because of Lord Taskerhill
Keygan's shop becomes the property of the city
Owyn points out that it was a real sham we never handed over the key set of Gear Door keys we had.
Keygan is led away in chains
After the trial

Partake in some mild Stormblade baiting
Tried to arrange a meeting with Lord Vhalantru

Shortswords

We accept the job of countering this infestation

Investigation

Interview some of the victims

Same information that Terseon gave us

Meet Zyn and he tells us of some sites of Goblin graphiti that has not been washed off:

Back of Lantern Street Orphanage - "Hail Drakthar Lord of the rats"
Shrine of Pelor - "Who builds town in Volkano; stupid humans"
Vortimax Weer's front door - "Hey Cagemakers this is our town too"
Wall of the Drunken Morkoth - "Drakthar owns this"
Wall of the Drunken Morkoth - " Snerk smells of dung"

Meet with Jenya

Inform her of the Goblin problem
Jenya agrees to use the Star Of Justice

Question: What is Drakthar
Answer: Drakthar is the Bloodmonger

We spend the rest of the day resting in anticipation of the night ahead.
