## Summary

The mission is to kill Caspian the half-drow and display his body publicly. Aleria, Arco, C2 and Beebo discuss ways to find their target. They decide that they will interrogate a random street urchin in the Thieves Ward. The DNC lightly disguises themselves in different clothing so as to avoid recognition as the new champions of the Lotus Trials. Beebo opts to strip down, wear a raincoat and pose as some four-legged pet of Aleria. The four protagonists enter the Thieves Ward and keep an eye out for possible idlers ready to pickpocket. Beebo runs off into an alley way posing as a creature that has run off with its owners money while C2 runs after a thieving child he spotted in the opposite direction.

Beebo finds two little girls, one of which, try to lure in the apparent small animal while the other tries to steal the furry little creatures money. Beebo suddenly releases his iron bands contraption, a very expensive and strong magical item, in an attempt to trap the little girl who was luring him. By some coincidence only attribute to a higher power, the little girl manages to break free of the iron restraints, thereby destroying Beebo's costly toy. Beebo, now seething with rage, lashes out and hacks both little girls to pieces.

 Across the street, C2 has managed to lose a small boy from his grasp. Out of frustration, the warforged creature summons a bestial spirit to retrieve the ne'er do well. Before the small boy and the ethereal beast clash, Arco casts Command on the child. The cleric tells commands the child to approach him and gives a silent signal to C2 to back off. Arco speaks briefly with the child, named Diogo, about the whereabouts and nature of the one named Caspian. Some words about Onema are exchanged as well as a lesson in honesty. After spending a two silver coins and a few coppers the boy is set free. Although C2 does quickly mug the kid for the two silver coins back not long after.

Aleria, who had run after her small, feral companion, finds the alleyway covered in viscera and a deranged Beebo still slicing at a figure that was once a little girl. Horrified. Aleria calms Beebo down some and takes some pieces of flesh in hopes of a later revival.

After regrouping, the DNC decide that C2 would stake out Caspian and the criminal enterprise, the Eighth Night located at The Quarries. C2 finds his place of residence and reports the location to the rest of the crew who immediately set out in the dead of night to kill Caspian. In a very not-stealthy manner, the group clanks their way down to the warehouse of Caspian's residence. They note that they are being followed but do not mind in the least.

Once they enter a side entrance our protagonists encounter a drow guard who appears to have been waiting for them. His name is Theon Noah, but most characters refer to him as just Noah. He notes the group's intense murder intent and informs them that Caspian would like to make a deal. He brings them into a room with lavish furniture where the obviously attractive Caspian sits at a table. After some blatant reveals and careful inductions, Caspian surmises that Clover has sent that Champions of the Lotus Trial to kill him. He then offers 80,000G (double what Clover offered) to not kill him but to kill Clover instead. The C2 and Aleria are convinced immediately. Beebo wants a replacement iron band and murdering the original seller which Caspian will gladly provide in TWO DAYS. Arco attempts a divine interntion for spontaneous conversion but fails. The gang leaves the Thieves Ward with another mission, kill Clover in Uqhesh. After arriving back at the hotel, C2 and Aleria reincarnate the two girls killed by Beebo. Aleria offers the two lodging and C2 walks away disappointed that he will not be getting his money back.
