Dingo moves at amazing speed to the sauna and casts a spell. A torrent of snow, rain and hail disables sight to the legionaries
Thank you. Meet me at the Crumbling Caryatid, it's in the north of Azir., Eando says, then rushes for the secret exit.
Jakarno casts an illusory sleet storm, and all legionnaires seem to fall for it.
Retreat, retreat the Legionaires in the sauna shouts, followed by a careful shuffling and the sound of a man slipping and falling.
With the panicked shouts of their companions clearly audible, the other legionnaires turn to deadly tactics: two of them attack, while the third moves around.

Pandora emerges through the illusionary sleet and bites the legionnaire with her sharp teeth.
Pandora approaches the sleet as close as she can without being harmed by it. She then readies a bite attack towards the first legionnaire at reach.
Elenial moves back to the pool area, while Pandora defends the edge of the sleet storm by herself.

Pandora bites the fleeing legionnaire in the ankle as he tries to get away. He let out an angsty yelp as he tries to get free and runs for it. Elenial's attack is far clumsier, and strikes only damp air.

Once she is sure the legionaries are left, Pandora stealthily moves up to the area of the cloakroom and delivers her token with a grin "This baths are a bit messy, I will better leave now, can I have my belongings please?" If possible she will help retrieve her companions equipment too.
Once she has everything, she doesn't wait to fit inside her armor, but instead descends to join the party and follow the Taldan man secret passage.
The pathfinders manage to escape through the sewer, and Pandora manages to discreetly retrieve the group's adventuring gear once the smoke has cleared. Meeting up with Eando at the Cumbling Caryatid, he seems most displeased: Great job you did there, blowing my cover! he says sarcastically.
I know where the Riftwardens are, but it’s not an answer you’re going to like, Kline says with grimace. They attempted a raid on a compound full of Blackfire Adepts who were masquerading as slavers, but the plan didn’t work as they had hoped. For all their talent at magic, the Riftwardens aren’t the best at keeping their heads down when planning an attack. The Blackfire Adepts caught wind of their plan and struck first, capturing all four of the Riftwardens perhaps a week ago. From what I’ve been able to gather, the Blackfire Adepts are planning on moving to greener pastures—which could mean practically anywhere other than Rahadoum—and they’ve been making the most of their remaining time in Azir by interrogating their captives rather ruthlessly. It seems the Blackfire Adepts just can’t pass up a good opportunity to gloat over their arch nemeses, but they’re sure to tire of it soon and just execute the lot of them. Last I heard, the slavers are departing on a caravan the morning after tomorrow, and you can bet that the Riftwardens will be dead before then.
The compound is in the northwestern edge of the city, a quieter part of town, which is probably why the Blackfire Adepts chose the location.
Eando also offer a bit of free advice, frustrated as he is from the experience in the bathhouse: [b]Remember that explosions and swordplay are fine in a dungeon, but you’re looking at an urban raid in a city with a good police force at an estate that pays its taxes. Once you start cutting down Blackfire Adepts, you won’t have long before the local guards surround the place. Act decisively.[/b

Shadow Lion takes the man aside for a moment.

There is quite a bit of rumours in the city, something about a group of renegades attacking Legionnaires in the bathhouse. For some reason, the Legionnaires were unable to give a thorough description of the attackers, and most onlookers just talk about 'sudden fog' and 'glittering particles'. A strange tale indeed.
The Blackfire Adepts’ compound is located in the northwestern edge of the city, which tends to see slightly less foot traffic. The compound purchases a large quantity of fish soup and bread each day to feed the slaves, and the owners allow the delivery people to enter the compound. Depending on the circumstances, a serious incident could see the city watch show up in anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes. The compound has its own guards, but they can’t compare to the full force of Azir’s city watch.
As is the case in most parts of the Inner Sea region, the Blackfire Adepts are not tolerated in Azir. Although tipping off the authorities would ensure that a small army descends on the Blackfire Adepts, the Pure Legionnaires would almost certainly round up any they find on the property for questioning—including the party and Riftwardens. Few would dare deny the Pure Legion entry, and even the Blackfire Adepts would likely admit these soldiers to avoid causing a larger incident. Several nearby robberies over the past month have inspired the city watch in this district to patrol more frequently; they would likely show up in 5 to 12 minutes of anyone sounding an alarm.
The compound is of considerable size, it spans about 150-ish feet on the side of the road. I'm pretty sure there is more than one way in - you may want to scout it out.
The Blackfire Adepts seek the destruction of civilization using terrible outsiders. They’re not nice people, and the Riftwardens oppose them. If you need a comparison, think of them like the Aspis Consortium to your Society, though that assumes either side qualifies as ‘the good guys.’
Endow remains friendly, but staunch: Look, sir, you shouldn't test my patience. The fact that I'm aiding you doesn't mean I have any desire to rejoin the service of the Decemvirate, or with anyone associating with them. I have my own business to tend to, and my business is my business.

[b]"I apologize for the fuss we caused in the baths, although I think the invisibility spell I cast on you helped you out a lot. Perhaps you could do me a favor in return, if you would happen to have any information regarding the whereabouts of someone called the Diamond Sage?
[ooc]Hope that is enough, with a possible circumstance modifier. Wink, wink, nod, nod, know what I mean?
Eando doesn't quite react well to the insinuation that he owes Kintampo a favour. Instead, he ignores the question and asks: You mentioned Sascha Al-Sharif earlier. What news do you have of her?

Kintampo waits for a reaction for a bit and then departs "Just say so when you don't know!" he grumbles as he moves away.
After joining up with his fellow pathfinders he asks "So how are we to do this? I am not that good in the sneaky stuff, as some Aspis agents in Bloodcove where happy to point out to me."
Kintampo discovers that the sewers of Azir extend to the Black Adepts’ compound, but as the surrounding area has become drier and drier over the centuries, little water flows there. A set of doors near the compound’s foundation in the sewers may grant access to the facility.
