And so the party heads for the manor. They debate taking the passage to the docks first but decide against it. Entering the manor, they follow the hall to a large conference room. There is a balcony above them on one side and two doors in other directions. A long table sits in the middle. Suddenly, they hear people on the balcony and take to hiding. Cecil, Rurik and Telven under the balcony, Aeron, Selmer and Wan under the table. Cecil overhears some conversation to the effect that there may be intruders besides them. Then, Telven lights an oil-flask and tosses it onto the balcony. Wan runs up the wall to the balcony and ties a rope. Rurik and Aeron go through one door which heads to stairs leading to the balcony.

Selmer casts Magic Weapon on Rurik and Bless on the party. Cecil heads up the rope. Wan uses his psionic powers while Rurik, Aeron, and Cecil attack the two guys -- the half-orc mayor and Karn, the party's one-time ally. Meanwhile another person enters the room, jumps on the table and attacks Selmer. Telven heads after him while Selmer takes care of healing. The half-orc is knocked out, but the mayor is up and he pushes Cecil of the balcony. Rurik takes care of the mayor shortly, as a half-orc cleric joins the fray on the opposing side. The two combatants remaining flee.
