Summary:
We nab a slave from the tunnel to take back with us for questioning by Doc's shadowy friends. We are laying low for now at the Pickled Bulban.
Sraverrah's Telling:
Date: Day of Shadow, morning.
When I awake, I recieve a sending from Doc. "new word from up top, grab someone for us to question, they just need to be able to speak. Kill anything else that sees you."
While we have been watching we've noticed that every four hours they reshackle the feet of the slaves to switch off the guard. We decide to kill all but one of the slaves durring the shift change because a slave would be an easier "ally" to make than one of the guards.
We walk up to the slaves and motion for them to be quiet while I assertain that they can speak common. Once that is taken care of, we sneak up on the guards and deal with them.

After the battle, I release one of the Gorans and have him follow me down the tunnel with one of the lanterns. Acorn catches up with us after killing the other gorans, and tells us that the guards came back early and he had to run.
After a while 4 small creatures attack us in the tunnels. They are exploding monsters, and part of the tunnel collapses after we finish with them. Eventually, we come out of the fountain, and discover it to be nighttime, and make our way back to Doc's house.
Geeves takes our potion and the gem to check them out for us while we talk with Doc. We take the goran down to the clinic, where Doc straps him down into a chair. Four dark men appear at that point, and Doc opens a cabinet with torture implements.
We are gestured out by Geeves, who has labled our stone and potion, and he also gives us a letter on our way out. We head to a new inn, no since in staying at any place for too long, named the Pickled Bulban, which we have heard is out of the way. The owner is a small Kokiri girl. There are portraits of her on the walls with pictures of very large fish that she has caught. "Good Job Sola" written below it.
The letter that Doc gave us says to lay low, that we will be contacted.
