==Recollections by Jorg==
Shander asked the [[Magistery]] to get rid of thugs occupying her inn because they’re driving paying customers away. I inform my out-of-town colleagues that running a racket in this district is not only odd, but unprofitable, given the risks. Ruffians guarding door are all clad in black and do not bear weapons.

Acting on [[Zanna]]’s plan to sneak in from the side entrance, everyone but I bumble in. Shander is rude and presumptuous, unaware that we were never provided details of her situation or the severity it poses. She tells us that the gang is holed up in the basement and calls itself the “[[Black Ice Gang]]”. Their apparent leader is Daka, who is not out front. During our talk, the thugs from the front door enter and Zanna tries to reason with them. Failing to see their retreat as the strategic move it was, we are berated by Shander as she informs us that the basement entrance is outside! Acting quickly, I followed the ruffians out the front door. I stopped one and captured another for interrogation, but the others made it to the basement before I could catch them. Thankfully, my companions flanked them and stopped another one from warning Daka. 

Upon interrogation, we learned that the Black Ice gang is run differently than other gangs. This group of the Black Ice is run by Daka. The child was terrified of his situation, me, and his choices. Having promised mercy if he divulged all he knew, I released him and I doubt we will see him in the Black Ice gang again. I told [[Franklin]] to allow the child a position with House Dal’s guard training, but alas, I am uncertain where the child’s fear drove him.

[[Rezik]], the macabre elf, wanted the severed head to scout the basement, but Zanna had already slipped in to scout dangers. I am becoming more impressed by Zanna’s resourcefulness, but Regex’s flair for the theatrical is very entertaining. Zanna and [[Sarya]] hear an ominous “Dakasuta hungry!” from behind a slightly ajar shelf-door. Two massive lackeys crash out of the hidden room. 

I have trouble remembering how the fight occurred, but I remember narrowly dodging a BALLISTA BOLT and hiding behind my shield. My many injuries seemed to allow my companions to fell Dakasuta and her cronies. Afterward, I claimed Daka’s Light Ballista for my own and have Franklin carrying a Black Iron Greatclub wielded by one of the massive attackers. I figure I’ll keep this snowflake patterned patch of the Black Ice Gang as a memento, the others will probably submit it for evidence.
