The Night Shift

The Stakeout

• At the Red Hammer Inn, Cinder approaches Scythe for information about Hazal Smelting. He learns about employee movement and a shift change to a "skeleton crew" that occurs at 8pm. Scythe also blames the party for Pyramus's predicament and demands "blood money" for Cinder keeping company with "slavers".
• Jacopo approaches Boreal and tries to reassure him that Cinder's secret about their kinetic powers is safe with him.
• The Party stakes out Hazal Smelting and discuss strategy. Lark reveals that she is a changeling, and transforms into a Karrnathi worker. The foreman (later known to be Bargast) lets her into the facility, but waits at the door for her return. She quickly heads upstairs and grabs a key and some documents from an office. Bargast goes in after her and she changes into him in an attempt to leave. She creates confusion amongst the workers before morphing into Gristle and scampering off.

Whoever Smelt It

• Gristle returns to the Party with the key and documents from Hazal Smelting. The documents include correspondence with Kelthor d'Tharashk negotiating the purchase of Dragonshards.
• The Party infiltrates Hazal Smelting. They discover the "skeleton crew" are actual skeletons. The crew is run by an undead minion called The Night Shift and his fiery gremlin Flicker. Using misdirection, the party successfully sneak past the undead and head to Lan Hazal's office.
• The Party turns over Lan Hazal's office. They find a safe (which they take after failing to open it), a set of black robes and obsidian mask, and a letter to the foreman Bargast discussing a midnight meeting at the Bloody Blade Shrine. The Party finds more masks and robes and create a few distractions to escape Hazal Smelting largely unnoticed.
