It included a summoner with a cat familiar, a bound yugoloth in disguise, a cat familiar transmuted into "cat-folk", the stealing of a shadowstuff blooddrinking ceremonial dagger from Lady Sarina's house, the threat of stealing Fiend's Embrace from Lord Arak's collection, and the strange smell of urine at all the crime scenes.They ended up discovering the lead thanks to a librarian who fed cats who would come to his window (up at the last level of the library), and had noted the absence of a black cat.The last one was the first adventure in which I required characters to do all the investigation work, a great game... I should write it down someday...[sorry for the threadjack  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> ]</blockquote>
