tsr09497 - AD&D - Ra.. - Property Is Theft!

Otherwise, the exit will be barred, Matton will be torn to pieces on the spot, and the heroes will be captured.
If the heroes leave the Dog Fights with Matton, they escort him back to the Laughing Maiden at the Wine Garden without
incident (unless the DM wishes to challenge them further with encounters of his own devising). Matton rewards each of the
party members with a pouch of 100 gp and attempts to hire them for his investigation of Cliff House tomorrow (he promises
a similar reward). As a bonus, he pays for their lodgings at one of the inns at the Wine Garden so the heroes can rest for the
remainder of the night.
Reporting to the Zarovan
Regardless of how they learn the crucial information, the heroes must wait until after moonset (just before dawn) before
attempting to reach the Vistani encampment. If the heroes foolishly try to contact the Zarovan during the full moon, the DM
should device a few vicious encounters with night creatures or even the vengeful Leyla to dissuade them. Exhausted after
their own nocturnal activities, the Zarovan sleep until noon. When they wake, the heroes can relate their news of from the
Dog Fights.
The Vistani prepare a lavish noonday meal, during which Marcella narrates a story from Van Richten's Guide to the Vistani
and heals their wounds with more of her bitter potions. At the end of the meal, she presents them with a fist-sized black iron
ball, a sphere of binding, to use against the Dukkar at Cliff House. The sphere binds the Dukkar to Invidia, neutralizing his
ability to teleport beyond the Mists and hence eliminating him as a threat to the Demiplane. When they encounter Malocchio
at Cliff House, Marcella advises them to hurl the sphere at his feet. She tells the heroes nothing of its powers; divinations
cast by the player characters reveal nothing.
Raul apologizes for not accompanying them to the Dog Fights; he was busy all night forging the sphere of binding before its
enchantment by the Zarovan. Raul will join the party for the adventure in Cliff House. Before the party leaves with Raul,
Marcella calls after them: "Return to our camp before midnight; tonight all curses shall be broken."
