At Ellanzo's request we have been investigating the contacts mentioned in Hit Skip's paperwork. With the evidence in the documents and information coerced from Hit Skip we have identified the names and locations of a large portion of the Drow slave network located in Waterdeep. We've also taken the opportunity to learn more of Skullport, since it seems we are destined to go there soon. Its a nasty, lawless place teeming with slave traders and pirates from the surface trafficing with illithids, drow, beholders and less savory creatures from the Underdark. We will have to tread lightly there!
In the meantime, both Giovanni and Leif have been becoming more and more haggard. It seems that Leif is unable to sleep for more than an hour before he wakes screaming from a recurring nightmare. He can never remember what the nightmare is about, but he and his roommate Giovanni are not getting much sleep. Giovanni refuses to sleep in another room because of concern for his friend.
We stopped by Rose's shop to see if she had a remedy to help her son sleep. Rose went to mix some medicine, fell into a trance, and started talking to one of her invisible "friends". When she came to, she claimed that investigating the circumstances of her husbands death would be the best remedy for Leif's nightmares. Perhaps Leif's father is haunting him from beyond the grave? Could explain the form of his spirit companion.
Us: Where should we begin this investigation?
Rose: The files in Ellanzo's office would be a good start.
Us: Why don't we just ask him for the files?
Rose: Oh, you absolutely cannot do that! Ellanzo would be furious if you asked him!
Bahamut's Breath, this woman is frustrating!! So this nightmare remedy involves breaking into the office and stealing the files of an elected officer of the law that I respect? Now I'm having nightmares.
I know Rose doesn't care for Ellanzo and she's definitely a couple of eggs short of a cache, but experience has told us not to underestimate her advice. We asked Giovanni about this afterwards and he said that his father never talks about what happened to Leif's dad... and if pressed he does get angry. He reluctantly agreed that, given the chance, maybe we should take a peek.
