Hunting Men and Ghosts

Mistle went down the corridor but the man had disappeared. She listened at all the doors and at the end door, room 69, she heard male voices. She called the others, then knocked at the door. The bearded man opened it a little and asked what she wanted. "I'm looking for Julie ..." Mistle replied, feigning drunkeness. "Noone here of that name" he retorted and slammed the door.
They then approached a serving wench and after much to-ing and fro-ing convinced her to open room 69. They fired sleep spells into - an empty room. The bedroom was also 'slept', it too was empty. Garacaius discovered a secret passage at the back of the bedroom. They followed it to where it ended, at the rivers edge under the bridge. As they debated a large boat moved past in the dark, Milla made out the name - The Black Pig. Unknown to the rest of the party Jakob and Ilmenost were tied up on board, heading for a life of slavery in Skullport.

A little earlier Gwenevere the owl saw some men leaving the warehouse carrying what looked like a body. She winged her way back to Ashe.
They returned to the Griffon and Garacaius contacted the Ghost of Willy. He learned that it needed his cloak, taken by the bartender. Questioning the bartender they found that the cloak had been given to the widow Hekal who lived next door. As the hour was late they decided to retire.

100 xps to Garacaius, Mistle, Milla and Majikous for discovering the bolt hole, alas too late.
