The chase, continued in haste

My investigations into the vile kidnap have not halted; I have been assaulted by thugs and even harassed by a harlot at the Grand Fountain. Throughout, my silk bat has aided me and the scribing vouge has been kept sharp.....leaving a note of my findings annotated upon the fly leaf of a rebound copy of “Upon Griffons” in the keeping of the Scribe to The Under Court of Ribbons, I hied to the Brass Temple to face the villain. Alarmingly he was no mere bravo but one of the temple guards and had a brace of thugs as accomplices. My silk bat tore one ear from ear and I unleashed the Storm and Calm upon the villain; a tussle ensued but my bat, my scribing knife and the biting curse prevailed. I have since arranged the release of the poor victim to her family and earned a modest retainer for my efforts; the Scriveners Guild are not pleased at my use of arcanism and I am arraigned - but hist! Is this a footfall upon my balcony? The swift exit calls for me and I must flee in haste!
