if they should show them to her. Andura tells the PCs that Argent has played them for dupes and asks them if they want a chance to even the score. If the PCs agree, she recommends they track down Argent and “do something permanent about him." If the adventurers decline, she confiscates all their possessions "as payment for my inconvenience" and ejects them from the tavern, telling them never to return on pain of death. Ifthe PCs don't tell Andura the truth— no matter how hard they try to convince her—Andura holds them until the City Watch can be summoned to take them into custody. Their ultimate fate is then inthe hands of the city's judicial system. Thesame fate awaits them if they tell the truth but Andura doesn't believe them. As to Argent, he doesn't care what happens to the PCs; he only wants his information. It's up to the DM to decide when he has enough data to make his hit. Remember that he needs, at the very least, a rough floor plan of the tavern building and an approximation of Andura's daily movements. Once he has enough information, he pays off the PCs and drops out of sight. Three days later, the PCs hear through the grapevine that Andura has been killed by a free-lance assassin, and they recognize the assailant's description as that of the man they knew as “Argent.” Rumor also tells them that the assassin is returning by ship to his home in Waterdeep. The PCs may or may not decide to follow him and extract vengeance (or expiate their guilt in the death of a relatively innocent victim). Gralnakh Longtooth and Renaldo react to Andura’s death as might be expected. After a rampaging drunk, they sober up and join forces in tracking down and eliminating her killer. This hunt is THE SERPENT'S TOOTH the highest priority for both of them, and they will spare no expense or effort to succeed. It might come to their attention that the PCs were somehow involved in Andura's death. If so, the DM must decide how their involvement might. appear to Andura's friends. Should Renaldo and Gralnakh decide that the PCs were unwitting dupes, they might try to enlist the adventurers to their cause. Should they decide that the PCs knew what they were doing, however, Renaldo and Gralnakh will most certainly include the PCs in their vendetta. After the vendetta has been settled, Gralnakh Longtooth takes over the running of The Serpent's Tooth, keeping the tavern open as a monument to Andura's memory. Renaldo leaves town to join Andura's old band in the Sunrise Mountains and never returns to Scornubel again. o aoe (continued from page 16) If the adventurers take the time to visit the “inn” or the “church,” the adult house hunters nearby will close in.
