• The Green Gems jumped them, but they were very competent, and suddenly the heroes found themselves in a fight for their lives. In the end, only the new guy Kelal was standing, and luckily, the two remaining thugs were wounded and no intention of dying for a Baraxi, so they took off. 
• They were members of the Hoods
• After getting some more sleep, the Green Gems went to Madam Frida's Tea Parlor to talk to Lazy of the Short Brothers, thinking maybe he could help them with locating the spear.

• A merchant the Short Brothers had "come in contact with" was due to buy a dragon egg from an elf later this night.
