The party keeps the Zhentagram appointment proposed by Istrid Horn at the Ahghairon’s Statue. Janky and Reade learn that she seeks immediate succor from the city guard, relying upon their rumored domination at Gralhund Manor to qualify that protection. Most importantly, she is willing to pay through her dwarven nose to buy just 10 days of protection. Detecting no subterfuge, the party escorts her to a private room at Lif’t and furnishes a dwarven portion of ale to keep her occupied for the afternoon.
Later that night, under cloak of darkness, Reade and Luth take Lord Gralhund out to his neighborhood and wish him the very best at liberating his kids from his mean wife to start a new Zhent-free life in some other city. Smoll and Togy take Urstul in a different direction to the edge of town and release him back to his predatory habitat. Janky looks after Istrid.
The following day, the party fixes up a covered wagon and rents a mule to scout the town with the nimblewright detector. Signals lead them into a middle-class alleyway stuffed with garbage. Smoll notices a disturbed mound of trash. Out springs the nimblewright who demonstrates advanced skills at stabbing everyone with a rapier and offhand dagger. Reade grapples the nimblewright. Luth zaps it to pieces. A thorough search locates a hand drawn map to the residence of Fenerus Stormcastle, hopefully where the Stone of Golor was recently delivered, and a magical rapier and dagger set [+1 each].
The city guard happens upon the scene but finds no violations since nimblewrights aren’t people.
