Inside the party finds what appears to be Osborne's last form of defiance. Lying atop a stack of envelopes and tied papers is an apparently self-rendered picture of the mayor making an obscene gesture. Searching through the papers you find everything you need to incriminate Osborne of his crimes. There are signed deeds of land that the mayor has purchased in the surrounding area, and carefully drawn out plans signed by the gnome, Silas Gruecock, showing how the swamp is to be drained into Osborne's newly acquired lands, and to be sold to the farmers for what they are now getting for free naturally from the swamp.

"Well, I think we can say that's a job well done." Andreas says with a smile as he finishes reading through the papers. "If anyone needs me, I'll be trying to identify our watery assailant."
Andreas makes his way back to the flooded room, hoping he can shed some light onto the nature of the water-woman.

Walking over and looking through the stack of papers, Ayden smiles as he knows that they have more than enough proof to present to the council in regards to Applebottom's actions.
"Well, I think the only matter that remains is to help with the burial of Applebottom's guards, and talking to the council as soon as we are all ready. Also, as harsh as this may sound, I believe we need to take Sheriff Trond up on his offer to see if they held any equipment that could be of use to us, as the gnomish engineer and his companions are still to be accounted for."
Turning to face Chasity directly, Ayden offers her the stack of papers.
"While many can find fault in one's motives, I have yet to meet someone who can fault in a knight's word. If you would carry these to ensure that none can say they have been tampered with, I think it would help our cause greatly."

Calenthang finds his way to his companions just as Andreas is leaving, and he offers a wave to him and the party alike. Seeing that whatever action had taken place has sorted itself out he calmly states that his search of the dining room and guest bedroom turned up nothing. He then makes his way outside to search the prone bodies of Applebottom's staff.

Examing Ssirine doesn't bring much more to light for Andreas. It is apparent to him though, that she appears to be part water elemental, but her features and solid state are that of lizardfolk.
Searching the bodies outside, Calenthang finds Simon's short sword still laying near him, the jeweled belt buckle he is wearing, as well as 20 platinum in his pocket along with a potion. Searching Adrian does not come up with much more except 20 gold, and what appears to be another master key to the house. His cleaver is still clutched in his hand, and the elf finds the man was wearing studded leather underneath his clothes.

Calenthang collects the items and coinage and takes it to his companions. He places the things on the desk for all to see.

Frowning slightly, Andreas exits the flooded room. The examination had not yielded as much information as he'd hoped, but a puzzle was always something to be relished. He slowly makes his way back to the Mayor's office, still deep in thought.
"I've looked at our most recent assailant, and I'm afraid I've drawn something of a blank." Andreas reports to Ayden. "I can say with a fair degree of certainty that she seemed to have some extra-planar ancestry, as her watery form would indicate, but she also showed lizard-like traits. This latter point may be the more significant, given the swamp's inhabitants. Combined with her ability to change her visage (a feat that could have been accomplished by either illusionary or transmutational magic), she might well have been an ideal spy on the lizardfolk."
He turns as Calenthang enters, and watches as he deposits yet more coinage on the desk.
"My word! Quite a horde Mayor Osborne had acquired. It might be prudent to return a fair portion of this wealth to the townsfolk, less they look upon us in the same light as they will soon regard the Mayor."
