In Hiding

As the Fateful 8 hid away in the Justicar's Guild, they began to share stories and information about themselves to pass the time. They talked about food, about likes and dislikes, success stories, and past tragedies. Over the next few days, Beldor took some time to use clairvoyance to reexplore the sewers the Fateful 8 had visited. He noticed that the area where the party encountered the runed doors was completely walled off now.

Mr. Fahrenheit approached Bodo and asked him to fashion a dark cloak for him. When that was finished, he donned it, shaved his beard down, and dyed his hair dark brown to disguise his features. As the group discussed what to do next, it was agreed upon that they needed to get inside the Gryffon compound to find hard evidence of their crimes. Mr. Fahrenheit recalled his childhood friend, Dagnik Grimhorn, was involved in the city underworld. He wanted to reach out to Dag, even though decades had passed since they last saw each other, to see if Dag could help them in any way. He decided to venture out to an out of the way rooftop overlooking one of the alleys on the lower levels of Port Solaris where Dag and Conley used to hang out. He enlisted Dreld's assistance to accompany him to the site. Rigline cast invisibility on the two of them so they wouldn't be noticed during the trip. When they left the Guild, Mr. Fahrenheit noticed that there were wanted posters featuring the Fateful 8 hanging everywhere. He also noted that he had never seen the city on alert quite as high as this, even during times of unrest in the past.

The pair made it to the old spot easily enough and saw that it looked like someone was living on the roof, though it appeared deserted when they arrived. Mr. Fahrenheit scratched out a note on a wall in the little bit of Thieves Cant that he remembered Dag teaching him as a child. The note informed Dag that Mr. Fahrenheit was in trouble and was hiding out at the Justicar's Guild. He asked for Dag to meet him there, hoping Dag would be able to provide any help. He then left a few gold pieces for whomever was living on the roof because he felt they needed it. The trip back to the Justicar's Guild did not go as smoothly, as Mr. Fahrenheit bumped into a woman and fell down. However, he was able to sneak past her and he and Dreld made it back to the Guild. Mr. Fahrenheit dropped his invisibility on the doorstep of the guild, and the guards acted like they didn't know him, cuffed him, and ushered him inside. They chided the pair for their indiscretion and assigned them to dinner duty for the night.

While Mr. Fahrenheit and Dreld were out, Bodo spoke to Buck about the Justicars. Bodo told Buck that he doesn't trust Hank. Buck listened to Bodo and agreed to keep an eye on things. Froderick then joined Buck in the meditation chambers. Mr. Fahrenheit found the two there and filled Buck in on their trip. He then asked Buck what he thought about Ellie potentially betraying the party. Buck felt like Ellie offered them up easily, while Mr. Fahrenheit told him about the bruising he saw on her face, suggesting the Gryffon's may have beaten her. Buck, Mr. Fahrenheit, and Froderick were then interrupted by Hank, who said the Gryffon's were really pushing to come into the Guild after Mr. Fahrenheit's approach.

The Fateful 8 agreed to leave the Guild for a time - exiting through the sewers. As they dropped into the sewers, they heard voices nearby. The party hid, and Froderick turned into a rat. The voices drew nearer and the Fateful 8 saw that it was a small group of Gryffon guards. The guards didn't see anything other than Rat Froderick and one of the guards proceeded to kick at the rat. The damage Froderick sustained from the kick forced him out of his wild shape and back into his full satyr form. The guards restrained Froderick, so the rest of the Fateful 8 sprang to the defense of their friend. They quickly defeated the guards and hid their bodies amongst the sewage.
