Session Summary - 12/15/2019

The party decided to go to the street of potters after hearing about it from the dragoman. Faraz Najjar's new shop was said to be on this street. The dragonman said that the locals were afraid of a burned down building, having said that it was caused by some fire-beast.

Bower and Hammerschmidt keep watch while Alabama breaks into the shop. Hammerschmidt sees Faraz returning, and throws a rock at a window to signal to Alabama to get out, giving him enough time to escape.

The party returns and tries to talk to Faraz, but he screams for help and starts banging a sword on the counter. Some friends of his show up and chase the party into a nearby alley. The investigators beat and intimidate them into surrender.

The items: Scroll showing location of a hidden chamber in the pharaoh's tomb,Bust of the black pharaoh, and a drum with a large zircon and strange writing on it. Faraz stole the items from Omar al Shakti. He claims that the brotherhood set some "fire demon" loose on the shop.

The brotherhood breaks in through the windows and one cultist blows Faraz's brains out. Jurgen kills one cultist with his blackjack and the other two escape.

After escaping the scene, the party regroups at their hotel and rest for the evening. In the moring, the dragoman informs the party that he has succeeded in tracking down the dutchman, who is currently living in the back of a tailor's shop in the Street of Moths.

The part leaves to speak with the dutchman. After plying him with food and drinks, he agrees to discuss his recent troubles with the party. He has come into possession of a trio of scrolls written in ancient hieroglyphics that seem to describe the methods of casting spells. One scroll describes how to speak with Bast, one describes how to bind cats, and the last describes how to bind crocodiles. The dutchman admits that since he acquired the scrolls, he feels he has been watched at every turn by cats. The party agrees to help him translate the scrolls.
