Jak reports the incident at Midel’s house to the guards and returns the armor. He says it appeared to have been an animal attack of some sort.
Mary guides 4 guards back to the hamlet to remove the bodies. Three of the guards get sick at the sight of the acid-melted bodies. One of the guards starts looking around the mess as the remains are gathered. Mary suggests that they leave immediately. The snoopy guard agrees and walks out. Hours later, they arrive back at Forge Valley.
Jak barters the ankheg shell for a dwarvencraft greatsword and a dwarvencraft set of scale mail from 2 dwarven smithies (cousins). [The smiths agree to share any profits made from selling the ankeg armor. The shell is worth at least 12,000 gp if they can sell it.] The requested masterwork armor will take about 3 weeks to complete. Jak then goes to find Erol. Erol is oddly absent from his tower. Jak suspects Erol went south to look through Midel’s house. [Jak is right, but it’s hard to find an invisible, disguised illusionist. Erol left as soon as he heard his adversary went missing. He doesn’t find anything of importance at the house. The party has already taken most of the valuable things left by the challenging wizard.]
Elf has gone missing. He can’t be found anywhere. Jak & Mary later find him bound & gagged, locked in his room. He says he was abducted last night by someone. [Elf is the strongest party member the Raven Robbers know about. The Raven Robbers interrogated him to find out as much as they could. They are primarily concerned about who the party might be working for. Satisfied that they have kept their ruthless appearance, they bound him up and put him back in his room.] Elf says they knew a lot about him and the rest of the party. Elf decides he needs another room with bigger locks.
Jak later goes to the Silver Sword Guild to ask about membership. They welcome his entry as a person of some renown that would bring credit to the guild. Jak pays for a one year membership. He learns about the barrister, Frank, who represented Bachas and the other bandits. Jak goes back to the hamlet to look for Erol. He passes some peasants along the way, but none of them look familiar. Erol disguised himself preventing Jak from recognize him.
Mary goes out hunting again with no success. When she gets back into town she runs into a plucky gnome named Migi (NPC). He’s very excited to go with the party, wherever they’re headed. [Migi works for the Raven Robbers Guild. He will do just about anything to gain their confidence. His job is to learn what the party knows and see if they are truly allies or enemies of the guild, or their enemies.] Migi also meets Jak at the tower. Jak agrees to meet with him tomorrow morning sometime. Migi works under the guise that his sole interest is in the money, which isn't totally untrue. The four mercenaries made out with a small fortune in exchange for a little boot leather.
