Unfortunately, the local thieves guild find him first and is dispatchs message to the heroes they will reveal his location for a ransom. Of course the thieves are lying. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />One of the character's (preferably one with some sort of romantic attachment to another, hopefully another PC) be propositioned by an aid to the informant who has always wanted to sleep with an adventurer. And they really can help find them. Either directly or with insight to the informant's patterns of behaviour and likely hide outs.Have some catastrophe occur within earshot of the heroes that this will rush to amend, only for it to turn out to be a plot by the foreign agents to flush them out. This only works if the heroes are truly good/patriotic, etc.Otherwise setup of a string of clues and possible tacks for the heroes to do detective work to find the informant, but make sure they know this is all a race against the other agents. Top of this spy vs spy episode with a climax where the heroes reach the informant's hideout (maybe in the sewer system?) and find him okay, just to have the foreign agents jump them.To add an extra layer of excitement. Make sure they fight/meet the foreign operatives at least once before the fight at the end and that the bad guys have a definite leader with a physical distinction like an eye-patch or some such and a strong, maybe charismatic persona to grab their attention. This big baddy could eventually become the group's archnemesis.I hope these ideas are useful. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
