Vodni Brana, mid morning...
Albrecht and Diezalau are apprentices to Zbysek The Resplendent, the most well-known wizard in Vodni Brana. A letter arrives, informing Zbysek that a brewery he owns, Wizard's Tower Brewery, has been overrun with giant rats. Zbysek gives Albrecht and Diezalau a bag of 175 silver and tells them to go deal with it.
Albrecht and Diezalau gather up a group of acquaintances and sell-swords, and head west to the brewery. They are greeted at the brewery by Glowkindle, the gnome brewmaster. Glowkindle explains that they had been digging in the cellar to expand the storage area, when they broke through to an old section of the wizard tower. Giant rats swarmed out, attacking the gnomes and killing Glowkindle's nephew.
The gang heads down into the cellar and manages to kill all of the giant rats. They proceed into the old section of the wizard tower...

The gang explores the rest of the old wizard tower, killing a few giant centipedes and a giant spider that spins flaming webs. They spend the night at a pub in the nearby village of Tashalar, happy to have accomplished their mission.
In the morning, they discover that their valuables have been stolen (other than a healing potion). They find a calling card with a note on the back:
Wisp Shadowfoot, Gentleman Thief
(back) Johan's warehouse, midnight
With a mixture of anger and curiosity, the gang heads to Vodni Brana. They find Johan's warehouse, which is an abandoned waterfront warehouse. They look around, but do not find anything interesting or threatening. Albrecht and Diezalau check in with Zbysek, letting him know that they accomplished the task he set them. He grudgingly acknowledges their success, and get back to working on his memoirs.
The gang waits for midnight...

Midnight arrives, and the gang waits in the empty warehouse for Wisp Shadowfoot to arrive.
And he does, although no one sees him. A voice in the darkness tells them that he will return their belongings and owe them a favour,
