The Pathfinders have time to help the dockworkers douse the conflagration. With the fire under control, Harbormaster Molnesh approaches the Pathfinders.
"I lost of several members of my team from the explosion... and the crew of the Sixwing Drake also perished..." but then she corrects herself, vigorously shaking her head as if to clear her mind of unpleasantness.
"Weird, I remember the ship’s crew seemed unfamiliar to me, which is odd, because she have known the fellow Pathfinder and captain of the ship, Captain Zendrani for many years. I remember that the crew rapidly disembarked and vanished into the city. I recall that a pale-skinned man arrived from the city and somehow convinced me that his companions should be allowed to take the shipment and leave several barrels behind in its place. I thought this was a perfectly normal idea, despite how foolish it sounds now, and now I recall that I readily complied with the request." she realizes what just happened.
One of the surviving dockhands, a young Taldan man with light skin and dirty brown hair, steps forward, wiping his sooty hands on a rag.
"Where have you been, Dornelium?" the harbormaster asks.
"I just arrived, just in time to help put out the fire. I hid when the strangers came to take the shipment, avoiding whatever “foul magic” they used on the rest of the dockhands. I tried to speak with you, but decidednto set out to follow the strangers myself. I followed them all the way to an abandoned tavern in the Puddles district and waited a while, but finding no easy way in and seeing no further activity, I returned to the docks."
Dorneliun shares the tavern’s precise location with Molnesh and the Pathfinders. She gives the Pathfinders a pouch of gold coins worth 14 gp. "Take this, as consolation for your help. I will investigate further. Find this tavern and see what you can find."

"They were wearing hoods and their body features are hid under their clothings so I can't really tell much." Dornelium responds honestly.
"And they are like four of them." he adds.
The Pathfinders’ path to the abandoned tavern takes them through a crowded market square in the Puddles district. A few dozen merchants and shoppers mill about, going about their daily business.
When they pass through the market square, they can see that merchants hawk their wares from colorful stalls as a few dozen shoppers mill about a cramped market square, selecting goods, haggling, and making trades. The eclectic vendors here sell everything from clothing, food, and spices to alchemical items and weapons.
The dockhand’s directions indicate they should take the relatively empty street directly north of the market, which leads toward an obviously run-down neighborhood in the distance. When they begin to head down the street, they hear a strange rush of air followed by sudden shouts of alarm and an incessant buzzing. The creatures seem to emerge from the shadow of the fountain at the center of the market!
Several people at the edge of the market manage to flee immediately, but numerous patrons remain in the area, trying in vain to hide under and behind the market stalls. Unfortunately, Cloak flies toward one of the unfortunate merchants and tries to attach itself to them and begins sucking the poor merchant's blood.

The grateful merchants give them two oils of potency and a bronze bull pendant before they leave. The Pathfinders continue to proceed north to the abandoned tavern. A large, windowless, single-story tavern occupies the center of this run-down, dead-end street. Stairs lead up to a small landing on the west side. On the landing, the large wooden double doors that serve as the building’s only entrance are boarded up.
Rybar easily breaks the double wooden door with a forceful push. Looking inside, it is dark but they can somewhat see over a dozen tables and countless chairs crowd the interior of this tavern, all scattered about in disarray.
A voice from the dark side of the room scares Rybar. "You are not supposed to be here!"

Olegaro will reflexively block the first blow with his shield. but then staggers back a half step as he almost gets felled, his shield in tatters on his arm.
With a slight quaver to his voice he'll respond "Oh I think we are. Who are you to torch a Pathfinder Society ship though?"
Olegaro will wait for Zepth's familiar tune and then
◆ quickly patch himself up w/Battle medicine for healing
◆ Swing at B to trip him with his flail
◆ Strike with his flail for bludgeoning damage
but he's still looking a bit pale from the massive hits

"It's a trap!" Zepth words echo in unison with Hanu and the bard quickly makes use of the cacophony of their voices to weave his anthem in them, followed by a ghost image of impending death into one of their assailants mind.

Whoa, Olegaro! Are you okay?
Moist noticed how hard the hits to him sounded. He doesn't imagine his squishy form would have withstood them at all.
Hmm, crowded.
Moist creates a distraction light display behind the enforcers!
You create a simple illusory sound or vision. A sound adds the auditory trait to the spell and the sound can't include intelligible words or elaborate music. A vision adds the visual trait, can be no larger than a 5-foot cube, and is clearly crude and undetailed if viewed from within 15 feet. When you Cast or Sustain the Spell, you can attempt to Create a Diversion with the illusion, gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to your Deception check. If the attempt fails against a creature, that creature disbelieves the figment.
Figment Your minor illusions shift and dance. The range of figment increases to 60 feet. When you Sustain the spell, you can move the apparent sound or vision up to 15 feet. You can then attempt to Create a Diversion as usual. Those creatures who disbelieved the illusion aren't affected by this diversion. Your figment also gains the following amp.Amp When you amp the spell, you can create a particularly distracting illusion as part of its normal effects. Choose an unoccupied square within the spell's range. The illusion in that square provides flanking for a single melee attack made before the beginning of your next turn. If you Sustain the spell, the details of the illusion change and shift to keep your enemies unsettled; the flanking illusion's duration extends until the beginning of your next turn and you can move it to any unoccupied square in the spell's range. The flanking illusion can't provide its benefit against any creature who has disbelieved the figment.
Concentrating again, he then manifests a shield in front of Rybar.
Moist gets the attention of the enforcers to look behind them. He then provides shield for Rybar.
Scout notices the blunt assault before it hits them. Hanu plants a protector tree inside the building. Rybar has no weakness to exploit from Scout but has everything he needs to create one. He then retaliates against Scout, missing at first but taking out the same from the heat of the battle.
Otani flanks against his target and slices Enforcer B.
