*Kel doesn't find any traps, but he gets lucky and finds a secret compartment under the bed that contains two small gems and a potion.*

"That's more like it. Come on, my pretties, come to your Uncle Kel. Hmm, wonder what this potion does?"
Kel tucks the loot into his pocket and makes his way back to the group. He hesitates briefly at the fork but the thought of facing that mage again - with his friends - soon has him taking to his heels.
"Found something. Let's get out of here, and we can have a proper look later."
"We need to go to the Watch."
Kelloran looks very uncomfortable as he says this - a lifetime's habit of avoiding the law is not easily overthrown.
"Now that we have rescued Nhalia, and can point out this place, we have some evidence to back up our claims. But first, we'd better take Shan and Titus to an inn. Not around this area, I think - too many river rats around here. But someplace not too far away."
Then he pauses in dismay and looks up into the shadowy corner of the ceiling.
"Blast! My rope. That was expensive. Oh, blast! I suppose we'll have to leave it behind ... for now."

Blunt looks up at the rope. "I'd fetch it, if I were in better shape," he says.
With no obvious means of carrying the wounded, Blunt resigns himself to carrying them in their arms. "Probably best to get the watch involved and show them the pentagram. And let Nhalia do the talking. They'll believe a cleric who was kidnapped more than the rest of us who broke into a warehouse illegally."

"I don't think anyone knows I had been kidnapped," Nhalia admits, "If anything, they would probably be likely to believe I was involved in a break-in too, and that's if we're lucky and they don't blame the pentagram and such on us also," she sighs.
Sulannus listens, but doesn't have much to offer. She gathers up Shan as best she can and grunts, "We did make a report to the Watch before, so it wouldn't be out of nowhere...but yes, we shouldn't take too big a chance. Lets go back to the hedge wizard's abode...and hope he's returned."

"Hedge Wizard? Was that a fairly-old human in drab brownish robes?"

"Ah, we didn't actually see him. He wasn't at home when we went there, so we stayed and waited for him. Then, in the morning, Titus followed his tracks here. That's how we knew where to find you.
The funny thing was, Titus said the tracks were the same as the ones in the alleyway where you were attacked."
Kel looks around and says, "You know, in all the excitement, I forgot: just how are we going to get out of here?
Leaving the others, he makes his way to the front door and checks it.

"Hmm...I wasn't attacked in an alleyway, actually," Nhalia says, "Were you thinking of a silver-haired human-looking girl who worshipped Selune?"
*Kel discovers the front door to be locked, perhaps magically, making it impossible to open.*
