Charong opens the door as you leave, and outside surrounding the building there are nine masked, scale-armoured killers with dual glowing swords! Charong gets out a few words asking for you to buy time and he turns toward the back of the room, followed by the other two, and proceeds to open a concealed hatch under a rug and descend, as action proceeds. But a pall of utter silence falls across the whole scene as the assassins strike. Bog squares off with one at the door and quickly kills him. Two others take his place, and soon another, but Bog, Fraud and Boamund make short work of them without trouble. One is knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, Shrett stops one killer entering through a window in the study, and kills him before he can escape, as the interlopers (some of whom had made it in through bedroom windows) turn to flee. | Charong opens the door as you leave, and outside surrounding the building there are nine masked, scale-armoured killers with dual glowing swords!

Boamund goes to the hatch and descends into the cellar storeroom, spotting a hidden doorway set into the stonework of one wall; with wisps of smoke or mist coming through its edges. The outdoor hatches into the cellar are open, so Boamund closes them. He forces open the concealed door and is engulfed in thick, bitter-smelling gases but holds his breath and closes the door, seeing nothing beyond but a small room. He figures that Charong and friends must have escaped somehow, and returns to you with this news. | Boamund goes to the hatch and descends into the cellar storeroom, spotting a hidden doorway set into the stonework of one wall; with wisps of smoke or mist coming through its edges.
