"Anna" : Anna Phylaxis Shock (Steven Krijnen), Halfling Fighter (parry)
"Dingus" : Dingus the Whip (Ian Luxton), Elf Fighter (str)
"Gamblin" : Gamblin Chips (Shane Barr), Half-elf Priest 21

"Ron" : Ron da Vue (Steven Krijnen), Human Nuke TF

Return to the pawn shop.

Party spot looters already inside so rush in themselves.

Newcomers Francine the Elf and Gamblin Chips, priest of 21, guard the door.

Anna and Dingus encounter and slaughter looters with arrows

Militia arrive to stop looting.

Party questioned.

Rory casts Charm on Militia Sergeant.

Militia turn nasty, beat Rory unconscious and drag party down to local lockup in chains.

Rory put up on charge and others questioned.

Party all let out. Priestess Monotony gets militia pass so that they can investigate the building legally: "Licence to Loot".

UGW (Wizards' Guild) advocate arrives to defend Rory. He convinces Militia to let Rory out on bail. Trial set for two weeks. Advocate assures Rory that all charges will be dropped, but that he will have to face a UGW punishment for bringing The Guild into disrepute. A flogging and having his ankles broken. Rory interprets this to be a metaphor rather than literal, so he is happy.

Back at Pawn shop, party finds many traps. The cash drawer is protected by a magical trap. Anna "Trap Detector" Shock told to open the drawer. She does and the trap goes off. No wussy Fire Traps this time. She is turned to stone.

Total loot from Pawn Shop is +1 dagger and a Dart of Wizard Slaying (multiple use) plus 130gp per looter. Also find the Articles of Association for the United Starfall Workers Union.

Ron had spirited out a pewter bottle that detected magic and a magical long sword. Both these items had to be hastily hidden in rubbish down an alley before departing with the militia. When return, they were gone.

Party look for Stone to Flesh spell. Will cost 3500gp from Guild (10% discount for members) so they give up and sell the statue of Anna to a collector. She is worth more naked so a Stonecutter is hired to break off her petrified clothes.
