"I found a couple keys.. I dont like the look of that alter but I suppose we should find the source of those sounds" Gilvert would say as he pockets the keys.

The bearded devil also had a set of keys and scooping those up you head back down the hallway.  The voices come from the prison room and you enter into it.

Two of the cells contain prisoners. The other four cells are empty.

The first prisoner is a short, lean, erudite male human who looks to be in his fifties. He wears an ankle-length caftan, and has dark hair. His neatly trimmed goatee beard is dyed crimson.

"My name is Falaster Fisk.  I had heard rumors that the Vanthampurs were sheltering Thavius Kreeg.  When I tried to find out why I was caught.  Please let me out.  I need to find out what Kreeg and Vanthampur are up to."

The second prisoner is a fit, aristocratic human woman who looks to in her seventies and identifies herself as Lady Satiir Thione-Hhune.  "The Vanthampurs kidnapped me and were planning to use me to keep the Hhunes from opposing Duke Vanthampur’s bid to become the new grand duke."  You immediately recognize the name as a patriar family from the Upper City.

Tibi bows to Lady Satiir, "Cracticus Tibicen,  Decionist of the Baldur's Gate chapter of Acquisitions Incorporated at your service Ma'am. How can my compatriots and I help?"  

"Help?  Let me out and you'll have the undying gratitude of the Hhune family.  We can reward you handsomely for this service." the woman replies.

While Tibi introduces himself to Lady Satiir, Darvin goes to unlock Fisk's cell. "I'm ah... well we may know something about that. They're not up to much. Any more. Because they're dead by our hands. But seems they were conspiring to have the whole of Baldur's Gate swallowed up into the nine hells, so.... pretty sure they deserved it?"

"Help?  Let me out and you'll have the undying gratitude of the Hhune family.  We can reward you handsomely for this service." the woman replies.

"Ma'am those words are as a song in my heart. Pray let us finish clearing this complex and we will escort you back to your residence. You may join with us or wait here in safety until we return?" Tibi responds 

"Well, I certainly do not wish to stay in this cell any longer.  I will come with you."  She says.

"And what about me gentlemen?"  Fisk asks.  "I obtained and memorized a floor plan of the dungeon under the Villa. I can thus lead you to secret rooms.  I work for Sylvira Savikas, an expert on the Nine Hells currently based in Candlekeep.   She’s been monitoring devil activity in Baldur’s Gate and Elturel for months. Sylvira is convinced that Thavius Kreeg struck a bargain with an archdevil, and that a copy of the contract he signed is hidden inside a magic puzzle box. She asked me to help her obtain proof of Kreeg’s crimes.”

"Right you are Ma'am" Tibi responds. Turning to Fisk ''''well I guess you'd better come along as well" Tibi says. He then leads the party back into the corridor and turns to the west. Turning to Fisk he says "show us your map then?"

Gilbert would hand over the keys, hoping that they are able to unlock the prisoners. "I am sure we can come to an agreement on a reward once we are out of this dungeon, don't you worry. Aquisitions Inc is here to help." Gil would add with a smile.

"I don't have a map, I have it memorized."  Fisk replies.

You discuss where you have been and Fisk points out the places that you have missed.  

Specifically

V21 - Wine Cellar

More than two hundred corked bottles of wine are displayed in seven-foot-tall wooden racks that span the west and south walls. Empty wooden crates are stacked in the middle of the room.

Treasure. Seventeen of the bottles contain fine wine (10 gp per bottle). The remaining wines on display are common vintages (1 sp per bottle).

V27. Escape Tunnel - Hidden behind a secret door, this tunnel has a wooden ladder at its north end. The ladder climbs a 15-foot-high shaft to a trapdoor which leads to the stablehouse at the NW corner of the Villa grounds.

and 

V34. Ritual Chamber - This ten-foot-high vaulted chamber has a plaster ceiling painted with images of terrifying winged devils looking down on a symbol embedded in the room’s floor: a circular disk of black stone inscribed with a nine-pointed gold star. Four wrought-iron candlesticks bristling with unlit, half-melted red candles surround the circle.

Do you tell Fisk and Hhune of the deaths of Kreeg and Vanthampur or walk around and they see them dead?

Darvin told him already (see my last post above)

After the party finishes exploring the complex, Tibi turns to Lady Satiir and says "Ma'am lets be getting you back to your place of abode then" to the others he says "we"ll pick up the other bloke on the way, the lady and her family might be interested in hearing what he has to say. If nothing else having him with us will lets us get out of the house without a fight - fingers crossed?"  

Fisk frowns at the news that Darvin gives.  "Dead eh?  And they were in league to have Baldur's Gate swallowed up into the Nine Hell's you say?  I wonder how they would accomplish that, beside cutting a deal with the devil Zariel?"  Seeing the rooms, the altars and the obvious signs of devil worship he is convinced.  "Did you find this puzzle cube?  It is very important. My employer, Sylvira, is no friend of Thavius Kreeg’s. She thinks she can open his puzzle box, and is willing to pay for it — in gold or magic items.”

(OOC: If they explore the rest of the place, Gilbet would pick up the 5 bottles of expensive wine (50GP))

Gilbert would quickly slide behind Tibi. "I don't think we should tell them about the box. Let's get out of here and get somewhere safe first' The Verdan would whisper.. trying hard to make sure he is not heard.

Gilbert would quickly slide behind Tibi. "I don't think we should tell them about the box. Let's get out of here and get somewhere safe first' The Verdan would whisper.. trying hard to make sure he is not heard.

"Ok" Tibi whispers back. He turns to Lady Satiir "Madam well that's all done now. Let's be getting you back to your place of abode"

You head back up the stairs and find the house is still quiet. Thurstwell is still tied up in his bedroom and you can retrieve him if you wish.  Fisk keeps saying that you need to find the box he mentioned. "I am loathe to leave the puzzle box behind for someone else to snatch up.  We need to find it, it is very important."

Do you stop to pick up Thurstwell?

Do you stop to pick up Thurstwell?

Tibi turns to Lady Satiir and says quietly "Ma'am do you know if we can trust this bloke?"

"He's the one you're worried about, Tibi? What makes you think we can trust this one?" Darvin says, gesturing toward Lady Satiir. "No offense ma'am. It's just we've had some bad experiences with Baldur's Gate nobles lately."

"Mr. Fisk, what is it about this puzzle box that is so important?"

"My employer feels that the proof of Thavius Kreeg's betrayal lies within.  Now that he is dead, it is the proof she will need to take further action and help try and restore Elturil.  I have searched for it but have not found the box."  Fisk replies to Darvin.

In response to Tibi's question Hhune scoffs.  "He is a Vanthampur, of course not.  But this one is weak.  It is his brother, Amrik, I would concern myself with.  But with their mother dead Thurstwell is nothing.  Amrik will take over the family.  But I will see that their family name is destroyed.  Their power in the city will disappear."

Thurstwell sags into even deeper depression upon hearing of his mother's death.  "She is dead then, please let me go.  I told you everything I know, I hold no power, it is Amrik who is the strong one.  Let me flee this city while I can." 

OoC: I think I misread Tibi's remark as being about Fisk, as opposed to Thurstwell. Darvin definitely doesn't trust Thurstwell.
