Part 1 - Investigating the Mercenaries

The Heroes hide the bodies of the leadership of the recruiting mission on the roof of a nearby Brothel, then escape the Alienage. They spend some time evaluating the documents and the loot they have recovered from the warehouse raid. They have copies of the mercenaries' contracts and learn.

The mercenaries number around 250 warriors divided among three leading Companies, plus a loose collection of around 50 independents warriors or small bands.

• The White Tigers, a Company of 90 warriors from the Karejian City-States based out of their Warship, the White Tiger. Captain Athved leads them.
• The Iron Legion is a collection of 60 former members of the Azeryani Legions led by Captain Eanfrith, based out of the Warship King Kurnis's Lion.
• Breva's Raiders is a rough collection of 50 Ivinian Vikings led by Captain Breva.

The party has recovered funds that were intended to feed this army for another month. They note that the mercenaries have not been paid over winter. The Army intends to leave port for the Kingdom of Rethem in early Spring, once the erratic seasonal winter weather subsides.
