Mistress' Bedroom (Abadius (I) 17th, 4708 AR)

The raktavarna fought as best it could in concert with its mistress, but the heroes killed it. When the heroes did not force her into close combat, the Mistress used her energy bolts to target as many heroes as possible, following up with with a beam of fire in between her viper arms attacks.

The cells contained two prisoners: elven dilettante Syrdathiel and Josiah were the only prisoners. Syrdathiel was just brought here a short while ago. Josiah was a cleric of the local temple of Shelyn. Josiah became suspicious of evil supernatural activity in the community some time ago. When he investigated the Glass Menagerie one night, the rogues picked him up and imprisoned him. Since then, the Mistress has been torturing him. Syrdathiel's interrogation and torture had been left to the gang's resident sorcerer, who had only just begun toying with the recent arrival. Two Crowsworn thugs assisted him in managing the prisoners . Each of the three Crowsworn in the room also had a skeleton key that opened the cells within. Josiah told the heroes of the torment he's experienced at the hands of the Mistress, whom he described as a sultry woman of incredible evil who he was certain wasn't actually human as she appeared.

The Lair of the Crowsworn (Abadius (I) 17th, 4708 AR)

After the Crowsworn were defeated, the two local constabularies - the Ivy District Watch and the Brotherhood of Abadar - arrived simultaneously, whereupon they vied to take statements on what occurred and to escort important citizens and politicians back to their homes. Afterward, many survivors chose to remain to gather their wits, speak to the authorities and comfort one another. Since two of the Crowsworn survived the encounter, the heroes forced them to reveal the location of their hideout. Sendeli was grateful to the heroes since they made an effort to protect her, her restaurant, and the Golden Serpent's patrons, and remained on the scene to chat with them. She offered a special boon for the heroes, who were exceptional in their interaction with her during the hostage crisis, exhibiting particularly heroic acts and cunning.
