You recognise the first five items in Lamm's "keepers" collection, the rest must have been acquired after your time here.
[/SBLOCK]
Hookshanks gives Thorson a fearful sideways glance as he says to Lynn
"Sure, I'll tell them anything you want if you keep him away from me."
Outside, in the city, you can hear the faint sounds of bells being rung. Something unusual is going on.
[SBLOCK=Dj'hân]
The Harrow cards are very well made, beautifully decorated and almost seem to shuffle themselves. As Dj'hân handles them he fancies that he can sense the presence of Zellara, and feels that he should keep the cards for help in the future.

Bundling the cards, Dj'hân places the deck inside his red cap and replaces the whole on his little head before standing. Curious, the guttersnipe scurries out the door onto the undercroft walkway. Turning right, he peers along the riverfront embankment to see some hint of why the bells might be ringing.
[sblock=Dr Simon]Do we remember the particular circumstances in which the five objects were acquired by Lamm? Does it suggest who their rightful owners might be?
As for the Harrow cards, would you like Dj'hân to perform Harrowings with them for the group on occasion? Having a deck, I can read up on the procedure and post the results in character. Being what he is, I thought it might be fun for Dj'hân to channel Zalara's spirit so to speak. If it's tied to the story, I could wait until you signal me to do so. If the cards have some other purpose though, then never mind."[/sblock]

Most items are pickpocketed or opportunity thefts, with little to attach them to place or person. You recall that the scrimshaw kraken came from The Frisky Unicorn up in Citadel Heights, but as that is a guesthouse the owner has probably long gone.
As for the cards, be my guest. There are certain times when the reading is more portentous than others, and I'll let you know when that is (Zellara's spirit that inhabits the deck will give you hints). You also get the sense that you can use the deck to identify magic items.
IC: The bells seem to be ringing in alarm. You can hear a commotion of shouting, some screams, banging and crashing from elsewhere in the city, particularly to the north.

Dj'hân ducks back in through the doorway a few moments later, his eyes wide. "It's an alarm being rung, not too far north by the sounds of it." The guttersnipe jerks a thumb over his shoulder to indicate that direction. "I can hear a commotion and some people yelling and screaming."

Let's collect the valuables and take these two and get out of here. We can decide what to do about all of it later.

I'm healthy, the half-orc insists. I can throw Lamm over my shoulder, as for where, we can go to the place where we met Zallara or her ghost or whatever that was.

"The guard might catch and scrag us on the way for dragging tied up people around. And with whatever that alarm is for, it might be dangerous on the streets right now. This seems like as good a place as any to hole up for awhile if we close and bar the doors again." The boy looks thoughtful for a moment and then grins widely. "How's about I climb up the old sloop's main mast and try to spy what's happening in the city from up in the crow's nest?"
