**Duncan Spark'steel**
*Famed smith who mass produced weapons during a time of war. His endurance and strength were legendary. At one point when his home of Abenkai was under siege he stayed up for a week straight producing arrow heads for the archers. Even when his smithy was hit by a shot from a trebuchet, he just moved his operation down the street to the neighbor’s smithy and restarted production.*

Maya and Jane return to the city to watch the crypts and have a picnic nearby outside the walls. Maya flirts with a guard and gets some information from him, that there had been an attempt to steal from the Duncan Spark'steel Crypt a week ago, which explains why so many Spark'steel are there guarding it.

They also see the guards swap shifts at sunset. They return to the family that night and briefs them.

While Maya and Jane are gone, Budariousz comforts Sara about being brave and not trying to be like him.

### 21st May, 1511

Sami using his perception filter spell, the whole party except Yassi, gets inside the city. They pass though the checkpoint at the gate with no trouble.

Budariousz pays a woman his old 100 gold belt to use her house for the day. The plan is for Maya to go and lure one of the guards to the house and for the party to knock him out.

Using the perception filter again, Sami and Sara act as guards and Jane seduces the last human guard. He is also knocked out.

Sara and Sami disguised as the new gate guards stand at the entrance. Budariousz and Maya sneak in. Sami and Sara start distracting the dwarven guards as the others sneak up and knock them out. Maya works on the lock built into the iron bared gate for an hour when the 3 dwarves start to wake up. 2 of the dwarves try to call for help, so Maya kills them. The last guard says the key to the tomb is in the Highest Tower of the Spark'steel Estate and they will never get it. Maya executes the last dwarf.

Sara and Budariousz burst open the gate with brute force. Then they can go inside.
