General Summary

Wendell and Alwin approached by Volothamp Geddarm at The Yawning Portal. His friend, Froon has been missing for 2 days and was last seen by Volothamp Geddarm at a tavern, on Candle Lane in the Dock Ward.
On the way to Candle Lane, the pair wander into Old Xoblob's Shop. He tells them that he saw a man matching Froon's description and another well dressed fellow 2 nights ago right outside his shop. He says the 2 men were attacked by 5 other men with winged snake tattoos and dragged off.
At The Skewered Dragon they speak to some regulars who saw Froon and Volothamp Geddarm have dinner. Volothamp Geddarm left and Froon stayed a bit longer. He drank and played cards with Ranear Neverember and the 2 left around midnight. 5 men were seen leaving behind them.
When the party asks where they can find the 5 men, they don't recognize any of them but suggested they were Zhentarim and there is a warehouse a couple of blocks over.
AT THE WAREHOUSE: They arrive at the warehouse and inside they find 3 Kenku and a Xanathar's Guild captain. 2 of the Kenku are killed while the 3rd and the guild member are tied up. The party finds Ranear Neverember hiding under some blankets in the store room. He tells them that the Xanathar's Guild came in and killed their original captors and took off with Froon believing him to be Ranear Neverember.
Both guilds want Ranear Neverember because they think he knows something about the money hidden under the city, but he has not spoken to his father in years.
The captured Kenku can only mimic and repeats some phrases: "Take the pretty boy to the back!" "Xanathar sends his greetings" "Follow the signs in the sewer."
When the city watch shows up, Captain Jonathan Staget warns them that trouble will not be tolerated on the streets. The only reason they are not under arrest is because Ranear Neverember is vouching for them. Instead, Captain Staget hands over a copy of the Code Legal
