AM after sunrise:
The pcs head to the All the World's Meats as per Cressida's directions. On the way a mentally deranged prophet of Pharasma latches onto Brunt as the "Chosen One" and Brunt converts him to the worship of Torag.

Late AM:

Cressida tells the pcs that a Korvosan Guard captain by the name of Verik Vancaskerkin has gone AWOL and taken over a butcher shop known as "All the World's Meats". Verik is treating that corner of the city as his personal fiefdom. Cressida asks the pcs to bring Vancaskerkin to her alive. The pcs are asked to wait until sunrise to set off.

New Rules for the Crimson Throne path
HARROW POINTS
Pcs can spend harrow points as follows:
1. They can be used as action points (still only 1 action point usable per encounter).
2. They can be used to modify any d20 on a 1 for 1 basis after the die is rolled. They can be used to add or subtract from a d20 roll up to +2 or -2 (does not stack with DM's friend modifier but can off set it).
3. In certain battles pcs that still have unspent harrow points have certain advantages that change from adventure to adventure and depends on the card a pc chose at the start of the adventure. In Edge of Anarchy pcs with unspent harrow points gain a +1 bonus to AC and reflex and a +2 on all rolls that use dex in a single particular encounter.
A. Andrian drew the RABBIT PRINCE card and he should remind me of this if he is involved in a dangerous game.
B. Carufinwe drew the AVALANCHE card and he should remind me of this if the crap hits the fan through no fault of the pcs.
C. Bruntalmar drew the JUGGLER card and he should remind me if he chases a criminal.
D. Riley drew the DEMON'S LANTERN and he should remind me if the pcs do something really stupid.
4. The pcs can earn 1 additional Harrow point by coming to the game early and/or staying late and having a personalized Harrow reading (pc and DM edited not necessarly random).
4708 Neth 21st Korvosa
Early AM
The pcs attempt to see Cressida Kroft but as it is a couple of hours after midnight they are turned away. The spellcaster Vreeg is summarily executed for crimes against the state (or just for being a goblin, who knows).
late AM
The exhausted pcs sleep into the late AM and then go to report their success to Field Marshal Cressida Kroft. The field marshal thanks the pcs pays them 300 gold each and introduces them to a gray-haired sword-master by the name of Vencarlo Orisini.
Cressida tells the pcs that Vencarlo has learned of a plot by a half-blood Scarni thug by the name of Devargo Barvasi to blackmail Chelax's ambassador to Korvosa, one Darvayne Gios Amprei. Ambassador Amprei has been stirring up trouble for Korvosa by advocating ruinous trade sanctions. Cressida would like to obtain whatever is being used to blackmail him in order to leverage more favorable recommendations to Chelax. Cressida is especially concerned about rumors that Amprei is recommending an embargo. Cressisa said that she would prefer that there be no deaths on this mission, if possible, but that Devargo is a thug and no one would mourn his passing. However he also pays his vice tax promptly and to the copper and, as such, is not a wanted criminal.
Early PM
Vencarlo walks the pcs to Eel's End where the pcs should be able to find Devargo Barvasi the self-styled "King of Spiders". The pcs decide to purchase Carufinwe a magic bow from a contact of Riley's in the Elven enclave before attempting a contact with Devargo. Then the pcs take care of banking errands and make sure that everyone has access to the group's account.
later PM
A couple of hours before nightfall the pcs return to Eel's End. Riley passes himself off as a "John" and gathers information from a prostitute on the moored ship the House of Clouds. This brothel is run by Devargo's lover, a half elf woman by the name of Halvara. Andrian passes himself off as drug user but his daggers are discovered and he is told to disarm or leave. Andrian tricks the guards by passing two non-magical daggers to Brunt. The guards are not able to find the (better hidden) magical daggers. Andrian briefly enters the drug den ship known as the Dragon's Breath. Then he exits and finds Riley. The two heroes walk over to Eel's End and convince a guard to send a message to Devargo. Devargo agrees to hear the two out and they enter the captain's cabin. By appealing to Devaro's megalomania and by expending a significant amount of treasure, Andrian convinces Devargo to sell the blackmail letter for 1,000gp.
Devargo declares his friendship allowing the Andrian and Riley to return without cover charge and offers Andrian a position in his organization.
late PM
As night falls the pcs head back to give Cressida the blackmail letter on Ambassador Amprei. On the way they hear a town crier declare that the King is dead. When they find Cressida she is fighting off tears and verifies that the King is dead.
