It is decided to keep him at the auction house. Mojo states “Well, if you aren’t going to send him over to be with the teenage girls why don’t you send me instead?” They decide it best to address Hiroshi by a different name and he suggests his wife’s family name of Ming. Mojo and Serita get into an argument about this situation being all her fault for wanting a hospital in the first place. Fiona mutters to Serita “Pay no attention. He’s just angry because the Queen is back with her husband.”</p><p></p><p>Since everyone has been up since 3:30 A.M. they decide to head to bed early. Narg assigns a pair of party members for two-hour watches along with the crew. The three potential ‘targets’ continue to share the same assigned rooms. Serita and Furynick take the first watch, along with an invisible Melito. Following the watch Melito traps the room that he and Serita are in. Serita has him sleep on a mat beneath his bed, rather than on it. </p><p></p><p><strong>July 13th, 1019, 4:30 A.M.</strong></p><p></p><p>Jamie and Fiona have been on the final watch rotation for about a half-hour. Jamie patrols the main room while Fiona has been strolling on the catwalk and 2nd floor hallway. Fiona’s cat familiar alerts her to an odd smell, coming from the direction of Serita’s room. Fiona tells a crewmember on the staircase landing to go get Jamie and wake up the others on the ground floor. She then walks up to the door begins pounding on it. </p><p></p><p>Serita awakens to see an odd sight as her infravision detects three slightly out-of-phase individuals standing in her room. Her magical scimitar is within reach, and she swings it, simultaneously filling the room with magical light from the weapon. The weapon swipes through the nearest one, but does no damage, as the semi-ethereal person hasn’t fully materialized yet. </p><p></p><p>All three men then become solid. They are human, and of oriental descent. The one beside her bed is a tall fully armored man with a heavy cloak, holding a wide curved sword. Another at the foot of her bed is attired only in martial arts clothing. The third is an average sized armored human holding a blow-gun to his mouth and pointing it at the empty bed. The man appears surprised that nobody is in that bed. Serita yells out a call of alarm at the top of her lungs, awaking most of the those still asleep in the building, but Melito surprisingly sleeps through it. </p><p></p><p>The tall man with the sword jabs it down into the bed as Serita rolls towards him, just missing the blade, and she then falls off the bed. She rolls under the bed, and crawls forward towards beneath the adjacent bed. Her attackers say something in a language which she recognizes as that of the Heian Empire <em>(ancient Japan)</em>. The one dressed as a monk begins to lift the bed from the foot board. Serita then grabs the still sleeping Melito and activates her teleport ring.</p><p></p><p>Out in the hallway, Fiona is still alone but decides she needs to react to the scream. Using all of her 13 strength she decides to try to kick in the door. The diminutive half-elf wizardess succeeds, breaking the lock and kicking the wooden door open. In the process it moves a trip wire by the door, causing a balanced container of red paint to spill across her feet. She sees nobody in the room, although notices that Serita’s bed is pulled out into the room and the covers a mess, with a trip wire tied to that bed being broken. The room also has a very strong scent to it, which she identifies as a almond smell with a slight hint of autumn leaves.</p><p></p><p>The entire building is now awake. Narg sees that it is still dark outside, and yells “Damn it! Not again! All I really want is a good night’s sleep.” The whole building is checked. They opt not to activate the Greyhawk Lantern, thinking they might need its daily detection powers later for the auction. Narg and Mojo approach Fiona, who tells them that Serita and Melito appear to be gone. “How did the door get like this?” Narg asks. “I kicked it open,” she replies. Narg is very impressed, commenting “See, that kind of stuff is fun to do. You’ve got potential.” Mojo comment “Note to self. Don’t get Fiona ticked off, and I do see if there is a way to blame Narg.” </p><p></p><p>Narg says “If it was anybody except Serita I’d be worried. She probably teleported both her and Melito back to her home on the island.” Narg’s guess is actually incorrect, as she teleported them to Kindor’s private bedchamber. The Lordholder was startled by their sudden appearance, and is quickly apprised. Melito decides to remain at the Lordholder’s Castle, commenting that after attacks two nights in a row the auction house does not appear to be that safe. He adds “Besides, at least here I won’t have to sleep on the floor.” Serita replies “Hey, you’re still alive aren’t you? Next time try waking up.” </p><p></p><p>Serita kisses Kindor goodbye, saying she has to be getting back. Deciding to conserve on teleports and druidic transformations, she commandeers a horse from the Army and gallops the mile back to the auction house. The party relaxes once she returns and apprises them of what transpired. Hiroshi confirms that in his land the almond and dying leaves smell is consistent with a side effect of the local version of a Potion of Gaseous Form. Mojo comments “So there were three of them plus Melito. Tell me, exactly how many men do you need in your bedroom at night.” “I guess all roads lead to Serita” Furynick comments. </p><p></p><p>Ki-Geloryn stops by in the middle of the morning. He tells the party that during the night there was also another attack on the Llyr family. Apparently two assassin teams combined resources for a three pronged attack. The first attack lacked subtlety, consisting of fireballs being thrown into the Llyr’s rooms by a Wizard/Assassin team. Fortunately none of the Llyr’s were actually staying in those rooms. The next assassin team then attempted to infiltrate the building disguised as one of the city’s firefighting squadrons, but were recognized by the innkeeper as not being city residents. Another wizard/assassin then tried to enter during the confusion cloaked with invisibility and non-detection magic, but he was caught by a familiar of a mage staying at the inn. The Llyr family all survived, and none of the assassins survived. </p><p></p><p>There was one other incident last night, as a High Priest from the desert Kingdom of Ul Bakak was killed. He died in a different part of town than where the Pharaoh was staying, specifically in the ‘red light district’ in the southeastern outer city, where he was apparently pushed off the roof of a four-story building. “Hold on. What church did the guy belong to?” Narg asks. Ki tells him the priest was of the Egyptian Pantheon, to which Narg states “Well, then who the hell cares?” Mojo mutters “Note to self, sign Narg up for sensitivity training.” Narg replies “Well do you care? It’s not like it was Timothy who was shoved off the roof of a house of ill-repute.” Mojo says “That wouldn’t be a problem anyway. The only house of ill-repute Timothy would go to would be one for gnomes, so the roof would only be six-feet high.”</p></blockquote><p></p>
