"Not usually," Isabella answers. "Actually, that sounds more like an, ugh, Erinyes," she says with a bit of distaste.

"A kind of demons, I suppose?"

"No, a Erinyes is a type of Baatezu," Isabella answers. "That is, a 'devil' in layman's terms. Which I suppose makes sense. These are lawyers, we are talking about. Baatezu are obsessed with laws."

"Then I got confused between all the demons ah guess." Tukgruff sigh. "So no, I just wandered off for no reason apparently."

"I've heard stories of what goes on in Kulak's," Mal states. "Honestly, you're lucky you were able to walk away alive. That place may as well be in Baator itself." He shakes his head. "Well, all's well that ends well, I suppose. In the morning, we'll report what we've learned to Camille and that will be that."

It's quite late by this point, so the party retires, heading up to their individual rooms for the night.
The following morning, Camille is summoned and told everything the party has learned. Although there does not seem to be anything that she can do about it, the signs do seem to point to Trever being guilty, likely hiring a succubus assassin from Kulak to do the dirty deed for him. Although a little disturbed to learn her husband had been tempted by the succubus, she holds true to her word and pays the party five hundred gold pieces. Mal claims half of that for upkeep of the hotel and making sure it stays in business. The other half is divided among the party--fifty gold each. Not a bad take for a single day's work.
The question remains, however, will Trever ever face justice? Is such a thing even possible in such a corrupt city? Perhaps, one day. But as it stands now, it's beyond the party's grasp. But as Mal reminds them, there are other, smaller dangers out there that the party can help with. And there are powers that be that might even be on their side, if they can be found and tapped. But for now, there are other jobs to be found, people to help, and and mysteries to unravel.

End Chapter One.
