I'm back. Let's get this thing moving again.
Gobbleguts, Lamm's 'pet' alligator, is dead. Maya (low on spells), Khadmeade (low on hit points) and Bael (bow in hand) stand on the far side of Gobbleguts' pit. Tristan is across the other side, his magic poised for action. Gaedren Lamm, shrivelled old criminal, petty thief and abuser of children is cornered in his squalid lair.
Ducking out of the doorway, his hand crossbow loaded for another shot at Maya, Lamm suddenly notices Tristan off to his left and spins to level his handbow at the wizard instead. Tristan is faster, a glob of acidic goo shoots from his fingertip into Lamm's face, knocking the jaundiced old man to the floor.
A sudden calm descends. Lamm lies unmoving, but still breathing.
[sblock=OOC]
Tristan acid dart touch attack 10+3 = 13. Hit. Damage 1d6+1 = 7.

Tristan's guisarme slams through the old man's chest, pinning him to the wooden floor of his hovel. With a last gurgle, Gaedran Lamm is no more.
[sblock=OOC]
Tristan guisarme attack 6+8*=14, hit. 2d4+3 damage =9.
*+4 for attacking prone target.
So, job done. There is a big pile of junk, and Lamm's personal quarters to examine, of course....

Maya rushes forward, but her moment of hesitation ensures that Tristan reaches Lamm first. She trots to a halt...deprived of the kill herself, but at least present to witness his demise firsthand at the hands of one who had fought by her side.
It was enough, she decided.
"A dark cloud has passed from this city," she murmurs, eyes closed. "A creature that fed on the lives of children has finally passed. Let us collect our trophies and be done with this cursed den."
With that she speaks in the secret language of the spirits, awakening a second sight that would guide her to the most treasured of Lamm's belongings.

The old man had merely looked pitiful at the end, not threatening. Can I really be sure that he's even the one that killed Teresa?
Tristan had expected to feel satisfaction upon getting his revenge, but now, he just feels empty. This won't bring her back.

Bael nods approving at Tristan and starts searching Lamm's corpse.
Maybe her brother doing this is more fitting to it than me...

Khadmeade's face is unreadable as the dwarf joins the rest of the group. Looking down at the body of Gaedran Lamm, the dwarf pauses to give Tristan a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
The spirits tell Maya that nothing in the pile of large junk, neither does the old man carry anything magical. Moving on to Gaedrann's roach-infested den, however, there are a couple of items that glow in her spirit-sight. A hatbox, on the room's only table (rickety, of course) beside the remnants of a meal now crawling with flies, and a small wooden chest at the foot of the filthy bed. Neither container is magical itself, but the auras coming from them speak of items inside that may be magical.
[SBLOCK=OOC]
Don't forget that under Pathfinder rules you can use Appraise or Knowledge (arcane) with a detect magic spell to identify items. Identify does the same, but with a +10 bonus.
All Lamm does have on his person is his masterwork hand crossbow, 5 bolts, a masterwork dagger and a ring of keys.

Would anyone mind me taking his crossbow? I have learned shooting with this a long time ago..." Bael asks the others.
"And shall I check the box? It is maybe trapped."
