Kliz seems to think very hard, "The Mind Flayer was some kind of fence for stolen Dragonmarked members. Ash would capture House members, then some would go to the orcs, then others would be picked out specifically to go further below. Apparently there is someone down there who REALLY wants Dragonmarked people." He motions to the ground below his feet, "As for the Helm, I don't know how it fits into the whole business. It had something to do with deciphering the runes that Garra dug up, but what that has to do with anything I don't even think Cavallah knows. The runes were basically a mystery to everyone."

Elero will step away, still keeping Kilz in sight, and mutter to the other two, "What if we ask him to spy for us?  Maybe offer him money?"

(we still have a mental link so we can say Elero's point is silent.) Mark says in their mind, "What if he stole the glyphs and maybe gave us a better connection to daask. I would love to understand what is really going on down here." 

I believe you all have the runes. Although I can't remember where you've put them. As for Kliz, he may work as a spy, or he may go straight back to Daask and just tell them all this. What would you say/do to make sure Kliz remains in your pocket?

Yes we have the runes/stuff I believe we just kept them in Mark's appartment

(should we pay him off?)

"Maybe offer him money to get information for us?" Elero thinks.

“What are you talking about? If you’re gonna kill me just do it already.” Kliz asks from down the lane. People are mingling down the end of the lane way now, clearly interested in what’s going on.

"I am going to let him go, I don't trust him and maybe he will show favor if we leave him alone." Mark will let him go. 

Performance check for Mark: 21

Kliz looks slightly confused as Mark undoes his manacles, but doesn’t waste a second in backing away from The Rouge and fleeing up the laneway. The people there part as he runs past and then go back to their business, no longer suspicious. As Kliz leaves your field of view he turns back for a moment, his confusion now mixed with a hint of interest.

So what would the plan be now? Go back to Mark’s apartment?

Yes back to Mark's appartment to divide the loot, try to read the runes etc.

I agree with that plan! 

You all trudge the distance from Khyber's Gate, through The Cogs of Sharn, and then catch a lift back up to Mark's apartment in Middle Central. By the time you get there it is evening and you are all completely wiped. On your way back the towers of Sharn loom all around and the usual hustle and bustle you've grown accustomed to carries on endlessly. 

You pile into Mark's apartment, greeted by Milo, who even rubs himself on Clumulk, although immediately hisses at the Worg. You find a note on the floor, left there some time earlier in the day, that has the seal of the Dragonmarked House of Kundarak on the front. Otherwise the apartment is as you left it. The runes are packed away where you left them. 

"Probably for the best," Elero says as Kilz is freed.  He follows the others back to Mark's apartment, pleased to see Milo's return.  Since it's Mark's place, he'll wait for him to open the envelope.

Erix suggests, after having seen the envelop, to rest for the night and than have a look at the runes the following morning.

"Let's get some rest, then we can regroup in the morning." Mark will put the letter on the board with everything else, then he will go to his room to rest. 

The next morning, Mark will make breakfast for his friends and food for the pets, and will look at the board and try to see if there is anything new jumping out with this new information. 

Mark Investigation Check: 14

Mark is able to piece together a little more looking at the board and connecting some dots. It seems as though Ash and Zaerun have instigated a hot war between the Watch and Daask by trying to capture Dragonmarked people and forcing the Houses to back the Watch in bringing the fight to Daask. What remains to be seen is how the other gangs and the Sharn Council will act. Daask seems to be backed into a corner, which is a dangerous place to put an organisation like that.

I say all of that to the others, then I open the letter and read it out loud. I also toss the helm and glyphs to Elero to read.
