190th King's Age, Free Year 12, Day 151-153

&nbsp We arrived at Stalsthorn Manor without problem, and even got inside. However, conversation quickly went sour once it was revealed that we were the Misfits... AKA this exact manor's escaped slaves, who defied Jarvi Stalsthorn and then later tore the arms off of a Stalsthorn messenger. All we managed to do was confirm that the mercenaries are the Firefangs.
&nbsp We set up camp north of the manor and attempted to infiltrate it, but our plans continuously failed and resulted in a fight on the roof from which we had to flee. The place is chocked-full of armed men.
&nbsp We are now going back to Tyr to regroup and figure out a new plan.

190th King's Age, Free Year 12, Day 146-150

  While investigating the murder of the leader of House Kuo-Za,  we've run into a problem. While it is apparently some kind of dark beast that has had a hand in the murder, the memories of all those around the event have been wiped. We must restore the memory of some of the Thri-Kreen guards to figure out what happened.  To do this, we enlisted a wizard that takes residence in one of the merchant houses in Tyr.
  After fetching a staff for this wizard, he agreed to help. During the event, we found out that the old man that was seen in the gardens of Kuo-Za-Grin Manor was actually some kind of daemon. The daemon infected one of the guard's of house Kuo-Za's. This guard ultimately killed the house Head with a conjured blade.
  The wizard also detected, in the ritual, a dark entity that is within Marquis. We don't yet know how to exorcise this dark power.
  We went on to figure out what to do next. Whilst in the Warrens, Arcadius learned that the Toothcutters are in bad shape since our time in the Shadowfell. The next day, when he went to find out how he could help, he was jumped by Iron Rats. They beat the living shit out of him and took him captive. The rest of us had to save him the next day. We met with the Toothcutters and left with the elf Bibly and two others to free the Toothcutter prisoners.
  After an intense fight in which Bibly and another elf died, we defeated the Muls and freed Arcadius. However, once we returned to the Toothcutter hide-out, Endok revealed that he cannot trust us, as a team, due to the fact that we demanded money each step of the way and denied fallen Toothcutters a proper burial. So we have been sent on our way.
  The next day, house Kuo-Za had a public conference with King Tithian. We attended. Irla demanded that the King needs to stop the dark forces that murdered her husband from entering the city. Ultimately, house Kuo-Za threatened to leave the city entirely. The event wound up the crowd and threats and complaints were thrown at the King and his Elven advisor, who some people associate as an evil witch. The crowd began to riot, and that's when the rats showed up.
  Seemingly out of nowhere, rats filled the already packed royal chamber. We left with Shoz and the rest of House Beryl. After meeting at House Beryl for the first time, we decided that we would find out what is going on as Stalsthorn Manor outside of town. There are reports that a gang of mercenaries, possibly the Firefangs, have entered the manor and are doing something there.
