Another successful exploration of the city completed. I am still avoiding Upper Conch because of Ostian's warnings. However I have had my first glimpses of the plagues of crows and rats which I have heard about. There seems to be some malign intelligence driving these events which was obvious even in my first encounters. Apparently the Nebular University is investigating both matters. In any case, we have other problems.
Something happened recently that has made Diiri's Boys even more paranoid and brutish than usual. Some of our group have heard an attempt was made on the life of the Boys' derro leader, others that their infamous stimulants and soul-gems are becoming dangerously unreliable. Whatever the truth is the Boys have increased their security (if you can call more patrolling thugs "security") and are calling in debts. Arlow had an old debt to them and when he couldn't pay they broke his leg in several places. There were splinters of bone poking through the skin when we found him. We've reset the leg and rigged up a brace for it but unless we can take him to Kardeen, Arlow will be recuperating a long time.
I've made a few contacts in my explorations at least. The local herbalist, Pallat, is a cheerful lass and has been supplying us with medicinal herbs. Over in the Market District I found an apprentice smith named Dorindra who can supply us with affordable equipment for self-defence. I think we're going to need it.
