18: Return to the surface (1st-4th of Tarshak)

After visits to the friendly neighborhood wizard and poison dealer, the party ventured to the warehouse which contained the slavers passage Luigiana had used previously to escape from skull port. In attempting to create a distraction, Jacq almost blew his hand off but the party managed to sneak past the duregar who were storing weapons in the building and enter the tunnel to the surface. During the trip to the surface the party murdered an innocent band of Zhentarum slavers and decided to bring the slaves along with them. After passing through an illusionary wall the party paid the owners of the Blue Mermaid for their passage and went out into the city.

Cyclone went shopping, Oxy investigated Ivy's lost wagon and then stashed her slaves at a nearby boarding house. The party then retired to their beds for a night's rest.
