Lots of information is slowly coming in about the night's excitement.
The good news is, none of your clients were killed, but one of your employees was. Two groups you other than the Thanns were targeted, but in one case there was an urban druid in the protection team who discovered the threat and got them to safety, and in the other there was a fight in your favor. In that situation, however, a young Seer in your employ named Kalin was killed. They ran into a large contingent of Grumsh's Regulars, an Orcish street gang. The seer disovered them in time to prevent an ambush, but not to prevent a fight. The two other members of the team, enormous Illuskan (i.e. Norse) Half-Giant Barbarians, defeated a group of at least a dozen attackers, but a few got through to attack your charges. Kalin struck one down with a mind thrust, and delayed the others, but was killed in the process.
A large number of famous individuals are missing, and a few are confirmed dead. Among the missing and dead are a number of people rumored to be among the lords of the city.
People are angry at the government, the military, and the churches that they all failed to protect the people against the plague, and very greateful to Aiden and his guards for stoppping them, as well as you guys for defeating the apparent source of the problem.
Guardsmen found the boat that the assassin referred to, on fire. Inside were a wide variety of apparent assassins, all dead by a variety of means. It looks like many may have killed each other. However, the rest were clearly burned by powerful magic, and all seem to have been subjected to some sort of negative energy attack, though mostly postmortem. The fact that speak with dead has failed on all of them implies that sometihng devoured or captured their souls.
In the morning, Lt. Kiran starts to wake up...what do you do?
