Dragon’s Den Candles: Thieves’ Guild

The scent of bootleg whiskey and stolen cigars fills the room. Dark characters skulk in shady corners, while others play in high stakes card games. You came to this thieves’ guild to meet with someone about acquiring an item and you find yourself ushered behind a curtain into a room filled with brigands and ruffians. What do you do?

You are lead through a hidden door in the back alley of the warehouse district. Once through you descend down a narrow staircase before entering into a large tavern and lounge area. The scene is lively with all manner of rogues drinking and playing games. A roaring fireplace is in corner where a few older individuals share drinks and swap tales. The air is thick with cigar smoke and the scent of whiskey. The din of conversation lowers as you enter the room and all eyes turn towards you. You notice a few hand slip out of view, undoubtedly reaching for hidden daggers.

You are lead across the room and into a side chamber. As you enter the second room, the sound of conversation and music picks back up in the main tavern behind you. You are told to wait and the guild master will meet you shortly and your escort leaves the room. You are left alone to sit quietly. Suddenly, a bookcase in the room shifts aside revealing a doorway! Two rogues stumble into the room, one limping and being held up by the other, both are bloodied and injured. They scream for help and yell that they have been followed. What do you do?
