15/7/42 Aper Tertius (midday)
The group attend lunch with Lady Servia. Light conversation happens but as the main course starts, someone runs in. They report that Cato's research office has been raided. The group set off at speed.
They find Cato's office, also his house, has been ransacked. They find evidence of the Cato crest 'Scientia et Pertinacia' (Knowledge and Determination) that could be used to locate him. The investigation shows that interpretive notes were taken and a minor scuffle had ensued.
Tian gathers information and finds Taa, the local gossip, who manages to drawn some extra information out of the Dragonborn. Tian however gathers that the Shepherd's gang had kidnapped Cato and his assistant for reasons to do with their work.
The group head across town, following Cato using a locate object. He appears to have been moved somewhere else first as he is still within range. The group also note that they are being followed by a halfling and a half-orc. The groups begin to converge on a location and both begin to sprint. The Shepherd's half-orc and Belam both fall over whilst the others reach the house.
Tian conducts some reconnaissance, sneaking into the house, but not before he uses Glint to scout the sewers. He re-enforces the importance by saying "That's why I dropped my own child into the sewers".
Belam sense the need for urgency and begins his walk towards the door of the house...
