And then, as the climatic event of their skullduggeryskulduggery:
The arrive at the Swirling Bathhouse the next morning and take up position, awaiting the appearance of Amoli and Etienne.
Ser Shadow hides himself in a third floor washroom after becoming a repeat customer of services brokered by the Mistress of the Red Lanterns.
Corliss begins circulating through the bathhouse chambers playing a series of 70s jams.
Rhagal, using Message, coordinates the activities of the various parties, first by notifying the party that Etienne and Amoli have arrived.
After Etienne and Amoli change in Amoli’s room and head down to the baths. Ser Shadow ransacks the room, finds the keys, and throws them out a window to Yornan waiting below.
Yornan rushes to Flint’s shop in Overtown to get the keys copied.
While Etienne and Amoli dally in their private bath chamber, Corliss keeps watch and then ultimately delays the couple to give Yornan time to return.
The couple heads upstairs before Yornan returns, so Ser Shadow listens professionally at Amoli’s door while waiting for Yornan’s return.
Yornan returns and hands the keys off to Ser Shadow, just as Etienne emerges from his room and begins yelling for Haelaeya to deal with his compliant.
Ser Shadow passes the keys to Haelaeya while explaining that he found them in the hallway before stealthing off.
Haelaeya enters Amoli’s room and satisfies Etienne’s concerns.
The party pays up and hustles out with no one the wiser.
