Session 8

The group arrive at the Steinhager offices after avoiding the guards. Seigbert knocks over a pot nearby and the guard dog began to bark. The group hid in a nearby alley and waited for the on duty guard to patrol the area and then return to be. They hopped the fence where Seigwards cape was torn. Ava luckily spotted a piece of cloth still on the fence and removed the evidence. They enter the servants area and began investigating. Seigbert snuck up on the sleep guard dog and killed it in one blow while both he and Herbert killed the guard. The group stole some papers, brandy, clothing and other items from the clerks office and shipping containers. Breaking into Franz's office they stole the map of the town and smashed his desk to find various documents and a leather book. The group fled the scene and Erik's walking crutch was broken in the hurry with Seigwards cape being torn again.

That night Ava had the same dream but this time someone was burning the building and it was Seigward. She looked to the moon to see it leering down and her then she began to fall into an abyss. Waking up the group left the barge to head to the Crossed Pikes. While the rest drank some breakfast ale Seigbert went downstairs. He was almost killed by Baumann(fate point spent) for his stupidity in killing a guard and leaving the place ransacked. He told him to go destroy whatever evidence he wasn't handing over. Seigbert handed over the documents and book found in Steinhager's drawer. The group returned to the barge to get rid of the goods and in the process it's raided by the guards. Attempting to cause a distraction Seigbert starts a fire above deck. Josef attempts to help his bluff but the guards aren't having it. Luckily they don't find anything incriminating on the barge and let everyone go.

The group head to the Adel Ring to do some stakeout and discover where Friedrich Magirius lives. Ava attempts to steal the lock off the gate but is caught by the guards who arrest her for loitering. Seigward bails his sister out with a bribe and the two leave to drink in the Crossed Pikes.

During their watch Seigbert spots a messenger leave a house with guards and travel to several others. Herbert spots a shift change with the guards and Erik see's nothing. Ava and Seigward book a room in the Crossed Pikes and look to meet with the rest of the group but the door is broken down and the Crossed Pikes is raided by the watch where they storm in and down to the cellar where the thieves guild reside.
