Interrogating the Thug

Determined to get some information out of the thug that the party captured, Dmitrii and another watchmen bring the thug to a holding cell. The watchmen tells Dmitrii that violence is not permitted against prisoners and that two watchmen need to be with a prisoner at one time to ensure that the prisoner is not harmed. The watchmen then excuses himself to go use the facilities.

Dmitrii promptly begins to beat on the thug, producing information that is only marginally helpful. He says that he was hired via a third party to rough up the party and that he has no way of getting ahold of whomever hired him. He didn't know that the group was watch members or he would've passed on the gig.


Hamstrings

Determined to put an end to being jumped in the streets, Dmitrii leads the party to a central location for the low-lives of Lone Rock City—Hammonds Inn. Entering in full sight with his Iron Men medallion gleaming on the chest plate of his armor, the bar quiets and an orc bars his way. After a few terse moments, Dmitrii explains that he is there to put an end to him and his friends being jumped. A roguish human approaches and has Dmitrii follow him into a back room.

While this is happening the rest of the party attempts to hide themselves among the crowd, so as be handy if Dmitrii needs backup.

In the back room Dmitrii meets with a man who is obscured in shadows. This man tells Dmitrii that he will help him out, provided that the terms are accepted—500 gp and a promise to look the other way when asked to. Dmitrii balked at the last request but the shadowed man assured him that nothing dark and sinister would occur when that happened and then continued onto a rant, saying that the city belonged to the people of the city, not the nobles who happened to be born into their positions. Each person in the city should matter. Despite the fact that Dmitrii was speaking with an obviously high-ranking guildmaster, he found himself agreeing with the man's arguments.


Escorting Evan to the Sea Elves

Having been assigned the task by the great and honorable King Talen, the party gathered the prisoner at the Halls of the Even-Handed. Wanting to make certain that Stormhandle was removed from the city in shame, he was placed into a prisoner cart and taken in the least direct route out of the city. Many of the common folk saw this and displayed their patriotism by throwing vegetables and small rocks at the seemingly unbothered prisoner.

Right before leaving the city one of the troupe of watchmen who were assigned to go with the party can be seen signaling someone unseen. Robhim immediately tells that man that he is dismissed and the man balks, saying that he was signally to his son to not follow out of the city. His son is growing and will soon be a man and wishes to join the guard. After some arguing where some of the other guards pitch in against the man being dismissed, a rider is sent to get the boys son to prove the truth of his words. When the rider comes back with the son, Robhim and the others apologize and agree to not dismiss the man.

Reaching the docks, surprisingly without incident, the prisoner was taken to the small official building in Sea Town. There Stormhandle was transferred into the custody of Cora Ayla and the sea elven nation of Elena'Talant. The only stipulation to the prisoner transfer is that the anti-magic manacles that shackled him must be returned within the month, as they are a rare and valuable item.

Releasing Dookette in the wild

Before leaving the air world, Cora Ayla began speaking to Dookette in the sea elven dialect. Surprised that she understood it, she listened carefully to what Cora said to her. After a few moments of quiet reflection Dookette turns to the party, "I feel that I have to go with Cora to Elena'Talant. It is obvious to me that I am not well here on the island, and perhaps I can learn more about what I have become. I shall enter the welcoming bosom of the sea and find myself more comfortable there than I would on that phallic mountain. Best of luck to you all."

With that, Dookette returned to the sea and seemed more calm that you had ever known the angsty emo dwarf to be.
