Inros takes sight on the dog running across the catwalk and lets loose an arrow at it but it harmlessly thuds into the wall as it races down the stairs to the main floor.
Berel takes off down the stairs and meets the dog at the bottom and takes a swing at it and misses as the old hound dog moves faster than it looks. Thelix takes a swing at the orc which goes wide of the mark as the orc is trying to stay out of the way of the female warrior before it. Allarion makes a attack on the fast moving dog and misses also. The orc roars with laughter at you all and the dog is busy dodging attacks to make one of his own.
Berel grimassed, as his blade dug deeply into the plank. More to free it than anything else, he yanked it up, and almost incidently returned it to the fight against the evildoer. "surrender now, and it may spare your miserable life" he hissed, as his blade drew blood.
"Laugh all you want big man." says Sun Fei then adjusts her attack to take advantage of the glaring holes in his defense and strikes with vicious efficiency.
Concentration Check; Atk;Dmg;Sapphire Nightmare Blade Dmg (1d20+9=18, 1d20+3=23, 1d10+1d6+2=9, 1d6=3)
Crit Confirm(1d20 3=14)crit damage (1d10 2=10)
Allarion moves up to the dog and strikes: 1d20+1=20, 1d6+1=6 Waitaminute? Is that a possible crit using the short sword? It is!
Confirm: 1d20 1=16, 1d6 1=5
WOOT!
Andreas contemplates his unloaded crossbow with a slight look of disappointment in his face as he calmly observes how his companions make an apt display of swordsmanship.

The laughing half orc takes another swing at Sun with its flail missing again as the female warrior dances around his blow and delivers her own attack, hitting the orc who stops laughing as his mouth fills up with blood. Mean while Berel attacks the dancing dog and finally stops the dog in its tracks as it tries to take a nip at Berel in return but fails as Berel's great sword takes the dogs head off sending it across the floor. An arrow strikes the falling orc and a sword strike digs into the dogs body making sure the enemy is dead for sure.
The boys seeing all the blood shed bolt up the stairs you came down and fly out of the room. By the time the battle is over they are out of the building and scattered to the winds, never to be seen again.
Berel saw the children scatter before the invaders, and secretly was glad for it. It meant that there would be less chances for horrible incidents along the way. "Alright. Let us press on. I would not want Lamm to get away at the very last moment"
"I agree with Berel. We need to keep on. Should we head in where the dog came from?"

Your standing in the middle of the room looking at the north wall. The north wall is over the water. To your left is a stairwell that leads up to where you came from.....to your right your see another stairwell(catwalk) that leads up into parts of the building that you have not seen in a while for those who have been here before....There is a large vat behind you which stinks of fish. To your right your see a whole in the floor where they bring up fish from the river. those are the three exits in the room. Underneath the catwalks you see hamocks for the boys to sleep in.....
"I'm not here for fishing or treasure hunting; I'm here for one reason: killing Lamm. Once that's done, you can fish as much as you like."

"I doubt the fish vat holds anything of value but it might be worth a look. Also, I don't want anything that is hiding in it to sneak up behind us. How about we surround it and probe the water with a long weapon? Unfortunately, my sword is just long enough for working up close."
There are large poles against the wall that are used by the boys to stir the fish mixture you remember
"Let us go over this whole floor before thinking of following other venues. Nothing worse than leaving enemies behind to cut or backs" Andyr nods at Inros, "looking for the origin of the dog would be a good course of action... but let us be ready, his barking has probably alerted others". He readies again his crossbow, a smirk revealing his frustration at his lack of accuracy.

"I'm not here for fishing or treasure hunting; I'm here for one reason: killing Lamm. Once that's done, you can fish as much as you like.""If the fish in that vat is capable of climbing out and biting we should know now, when we can surround it, rather than let it follow us out of the room."
You stir around the vat with one of the large poles but find nothing but a fowl smell as you stir...

Your group heads up the catwalk the dog came from and go through the open door into a small hallway (10 ft long) and see another open door leading into what you'd guess as the main room you first looked into (the front door of the building). You can see that the door is also wide open and a man is fleeing out of it into the street beyond.....
Inros breaks into a panicked run after the man, holding his empty bow in one hand as he runs. "Someone is running away!"
Berel's first instinct was to give chase, and since the young noblemen never had been the brightest one, he followed that impulse immediately, sprinting after the fleeing criminal.
Sun Fei gives chase as well when she sees the man running from the building.
"Some of us should stay here and keep watch on the door... maybe Lamm is still inside and that's some kind of decoy". Andreas walked to the street door and stood by it, crossbow on the ready, keeping a close watch.
Thelix takes a moment to explore the room the man just bolted from.

Berel, Sun and Inros give chase down the street after the fleeing man..He is real fast and you keep pace but are not gaining on him...
Mean while Thelix searches the room and sees a single desk that sits in the middle of the room, a moldy chair pushed up agaisnt the far side. A small pile of ratty furss and straw is heaped under the table. On the desk you see a pile of papers, mostly dealing with orders or delivery times.
Andreas guards outside the fishery, he sees his fellow haters of Lamm run off down the street after an unknown man. After they are out of site it gets quiet again around the fishery.

Thelix carefully searches the Desk (Take 20 for a total of 21)

The unknown man stays ahead of you all and begins to turn on to another street. Hal throws a dagger at the man but does not come close to hitting him.
Andreas sees nothing entering or leaving the fishery as you stand guard outside.
Thelix finds more paper of the same from on top of the desk plus some old moldy food scraps.
Having little in the way of good long ranged offense, Sun Fei tries to think of ways to get past the running man and cut him off but can't think of anything.
"That man is not Lamm. Therefore, that man is not important!" Allarion scowls and heads back inside, looking for a door to try that hasn't been tried before. Seeing one, he heads through it, sword drawn.

Inros takes aim and lets fly an arrow at the fleeing man. The man stumbles as the arrow hits him in the back, he spralls out onto the street and lays there in pain, he trys to get at the arrow but he can't reach it. Sun who was about to run off in another direction to cut him off stops and runs up to the man followed by Inros.
Hal and Berel join the others back at the fishery, He sees Andreas keeping an eye on things outside while Thelix is in the main room searching around. Allarion burst thru on of the doors in the main room and sees a pair of bunk beds sitting against the far wall of this room to either side of a boarded up window.
I turn the man over, and get face to face with him. "Where is Lamm?" I ask with a growl. "Be quick and truthful, or my friends and I will show you pain you never imagined."
"Quick! The man we chased said Lamm is in a boat in the back!"
Sun Fei, standing over the dying henchman, nods to the other two and takes off running back to the fishery to tell the others.
