Well, the group was a bit worse for wear from the guard detail after last week, so Omar and Tarresh had to pony up 600gp each for CCWs. Omar was broke, so Anwar paid for him.
That done, the group decided some shopping was in order and (with Neranna and her grandson Tiberius in tow) set off to the bazaar to pick up some necessities. The group went to an apothecary (Malik) where Omar was able to haggle down the price of smoke bombs and healing salves for the group. They then went to visit and armorer where Svetlana got fitted for some llamelar armor. On the way down the road to a weaponsmith named Hakim, the group was beset by 16 thugs working for Yadfa, who wanted to speak with the group about breaking into his bathhouse.
Things went the way these usually go and swords started swinging. The party did well, except for the mage setting the bazaar on fire and the druid getting dropped to negative, but nothing that turning over 89% of the treasure couldn't solve (89 eps and 9sp each) The group complained to the authorities and a court date was set for the following day.
The court case didn't go too well, but we did tick off Yadfa and met Qadi Hakim (a judge).
The following day we tried to see what happened to Selana the Pahari, but she was a no-show. Then information-gathering regarding Yadfa's thug-leader was tried to no avail. After that, the group paid another visit to Kadija (the backward-talking hag) in Yadfa's bathhouse. She asked the group to intercede for her with Beli'a to get her curse removed. The group agreed to help and were given a letter for Beli'a and told where to secure some treasure from a criminal enterprise to make an offering on Kadija's behalf to the Mosque of the Honored Elders to butter up Beli'a.
This was a standard cluster action for the group - we blew in, were jumped by lots of baddies (several higher level than us) set the place on fire, killed lots of folks, let the ringleaders escape, and rescued some slaves.
The criminal enterprise ended up being a Nereganti cult of Set who were sacrificing kidnap victims to Set. As per usual, we burned the treasure.
Following our outing we ended up in court again, but were able to prove our story and got minor accolades. The group called it an evening at this point.
Mission accomplished eps = 400 for good characters, 200 if not plus 200 more for the rescue and 445 each for the slayings.
Treasure included:
4 Shamshirs
+1 Battle Axe
Short sword
Brown Dragon-Hide Studded Leather Armor
1/2 Pale Blue Potion
Indigo Potion
Black & Blue Potion
[Black Pearl (200gp) -> This is being saved as Kadija's offering to the mosque.]
Party share of cash = 12gp, 11sp each.
