The district is in a near constant state of agitation, as the
people, especially the goblinoids, are used as practically
indentured slaves in the factories, and they aren’t fond of it,
creating much unrest in the district with talks of unionizing
being met with beat downs from enforcers. Walking down the
wrong street could get you beat up for just looking like you

rough, especially the city dump, and so vermin and pest run
rampant, including Worgs, which are usually owned, but
some have broken free and gone wild.

and/or private investigators who have been hired by the
family to see if anything new can be discovered, he’ll huff a bit
before agreeing to give them a copy of the report, if they help
him out with his current investigation.
Fardal has an activist in one of the cells that was stirring up
trouble in a nearby park he’s been trying to get information
out of, especially if he knows anything about the activist
Relentless Nethyola, who is currently wanted for attempted
murder. The activist has only talked about the protests in the
Factory District and refuses to change the subject with him,
so Fardal wants the player to pretend to be arrested, put into
an adjacent cell and talk to him so they get his name, why he
is resisting questioning, details on any of his associates,
particularly the woman who ran away when he was arrested,
and if he knows anything about Relentless Nethyola’s (see the
Bounty Board) current location, all while Fardal listens in
from the Interview Room thanks to a set or Transmitting
Stones (ITT 52). If any of the players agree, he’ll take those
players to the holding cells, acting like they’ve just been
arrested, and leave them there for a few hours, regardless of
how soon they get Zinran to answer the questions, since it
would look suspicious to bring them out immediately after he
told them some important information. If any of the players
are not in the cells at this time, they can listen in on the
conversation with Fardal, and after he gets his information
he’ll go to the Records Room and get a copy of the Hnmng
Report for them to look over while they wait. Otherwise, he’ll
have the copy ready for when he releases the party, which
he’ll give them after they get out of the cells and are escorted
out of the station, and wish them luck finding anything new.
If any of the players try to look at what some of the other
officers are working on, you can use one of the reports from
the list in the Records Room section.

clothing designs, which were very good, and even got Odabi’s
help when she was making her first outfit. Her parents fully
encouraged her passion, and Odabi had expected Pixane to
be able to do a debut show here not long after and become a
break out sensation.
Odabi was quite taken aback at the Hnmng murders,
finding them brazen and shocking. She was disappointed
with the guild’s response, revealing that Toecap was “brushed
off” by the guild, since those in charge didn’t want to get
involved with someone related to murder, considering it
“unfashionable”, which proceeded to anger Toecap in her
grief, and then bizarrely turn her house into a Puzzle House.
While those in charge at the time have had their
comeuppance, one even ending up in Salt Spike Prison for
unrelated theft, Odabi regrets not doing more at the time, like
speaking out against those in charge, and wishes she could
do something to make things better now, especially if the

out what happened to Toecap’s family and have gotten on her
good side, she’ll give them her hand-knit light purple shawl
cloak, which is a Cloak of Protection (DMG 159), hoping that
it can help them bring Toecap to peace, and see if she can’t
dig up any information that would be useful to them.

139 Purple Reef Road is an old, run down brick house that
was probably quite nice when it was originally built, but lack of
care has left it seeing better days, and it looks much worse for
wear than the rest of the run down houses on the street. All
the windows have been boarded up, the roof shingles have
peeled quite a bit, and vines have covered a significant area of
the walls. The outside of the house has a 20 foot wide front
“lawn”, two 10 foot paths down the sides between the house
and the ones beside it, and a 20 foot wide back “lawn” that
opens onto a back road, all of which have old and cracked
brick paving, with small plants growing here and there in the
cracks. If the house didn’t have brick paving, it would no
doubt be over grown and even more dilapidated.

send a message without somebody noticing. Since the doll is
magical and thus indestructible under normal circumstances,
he encourages them to try a variety of things to try and
trigger the phrases, and maybe they’ll be able to figure what
the message is when they have all the phrases.
Wellington will also tell the players that Odabi thinks she
found out something, so they should all go talk to her, and
show her the doll as well since she might know something.
He will then accompany the players to the Clothes Makers’
Guild Hall.
Talking to Odabi
If the players take the doll to Odabi, she’ll immediately
recognize it as Pixane’s, as Pixane used it as a model for her
early physical creations and showed it to Odabi. If the nature
of the doll with the phrases is explained to her, she’ll suggest
giving the doll tea, since the two would have tea together,
which will splash some liquid on the dolls face for one of the
lines. With that one and the sneezing line explained to her,
Odabi will suggest that it’s pointing to Resil Tsen, since he
live on the sea and would sneeze heavily around Pixane and
Toecap thanks to her father’s flowers, which also ties in with
what she was able to dig up.
Odabi was able to find out that Resil Tsen was asking
around about Toecap and Pixane in the weeks before the
murder. It seems he asked a few people, specifically trying to
get their address and schedule so he could “setup a meeting
about some possibilities in the future.” Given how little Resil
has ever cared for others and how unlikely he would be to go
out of his way to help someone, Odabi thinks Resil has
something to do with the murders, and if this doll is evidence
that Pixane is alive and being held captive, Odabi thinks that
that was what Resil was up to. Wellington, if there, will
suggest that Resil is the one holding Pixane. Odabi will say
that either way, they’re going to have to pay Resil a visit at his
home, 3131 Sandcastle Towers.
The players will have to decide how to approach Resil Tsen
in his home, with Odabi proposing Deception, with her and
the players just showing up to “pay him a visit” pretending to
be fashion designers, while Wellington suggests infiltrating
the tower stealthily at night. Whichever one they decide on,
they should probably pay a visit to Water Wings to figure out
how they want to travel to the tower.

Rowed Vessels (PHB 155) like Keelboats and rowboats are used on lakes and rivers. If going downstream, add the speed of the
current (typically 3 miles per hour) to the speed of the vehicle. These vehicles can’t be rowed against any significant current, but
they can be pulled upstream by draft animals on the shores. A rowboat weighs 100 pounds, in case adventurers carry it over land.
The water in the Clear Coast Underwater Residential area is calm and clear, with no natural turbulence unless there’s a storm.

Epilogue - The Aftermath
The Trial
After being questioned by the guards about the events at
3131 Sandcastle Tower, and then later testifying at their trial,
Resil, Shezta, Linefin, Emnil and Gargrim are all convicted
and sent to Salt Spike Prison. The Guards thank the players
for their service to city and hope that they'll be willing to help
the Guards in the future if they ask.
Pixane
A few weeks after this, Pixane will approach the players to
give then a reward of 1000 gp each. She will reveal that
thanks to the players, the majority of Resil's assets were given
to Pixane as compensation and because the majority of his
work the past few years was actually her's. She also now
owns 3131 Sandcastle Tower.
What happened to her is now public knowledge and she's
become a bit of a celebrity, so her designs are now in high
demand, so she's been selling off the outfits of hers that Resil
held on to in the attic. She will also say that she's much
happier now that she can design what she wants on her own
schedule, which she wants to get back into after taking a
break since being rescued.
Odabi has been helping Pixane manage all this, and Pixane
doesn't know how she could do this without her. Odabi is
quite happy to help, wanting to make up for lost time.
If the Sahuagin weren't arrested or killed, Pixane has hired
them to keep making her designs, since they need work and
they know her designs. They've been very happy with the
arrangement, since Pixane treats them much better than
Resil did, and that all of them are looking forward to moving
into the new headquarters that Pixane purchased the other
day.
But Pixane has come to the players with a request. She's
learned about what happened to her mother from Wellington,
and believes his theory that her soul is powering the puzzle
house. She hasn't gone into the house herself yet, and wants
to make sure that when she does, she'll be able to free her
mother's soul. That's why she wants to hire the players to
help her. If the Players accept, you can use the next adventure
in this series, The Toecap Trilogy Part 3 - Return to the
Puzzle House.

2 - Final Report on the Hnmng
Murders, from the desk of
Detective Fardal
On the 13th day of the 6th month, 1606, The Hnmng
residence at 31 Anchor St was forcibly entered through the
back door, when one or more assailants broke the window in
the door to unlock it. There were signs of a struggle in the
kitchen, where it is believed the father, Stralk, tried to fight
off the assailants. His body was found with severe damage
from claw and bite marks, particularly to his torso, which
looked like it had been ripped apart and partially eaten by a
wild animal. The son, Cantle, was found in his room on the
floor, having been bludgeoned to death and his heart
removed. The daughter, Pixane, was never found, although a
significant amount of blood was found in the bathroom, and
is believed to have been hers. A later attempt to bring the
father and son back to life revealed that enough of their
organs had been lost that even a Raise Dead spell was
ineffective.
The house had been turned over, with drawers violently
pulled out to spill the contents, beds slashed open and tossed
aside, and holes punched in walls. It is believed the murders
were looking for valuables, and the mother, Toecap, was able
to confirm that what little jewelry she kept appears to have
been taken. It is believed that the assailants were after the
family’s valuables, as Toecap is a successful high-end
leatherworker and there is public perception that she has
amassed a small fortune.
The culprits, as it is believed there was more than one,
appear to have exited out the back, and our tracker followed a
trail back to an abandoned warehouse at 143 Shark St.
investigating inside found nothing of interest and we were
unable to pick up a trail after that.
