I have a cup of tea in front of me and I can hear a little bird outside. It’s really chirping, which is really wonderful.Now. I’m not going to dwell on the bad stuff anymore for now, because we’ve been through all that. So, let’s focus on the one, really, really good thing. We saved a whole bunch of women from a terrible fate! Isn’t that wonderful?Well, you know it is.Now!Now, we had a couple things to tie up here. For one thing, there was the basement. There was a puddle of water  at the far end of the one room basement, and Seamus felt pretty sure that something had been moving around inside it. Blizzard just said; “s-,s-,s-,s- ssssparkly!” I think that means that he agreed with Seamus.So, anyway, were had a little discussion about maybe going down there and maybe not. I was pretty well on empty myself, but apparently Kristen had a spell left and Patty was good as gold, just as always. ...She is such a little trooper there. Sometimes, I just wan to grab those little pointy ears and give her such a hug!Well anyway, we decided to go down there and see what we could find. A whole bunch of us grouped up and went downstairs. I’m going to skip some of the details here and just tell you that the source of the movement was a very powerful beast. I think someone called it a Naga. Thinking that we were part of the brothel, he/she/it demanded pure water. When we failed to produce any water, the Naga asked if we were prepared to pay the consequences, and that is when we told it that we were not part of the regular management. I really thought we were going to have to fight that thing. And I am quite certain that would have been fatal for quite a number of us.Really, that is not just my fear talking. That thing could have taken us when we walked fresh through the door, I am betting. Sitting there tired and battered? If we were lucky the party members still upstairs might have survived.But, the Naga allowed us to leave, and we did exactly that. Now you may be thinking that surely we missed out on something. ...some treasure perhaps? ...or maybe a secret worth knowing? And I agree with you. In fact, I am sure that there was something worth pursuing down there in that basement, but we just didn’t have it in us at the time. We learned that the Naga had made some sort of agreement with the brothel owners where they had to bring it pure water. What it did for them we had no idea. And well, that’s where we left it. Hey, one brothel down and a bunch of slaves freed! I was ready to call it a day and so were the others.By now the city guards had begun to assemble down the street. They were apparently waiting for some re-enforcements before approaching us to see what was up. It was around that time that we sent the remaining women and the healer out to meet them. Then we headed out around the corner and went off down a back ally.I know, that too was a little less than responsible, but once again, were were tired people! You know, tired! After a big battle like that, I can’t help thinking we were entitled to let our inner selfish out to play a bit.We didn’t go back to the inn directly. No. We decided to go see Lord Methgar and tell him what we’d done. Everyone figured that might be important, being as he was our sponsor and the brothel was known to have powerful backers f some kind. He might want to know what people were after him if that turned out to be the case. So, we were definitely headed to see Lord Methgar.But first we wanted to see Louie the Mog again.</blockquote>
