    With the small bunk room (A5) empty of people the second door on the north wall is hastily opened. This one leads into a short corridor some 10ft long, filled with detritus, brushes, ragged blankets and other junk before reaching another stout wooden door. Similar to the western door from the main entrance (leading to A7) beyond this one you can hear wet sploshing sounds, faint conversation and as you stand there the sound a blow followed by tears....

    Waiting in the main office (A4) you can choose to head to the eastern door where the workshop sounded like it was (A7) or north to another part of the fishery (A8)

    "We want a clear path behind us, so I suggest we take that door next," Cassian says, pointing his sword at the last unopened door from the office (to A7).

    Andrei grimaces at the sounds of crying and will reconsider the use of the wand. He can imagine what spraying someone with it would look like, but it was arguable that some of the people in here deserved it. He'll assent to the opening of the door but will stick behind someone who could fight better then he could.

    The door opens up into a wide room and the smell hits you! The stink in this room is a mixture of fish and sweat and is enough to make the eyes water. Dominating the room is a large rough and stained wooden trough filled with a vile mixture of sea weed, brine, and half rancid and partially gutted fish. Filty river water and blood stains cover the floor in this room and a pair of wooden chutes lead from the trough into the northern half of the structure (A8) and by the double doors that led to the loading dock (A2) is a bare looking rickety desk and a stained and filthy wicker chair.

    In the room ~4 young children, looking to be some 8-13 stir and mix the chum, the two older boys pushing the vile slurry down the chutes and the younger ones fetch water of river water from buckets. A fifth child stands by the door in the top left corner (the door presumable leading the same room as the chum chutes). But the hulking bruiser with a whip i one hand and a savage looking musculed dog on a chain leash in the other hand draws your attention. You can hear the whimpers from the children as the dog growls and more than one of the children bears bloody bite marks on their thighs from the feral looking beast.
    The rough looking man, with piggy eyes and nose that looks like its been broken too many times whips around, a grin. "Oh, you think you're a tough one eh" he says as the door opens and you all barrel in with weapons raised.

    "Tough enough," Cassian replies, shield raised in case the thug tries something with the whip or unleashes the dog. "We're not here for you. Leave this place now and we'll let you walk away. Try anything and our swords will be the last thing you ever see."

    "The same goes for you, halfling!" Cassian adds. Pointing his sword at the fifth "child" standing alone by the door. "I see your blade. Leave now, or when we're through, we'll turn you both over to these children to do with as they please!"

    'You're very confident for someone this outnumbered. How do you think we got in here in the first place?' Andrei is mostly watching the Halfling by the door. If he was in their place he might consider running for help.

    At Cassian's words the mask of innocence on the halfling slips and he reveals an evil grin as he howls at the guard. "Kill 'em. We'll chum you lot up good, fed up to Gobbleguts inch by inch eh!" he trots forward to near the chum tank, the children throwing themselves to the ground near him, clearly terrified of the demented halfling as he whips a knife from his sleeve hurling it as Cassian


    Even as he does the man whistles to the dog and the mass of fur and teeth races at Andrei as he steps into the room, barking and biting ferociously. His master cracks the whip towards Cassian, the long rope trying to wrap around Cassian's throat! THe sound making the children cry out in terror.

    Sandrezi, who was definitely there the entire time, turned his attention over to the dog that was charging to Andrei near by. That was the closest threat he was going to be able to get to immediately, and even if it was a dog it could do a good amount of damage to them. With a small prayer to Sarenrae under his breath he drew both the scimitar and shield. He didn't want to hurt the creature unduly so he aimed, trying to strike with the flat of the blade.

    The sounds of the sudden clash of steel and the barking of the savage dog fill the room, even louder than the sudden wail from the children who drop the long (and vilely foul) cheap brooms they use to stir the chum and push it down the chute. As the dog leapt at Andrei Sandrezi moved to intercept it, his scimitar hitting a solid blow to the dogs chest, but it seemed to anger the beast more as the mass of fur and teeth whirls upon him, beside him Andrei hops backwards, lashing out and catching the beast on the nose.

    Not sure what the goal was?
    In the description sound like an unarmed attack, if it is, it hits but the d10+S-4 damage is soaked by the dog's T bonus.
    In the Spoiler it has a sleep attempt but that fails so the dog is fine.



    On other side of the room Bardin runs at Hookshanks and swings the hammer down hard. Despite his agility the little halfling isn't quick enough and the hammer clips his side, knocking him back. Hookshank stares angrily at Barind, growling under his breath, a muttered "I'll slit your throat beardy and rip yer tongue out from inside you." as the savage little creature whips out a pair of hooked knives.

    In the centre of the room the thug (Yarvik, a down and out bum and thug from the rough side of the Old Korvosa slums and now hooked on a variety of drugs that keeps him loyal to Lamn) is attacked by both Winifred and Cassian. He dodges sideways avoiding Winifred's attack, but sadly is too slow to avoid the well timed slashing blow from the young squire which hack heavily into Yarvin's arm he raises to defend himself. SHouting in drug addled rage he swings the club back towards Cassian's head.

    Sandrezi let out a yelp of pain as the dog thrashed and bit into him. The first thing he was going to have to do when he got paid was getting proper armor. It looked like the shield wasn't going to do as much. He waited for a moment to see if the spell would work, but when it seemed to fail he went back to trying to render them unconscious.

    The savage dog "Bloo" spins, fangs bared and dripping red from Sandrezi before with a deft slap of his hand the young mage manages to land the blow, a pulse of magic as the shadowy grey winds of of Uglu shrouded the dogs's head and it dropped to the ground, a loud snore from its mouth indicating sleeping not dead! Yagrin though was incensed, a bellow of "You killed Bloo, I'll rip ye' half y..."

    Whatever he was going to say was lost however as the blow from Winifred caught him in the mouth cracking his teeth. His dental issues were the least of his worries as a feeble attempt to parry steel with a whip met failure and with a pair of powerful blow as he swung left and right from high to low first the arm then the leg were brutally hacked off by Cassian and the dying Yagrin bubbled briefly before dying.

    Hookshanks was undeterred, even as Evelina managed to rap him on the head he rolled sideways not taking the brunt of the blow, and with some acrobatic ability flipped low, sliding on the fish guts underneath Bardin's massive hammer swing. Hissing at the children, a savage "I'll chop you later.." he skips backwards to the door by the chum chutes, the massive vat narrowing the path to get to him as he hammers at the door that leads further into the fishery

    The horrible little halfling ducks and weaves, the magic dart not forming in Andrei's hand and Winifred's arrow deflecting off the stinking chum barrel with a loud twang as it clips the fish gut stained metal. Cassian confronts the halfling, a blade swinging down but meeting only air as the halfling rolls under his legs, little blades hammering at Cassian, although the heavy shield takes the brunt of the impacts, on one of the sharp thrusts there is a horrific snap as the heavy metal shield boss hits the knife point on and the cheap varisian steel blade snaps in half!

    Winifred leaves the horrible little runt to the attentions of Cassian and Bardin - if he has sense he'll surrender - and moves to check the loading dock door. If shut is it barred and locked. If open what's outside and if the answer is nothing she'll close and bar it.

    There was a trick that Andrei had learnt how to do where he could use Ulgu to yank the knife right out of the Halflings hand. Fortunately that didn't seem to be necessary. To the children before they leave, 'And we'll try and deal with Gobbleguts as well if we can. Where does Lamm keep it?'
