The heroes met up at Mac-E-Roni's, where a shady individual was seen going into the back. Klast confirmed this was not one of the employees, as his mother was not controlling them.
A giant spider (Lith) poofed in behind the intruder and serenaded the hooded stranger with one of her favorite songs (the itsy bitsy spider). For some reason the intruder ran. But was stopped by our heroes. The person was an elf with black hair and metal beneath their face. Not very talkative.
The metal elf exploded, but with the body still largely in tact, a small chest was retrived from inside its chest. It appeared to be magically closed, but Klast's beholder dad was unable to nullify the spell keeping it closed
The heroes met Solana, on her first day on the job with Top Side security. Break ins have been reported in the living quarters as well, but nothing was taken.
The heroes encounter three more fleeing individuals in the corridors and stop them; all were carrying sacks with random items of little value stolen from various locations. They discover all the shops have been hit, including Isva's Hand Orphanage's Workshop. Yuna Keen is PISSED, but thankfully all the kids are ok. In all cases, all the occupants were knocked out and random items were taken, none of any particular value.
The team heads to
Caiel's dad's shop
Chads-R-Us because the idea of these guys getting a void ship seems BAD. After getting shot by cannons, our heroes stopped all the elf-automatons, resulting in damage to a valuable voidship. Caiel's dad is delighted at the idea of sweet sweet insurance payouts.
The heroes then heads to the Casino to see if Little Nicky can help. Little Nicky opens the chest recovered from the android, revealing a scroll that says You're too late. We have retained the captured commander and left'.
The heroes consult the Lady, who tells them all prisoners are accounted for. The record is updated to indicate that Caeil saved three orphans today. The heroes meet up with Solana at the Juice Bar and hear of a break in at the Captain's office.
At the Captain's office, they discover three masked individuals trying to assassinate Captain Miriad! All the thefts were a distraction all along!
The heroes stopped an assassination attempt on Captain Miriad!
