One Night in Scuttlecove and the World's Your Oyster...

Gwen sings a ribald tune...

One night in Scuttlecove and the world's your oyster,
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free,
The Crimson Fleet hides and waits in every cloister,
If shadow pearls break you'll be a zombie,
Vin can feel a hand moving up his knee.

Rudy scratches, Daria sharpens, Nesta floats, Hjalmgerdr drinks, Ortho snores, and Nualla looks longingly at Vin.

-----

The Red Foam Whaling building is dark, the intrepid adventurers search for a sign of Harliss Jarvel's presence. Moving into the dock-side area of the warehouse, Rudy and Daria lead into the room. Suddenly more Yuan-ti assassins appear behind them and begin attacking. As melee ensues, and the rest of the party enters the room. A giant Yuan-ti appears next to, what appears to be, the body of Harliss Jarvel. The battle goes on, Vin takes a clobbering and Rudy takes the beating of his life. Barely able to stand, he mutters, "Is that all you got?" Harliss stands, turns into a succubus and flys at the remainder of the party. Ortho brings down the large Yuan-ti with the commensurate "Do I have to do everything around here?..." Fighting on the party prevails, and discovers elsewhere in the warehouse, that Harliss has been moved to a place called the Bird Cage.

The Bird Cage's reputation is that of a place that information can be extracted from individuals for a price. After the party bursts into the main hall, the fight is on. Three twisted Sisters of the Lamentation swoop in and attach with blade and song. The fight is quick, and without so much as a raised glance on the street. The party has taken the bird cage.
