Facing down the stitched together man, Chromwyn Rageborn, (Dragonborn Fighter), uses a series of blows to allow Rayne the Ranger to fall back and get a couple of shots off from his arrows. The stitched together man continued to chase after Rayne, who nimbly dodged out of the way, and let loose two powerful arrows, whose impact sent the large creature up against the wall. Theiladel (Eladrin Cleric), marked the creature in radiant light, allowing Chromwyn to finish it off.
They take the body of Lord Mourgon back to Mourgon's Manor. As they head down the main grand stairs to the entrance they are stopped by two stone-like monkeys with wings, and the insidious Butler. Rayne takes a step back and fires two arrows at the same time at the stoned monkeys, hitting both solidly. Chromwyn jumps down and smashes one to dust, while Theiladel handles the other.
Finally with two shots, Rayne finishes the Butlers life. In the jacket pocket they find a note from Lord Mourgon to keep them busy while he escapes. After taking the body to local authorities they find out that Mourgon and Malvein were twins, and the body the found was Malvein's.
With the mystery solved, and Mourgon having escaped, they go back to their capitol city to report.

Masquerading Life
After Thei'lad'el (level 3 Eladrin Cleric), finished investigating the body of Lord Mathicus, using some tools given by the court alchemists, he was able to determine that Mathicus had been dead for longer than the two weeks it took them to reach Storm Garden.
Reuniting with Rayne (level 4 Elven Ranger), and Chromwyn (level 5 Dragonborn Fighter), they dress up for the Storm Garden Masquerade (except for Chromwyn who keeps their gear and waits nearby). Using the masks and their cleverness they overhear a few conversations in the somber, erotic, and intoxicating Masquerade. Between elven women and debauchery Rayne discovers that Lord Malvein, brother to their host Lord Mourgon, disappeared 4 weeks prior to the murder, and was only recently and scarcely seen.
Thei'lad'el, taking a more shadowed approach, discovered that Malvein and Mathicus have been seen having several arguments recently, and that Mathicus had actually disappeared 4 weeks ago.
Leaving the party, and changing in an alley, the three team mates share their knowledge and come to a decision, they must find out where Malvein is, and confront him about Mathicus's murder. They had back alone to Mourgon's Manor, and head over to the East Wing, on the 2nd floor, where Lord Malvein, is supposedly grieving for his lost friend.
After trying some doors, Rayne spots a secret passage which leads to a set of iron-wrought wall-mounted ladder leading down, into the bowels of the city. Following the tunnel they come upon, they soon find themselves in waist deep sewers, with a light at the end of the tunnel.
The three approach the light source, which is a set of open double doors that leads to a sort of alchemical laboratory. Spotting preserved body parts, including brains, eyes, hands and feet, they also see the dead body of Lord Mourgon laying on a metal slab.
Distracted by the atrocoties of the room, they almost aren't ready when a fifteen foot tall stictched together "man" starts attacking them.
