Dogs in the Boneyard
A visit to the Slave Masters in the Market Square of Tradetown. No, they haven't seen Jasper. Their stock is running low due to the approaching First Night Celebration. Some intimations of young male and female slaves taken to the Fortress of the Hand and probably not ever being seen again.
The slave seller, Turok, agrees to take the party into the Boneyard in search of young boys. He has a contact in the Flesh Pits.
The leader of the the Flesh Pits is none other than the Grey Man!! He refuses to help, but Telecus casts "Blurt" and he spills some cryptic info anout Jasper and the Silk Lady. He then has them forcefully expelled from his demesnes.
Ali meets with the gate guard, mentions possibility that her "nephew" has been taken by slavers in the Boneyard. He suggests hiring mercenaries or addressing the Captain of the Kardian troops in the city. They have headquarters down by the docks.
Everybody returns to the inn to think and have dinner.
