Could someone let me know what is happening?
The group was questioning Rik, marking traps, and searching for treasure at the house when Schurke and Forza, who were watching outside, spotted a shadowy figure heading toward the house. They attempted to stop him, but met resistance. Schurke managed to get to the house to warn the others and Forza fell victim to some paralyzing effect thanks to a failed save.
The shadowy figure arrived, as did several others, in an attempt to retrieve Rik. Istvan got into a fire fight with two of them outside and the rest entered the front door. One of the twins questioned Rik and the other remained invisible. Vincent got the combinations to the locks/traps from Rik and proceeded to loot the bedroom where we scored some gems and mithral powder. Natsu, Remy, and Traguna got shackled and beaten with batons by the shadowy assault team. Istvan's monkey got brutally killed, Schurke escaped, and Rik was eventually put into a fireman's carry by one of the shadowy figures and taken out of the basement. Tragorum managed to magically stun him and knock him down the flight of steps. The shackled group eventually escaped and we all met back at the guild house. Esme scolded us for lingering too long and then we set our minds on checking out the sunken treasure at the docks.
After some planning, Tragorum went out to sea and encountered a Lizardman pirate (name escapes me) swimming around an enormous stone dome protecting the sunken ship. He made a deal with Tragorum for 20% of the loot if he could get him through the wall. Tragorum returned to get buffed with spells, potions, and some nifty chemicals from Ganshuk to eat the stone away. The heist was a success and the pirate swam at frighteningly fast speeds six hours away to an isolated island where he gave Tragorum his loot and swam away. He's now stranded on a rock in the middle of the ocean. Judging from the previous post, it appears Natsu has a recovery plan in place. That's where we stand at the moment.
