At some point during his tenure in Port Ghalin he had a run in with Caramip Ingyll, who recognised him from her time in Endershire.

After an altercation with Percival Strauss, Arthur decided to write a crude ballad about the city's chief scholar entitled *Professor Prick*. He was subsequently arrested for stealing a gold necklace from a noblewoman, but Arthur claims he was framed by Percival. He was sentenced to three and a half years in Viper's Cage Prison.

## ***Accabitches Campaign***

### **Port Ghalin**

Arthur is stationed on toilet cleaning duty with his new cellmate, Samael Resplendent. There he meets Nalos Rejuveneth, Enva and reaquaints himself with Caramip Ingyll. When an alarm is sounded Arthur enchants the Viper's Cage Guard and has him escort them to the escape. After a fracas with some other guards, Godfrey rescues the group and leads them to Warden Tandem Jo's office. Whilst in the office the group discover a hidden tunnel which they follow down.

After fighting some undead creatures in these tunnels, the group come upon Bill Chavelle wandering the tunnels. Due to Caramip's previous connection with the mobster, the group enter his employment. Arthur takes up lodgings for the group at the Shrieking Gull, however the group only stay one night as he refuses to pay his debts to Aloisi. Arthur also instigates an altercation with the Gainsborough Players. Arthur refuses to stay at Dearic's house.

When the group are asked to house sit by Bill, Arthur is one of the only members of the group who oppose looking in the basement. It is Arthur who tells the Tabaxi Hireling to leave Port Ghalin and never return in the name of the Gainsborough Players. After breaking ties with Bill, Godfrey and Arthur were approached by Chief Constable Durrant Bizrit. He gave them a simple proposition; find out more about what's going on in the tunnel or hang. Arthur informs the group and they agree to delve into tunnels. After a day of searching to no avail, the group return to the Locus Tabula and this is the moment that they name themselves the Accabitches after questioning from the Tabula's security.
