Jumping straight into the action, Gamon surprised Iolla Chaffer and her bodyguards by appearing at the door of her bodouir with his knife at Iolla's adopted daughter Lalliana's neck. Bodyguard Rocker attacked Gamon immediately, effectively feinting with his greatsword before whacking him good. Meanwhile mage Phantom cast Obscuring Mist. Gamon heard Iolla scream "Lolli..." before her mouth was muffled and she was taken out the door.
In the meantime, Eli, Newall, and the girls rushed up the stairs to support the unusually impetuous Gamon. Torn between slashing the girl or doing something else rash and possibly harmful to her, Gamon roughly shoved her over to Eli behind him, who took custody of her. Eli cast a Cure spell on Gamon, which Lalliana tried to interfere with by stomping on his foot, for which Eli promised her a spanking.
Newall stepped forwards with a Fireball (a little early in his character progression- I've done the same by accident) and blew away Phantom, as well as leaving Rocker on his last shred of life, which Gamon promptly took from him. From there, the fellas heard Iolla and someone else fleeing out the window. The girls were sent around front to cut them off that way, while Gamon rushed towards the window they fled from. Newall heard them circling around the north of the building, and spent a few seconds bashing out a large expensive rose window to get out that way. In the meantime, Eli maintained Lalliana while extinguishing the boudoir.
As it appeared that Gamon was going to catch up with Iolla, her escort urged her on and turned to fight him. He went invisible, much as Gamon was able to, which Gamon did himself. Barely being missed by the escort's attack, Gamon slipped by him and slaughtered Iolla. Gamon expected to be attacked immediately, but the escort stayed invisible. However Newall came out and barely noticed him, and hit him with a Scorching Ray. The escort attempted to escape, but when it was obvious that wasn't possible, he surrendered.
In the meantime, after putting out the fires, Eli rushed Lalliana out towards their coach. While coming out, he saw the Chaffer's coach pelting hell for leather out of the coachhouse. Eli tocked the driver with an arrow and he fell off and the coach stopped. Then he took the coach and left.
The Prince and his men arrived and secured the scene. Chaffer's ninja Slick has his options explained to him. He was pretty much compelled to assist the party against Gravin Unsellis and the slavers. Slick expressed his earnest cooperation. Unfortunately, some of Iolla's house guards left through the barracks gate.
