Characters are at Candle Lane

Kafin Lowlance, Perrín Aloro and Stockmun Cay arrive at Candle Lane. They quickly find the warehouse with the symbol of the black winged snake. Cay finds out that it is the same snake as on his dagger.

They enter the warehouse, and fight three kenku. There lie a lot of corpses along the wall. The characters kill 2 kenku, the last one becomes unconcious. While inspecting the warehouse, they find Renaer Neverember hiding. He says that the kenku were Bandits from Xanathar Guild. He tells that he and Floon went home, when they were attacked by 5 bandits."'They took us here and hold us for a very long time. Then we were interrogated by some guy, it turns out they were from the Zhentarim. The Zhentarim thinks that my father embezzled a large amount of gold, and that he hid the dragons somewhere in the city. They think they can find it by using something called the Stone of Golorr, which was in the hands of the Xanathar Guild until recently. Apparently, someone stole it. The Zhents thought I knew something about all of this, but I don't. My father and I haven't spoken in years. Then those birds and some other bandids showed up, and they attacked us! I think they are from the Xanathar Guild. In the mess that followed I was able to hide in the closet, until I heard you fighting and then you found me. They took Floon, but left the birds to keep watch.'"While Al and Kafin were talking to Renaer, Cay walked to the still living kenku. Suddenly the kenku gives a loud shriek, Cay killed it, because it tried to run.

After investigating the warehouse a bit more, Al and Cay found a paper bird.

After a while the city watch enters. They talk themselves out of this situation, partly because Renaer is famous. They go to the Yawning Portal to get some rest.
