Thin Black Ledger found at the Foxglove Townhouse

Thin Black Ledger-

The deed indicates that only 2/3 of Foxglove Manor was financed by Vorel Foxglove. The remaining 1/3 was paid for by an organization known as the "Brothers of the Seven". There are also about a dozen entries labeled as "Iesha's trip to Absalom". Each entry indicates that Aldern delivered 200gp every Oathday at midnight to a place referred to as "The Seven's Sawmill".

Early AM:
Pcs return earlier than expected to the Foxglove townhouse. As the pcs wait for Aldern and Iesha to come down, Andrian searches the house for clues. Andrian and Carufinwe find a key hole in a decorative lion that fits the key they obtained at the Misgivings. Inside they find 200pp and a ledger with the above information. During dinner Andrian confronts "Aldern" with the fact that he claimed poverty but had a fortune hidden away. A furious battle erupts in the close quarters of the dining room. A deadly salvo of arrows by Carufinwe tips the scales of the battle. Andrian falls but is saved from a coup de gras by a timely arrow fired by Carufinwe. The false Andrian, Iesha, and the cook are revealed to be some sort of grey skinned shape-shifting humanoids. While searching the house the pcs find two humans bound and gagged in a closet. After removing the sacks from their heads the humans are revealed to be Orik Vancaskerkin and Lyrie Akenja. Orik reveals to the pcs that he was hired by Aldern Foxglove to bring a box to Aldern's townhouse in Magnimar but when he arrived Aldern was already there. They were invited to dinner and that is the last thing he remembers.
