"Goblin who goes by Fibber Jones.  Negotiator for the Evil Minions Guild.  Found a shit ton of dead guys at his office and no sign of him.  Rumor has it he fled downstairs."

"We're more interested in what's going on.  The Guild is having a union election, and lots of weirdness is going down tied in with the Undead civil rights movement that seems to be tied to your Guild.  Also the likely winner of the Union presidency is a certain zombie well known to you..."

"Rumors of backstabbing, actual backstabbing, political machinations, ghosts marching through the streets in protest.  You know.  Tuesday."

the nice beholder lady returns

"Holy fuck you're the ghost people!  Get inside before you're seen!"

"I'm hoping not.

We entered under the guise of selling gnomish security, which was enough to get them to look past a rag tag band of armed hooligans lead by a jester. They let us into the prison, and a riot broke out on its own. So, we spent some time defending ourselves, and we grabbed Bob and teleported out. So, the question is if they saw us grab Bob or not, or if they even notice him missing. They know the riot wasn't caused by us, so we've got that on our side.

My hope is that their interpretation of events is 'Crazy guys with bad timing came to sell gnomish security, then after fighting for their lives for a minute or so, they said 'fuck this' and left'."

"Riot?  Do you know the cause?  Did you leave by unconventional means?"

Something about Geegaw the world devourer escaping. Seems like it was a big nasty Pit Fiend that went around tearing stuff up and that'll allowed other prisioners to break out from their cells. Pretty nice fellow, shrugged off pretty much everything thrown at it. Maybe I could've managed to cut his life down in half  but that would imply getting close enough and getting my life cut in full. Not being paid enough to get in the melee range of a Pit Fiend, let alone a named one. Luckily Geesaw still had some kind of warded bands preventing it from using magic so the mind flayers golem could slow him down enough time for me to teleport us all out. I guess that counts as an uncoventional mean for you, hahaha? Well the exit was blocked by super poison gas so like we didn't have much of a choice.

"Geegaw isn't a Pit Fiend, he just takes that form to lull people into a false sense of security.  I hope they have enough Mindflayers down there, it'll be bad if he gets out."

The Sheriff is barking orders about sending reinforcements down.  He seems to have temporarily forgotten you, but the nice young beholder lady chimes in.

"Shall we send payment to the usual address?"

"Oh, sure. Thanks!"

Assuming no one else has business here, Mustave leads the troop back to the base.

OOC: How much longer until the guns are done in Florida. I know we just got back from there, but still...

"How fat is too fat?"

"It really depends you see on a beings height, species and sex. But the optimal ratio often involves...."
Pat rambles on about math involving the humanoid body for as long as the person who asked the question is stupid enough to not leave us alone.
The following explanation has been removed due to time constraints, character limits on posts, and the DC 30 Spellcraft checks to understand large portions of it.
