Day 3 

Duffbeard:
"Maybe we can, I dunno, not kill him? 
I know its crazy talk, but I think he could be useful"

Day 3
Vikkyyy is the first to rise this morning.  With little memory of the night before; checks her hamster and creeps out of the cave.   beyond some dense foliage is a road with several dozen carts queued waiting for something.   After a failed attempt to woo a farmer and his son she makes her way back into the cave and wakes her compatriots. 

There are 2 things on everyone's minds, 1: Rocco, and 2:the letter.  After much discussion and examination of the seal on the letter, Lance unceremoniously opens it releasing a stored fireball spell and scorching everyone in the cave (Vikkyyy happened to be outside debating on whether or not to take another swing at the farmer and as a result escaped immolation).   Once everyone recovers from their brush with death Lance gets a look at the envelopes contents to discover the letter is written in invisible ink.

Injured and with no leads the party leaves the cave and learns they are outside High Rocks walls, they have discovered a secret entrance into the city.  They head to The Last Knight Inn hoping to find Rocco or information leading to his whereabouts.  

Inside the inn the find one of the bandits from the cave and Azazel sets about interrogating him.  He learns the "bandits" are actually thieves guild employees and that they only know Rocco went back into the city via some other means.  Duffbeard persuades the low level guild member (Timmy) to cover for the party and blame the death of his leader of some passing bandits he and Azazel set him up as an informant.  

The Gates to the City open and some conveniently expositional guards announce that the thief of the Egg was a Goblin and that he was captured immediately after the incident.  The party having directly involved in the heist know this to be a cover up and decide to visit the Goblin family of Haggle and Swindle, owners of the "Kings Pawn"

Haggle confirms that the "Goblin" that was paraded through the streets was a wooden puppet, but has no information about he whereabouts of Rocco.  MacCrinkgle asks the Haggle to take a look at the letter from the thieves guild and he provides a paste that can make the page readable.  the party buys the paste and is able to read the letter

"Padre Don,

Rocco has betrayed us and stolen the egg.  I trust these 6 to help us bring him to justice... Unless of course they break the seal to the letter.

Oink,

Padre Perchbourne"

With noted objections from Kasaga, the party decides honesty is the best policy and heads to see Padre Don at the Church of Bon Sw and explain what happened, nominating Lance to do the talking.  Padre Don is delighted to see young Lance Hammerbush and excuses the recklessness of opening the letter as actions expected of an entitled Hammerbush.  Lance explains they are looking for Rocco and Padre Don tells him to talk to Garnet at "Aren's Rest".  Lance thanks him and promises to send a cask of their finest Amontillado, he also clues the Padre into the new fashion trend that he is starting: Singed-Popped Collars!

The stop at Aren's Rest is brief but yields important information.  Vikkyyy was able to get Garnet to disclose that Rocco was recently there asking how to destroy a dragon's egg, and he while he was there he stunk like the sewer.  Azazel independently confirmed Rocco was recently in Aren's  Rest by talking to the waitress. 

The party realizes there are nearby sewers that run under the arena and dive under the bridge to find an entrance.  Along a service walkway Azazel finds a used spell scroll and MacCrinkgle determines it was the "light" spell and that it was used recently.  The Party attempts to track Rocco through the sewers and stumbles upon 5 ghouls.  Azazel and Vikkyyy take on 2 down a side tunnel, while the rest of the Party deal with the 3 at the main line.  The party sustains some minor injuries and prepares to continue their search for Rocco.  

New Person/Item/Pet:
Timmy: Your inside man!  Both because he will let you into the city through the "Foundation" tunnels and because he is now an underpaid mole in the thieves guild.
