The team decided to do some equipment shopping and then went out and found two more businesses for investments. The first was Muckbuckle’s Marvelous Munchables, a tinker gnome bakery that hasn’t had an explosion in hours. The second was Lezah’s House of Practical Magic, a place where they teach how to use magic in industry and everyday life. The group invested 10,000 gp in each.
The group sat around the Low Dive enjoying an early evening dinner and talking to the locals when a tiefling strolled in. The locals gave him a wide berth, and he walked up to the table. He introduced himself as Stanley and invited them to come meet with his boss, Mugsy. After he left, they asked around about him and confirmed he is a local criminal, and Mugsy is the neighborhood crime lord. Stanley is a wicked sorcerer known for a love of magic involving skulls and demons. He also has a maniacal axe-wielding brother named Simmons. They also learned the Low Dive pays protection money to Mugsy.
A few hours later, Stanley returned to get them and led them through the under halls where they met up with Simmons. They escorted the party to meet the criminal mastermind, the one and only Mugs Money. The harengon crime lord was quite gracious and hired them to strike out against his new rival, Shafi Schmuck. He sent Stanley and Simmons with them, and the brothers were chomping at the bit for some mayhem.
They arrived at a chamber where Shafi was moving goods stolen from Mugs. Shafi ordered his human and tengu guards to attack while he fled out the back. Simmons entered a rage and swelled to double his normal size! The team moved in and engaged. At first, both sides exchanged a couple solid hits. Helg cast ring of blades and rushed in. Khesen attacked a tengu who redirected his attack right into Intevar! JIraiya nimbly moved about the battlefield whacking opponents with his flail. Intevar setup some flanks, and Neko unleashed mind thrust. A margoyle swooped in from the darkness above and attacked Neko. Meanwhile, Simmons scored a critical hit and cut one of the humans, a despicable cad, completely in two. Moments later, Neko did the same. Stanley cast a calling and brought in a gelatinous cube! The ooze began engulfing guards and dissolving them! The team took down the rest of the enemies, and Stanley and Simmons began feeding bodies to the ooze and leading it away from the chamber!
