Synopsis [This game with 40% less snark]
Moriel Assi, a half-elven scribe from the Janathan Enclave, was charged by her mistress, Hinnar, to bail out Hak k ar, Theophilus, and Trista so that they could be questioned. Moriel did as she was told -- grudgingly -- and paid the bail for the trio.

While he was in jail, Hak k ar had befriended a goblin named Tlik Tallone, whose naive and trusting manner charmed almost everyone in the jailhouse. (The exception was the guardsman Hank, who just thought Tlik was annoying.) Tlik was scheduled to be executed that afternoon on charges of being a spy for the Hobgoblin Empire. Before they left, Tlik demonstrated the remarkable power of healing Theophilus with a touch -- the mark of a divine spellcaster, a tradition unknown to the supposedly atheistic hobgoblins. Hak k ar persuaded Moriel to help him rescue the goblin, but Moriel insisted they first speak to Hinnar.

Hinnar told the group that she believed Kizzaf, the bald mage they had questioned before, was in fact plotting against them. She wanted the group, along with Moriel, to investigate Kizzaf and ensure that her suspicions were right -- and to "take care of her" quietly, in a way that wouldn't cause the residents of Dreta Astar to distrust the enclave. Moriel seemed unhappy with being "loaned out," but she followed her orders. The group decided the first thing to do, though, was to save Tlik from execution.

After attempting to convince the guards with forged papers, Moriel and Hak k ar managed to convince Alnawin, the head jailer, that Moriel knew a powerful truth-telling spell (really just a skillful application of meaningless hand gestures and some Gifts of Magic effects) and demonstrated that Tlik was not, in fact, a spy. Alnawin, who liked Tlik anyway, fetched Magistrate Donnel, who had sentenced Tlik to death in the first place. He also fell for the trick, and agreed to let Tlik be remanded into Moriel's custody for a bail of 25 gold pieces. With Tlik free and now a member of the group, they set off to investigate Kizzaf's involvement in the disappearance of Ketrick and Elonn.
