The Harpers are now playing their harps in heaven

FredN

.....Well, actually, considering what scumbags they were, it's more likely they are playing in some circle of Hell. With harps that are out of tune for all eternity. I won't go into full details for fear of posting spoilers, but the final confrontation between us and them was a laughable anticlimax. They didn't put up the merest semblance of opposition. I didn't even have to do any research; they totally telegraphed their moves well ahead of time.
.....After the first pathetic group of mooks on the first floor was wiped out, it was instantly obvious to me how this was going to play out. So, before heading up to the scond floor, I took the appropriate precautions. Let's just say that when we came back down the stairs, the enitre second group of mercenary bozos died instantly as soon as we appeared. I LoL'd!

Hmm. OK, maybe it's not over yet. Jeheira said she would talk to me later, but she hasn't done this so far. Nor has she said anything to indicate she considers the matter finished. Maybe some of the senior Harpers avoided the fiasco and are still lurking out there. What a bother!

Athkatla is just one branch, and its not even an official or sanctioned branch. The guy Jaheira loathes, who first called you in for questioning, was apparently *trying* to get noticed to make Athkatla some sort of official position.

The problem as it stands now, is that you've wiped out a sort of quasi-office, or minor office of Harpers. This looks very bad to the greater Harper organization, who have only heard one side of the story.

You will have a few more installments to the story. Jaheira will still want for the real story to be known. But this will not be a huge thing on *your* journey.

FredN

Yeah, since she has said nothing to me so far (despite saying she would), I sort of assumed we weren't finished with those losers. Fine with me; I get to loot their dead bodies and sell all their stuff.

atcDave

Yeah there's a good amount of loot in this! Probably not much you'll want to keep. But a lot of second tier stuff to sell.

Ok, NOW the beggars are all pushing up daisies, and we can go on to Spellhold.
