The Hounds of the Iron Ring surged into the rooms and attacked the party in their beds! Several of the team were badly stabbed before rallying to the defense. Unarmored, the team was desperate to put down the enemies quickly. A few early lucky shots broke the frontline assault and sent one of the assailants fleeing into the hallway. Axes, blades, and arrows flew about and the team overwhelmed the Iron Ring!
Soon there was one man remaining, and Katarina sang him a very convincing song about dropping his weapons. So, he did. He then decided outnumbered 6-to-1 with his friends all dead around him, it was worth jumping out the second story window to safety. Unfortunately, he landed on his head and died.
The team started putting on their armor, and a scream arose from outside. Someone found the body! Within moments, the constables arrived, and Katarina began speaking with them. Soon an investigator arrived and took the party to a room one at a time to interrogate them. Their stories matched pretty closely, and they could not dispute it appeared the party acted in self-defense. The investigator declared he would not charge the party but would escort them to the city gates and warned them not to let him catch them back in town.
After some discussion, the team decided to go along peacefully.
