Swipe, the crippled “Papa” has spent years watching over his children and training them to be good beggars, thieves, and rogues. He had been encouraging them to take on trades and follow their dreams. Each of his wards has expressed an interest in adventuring classes. Meanwhile an assassin has been running around at night and crushing the heads of “Emperor’s Children” Swipe asked his youths to take on the responsibility of defending themselves. He performed some reconnaissance on the killer and came up with some valuable Intel. Swipe has always been good at gathering information, and after he lost the use of his legs, he brought home a super smart raven named Heckle. Heckle functions as his eyes and ears, and brings in messages. [D.M. note;  for the last 20 or so years, the Londres empire has switched from using owls to carry messages and now uses almost exclusively ravens.] After a long series of skirmishes, the Emperor’s Children managed to defeat Esterhaus and confiscate his stash of magic items. The group decided to move into Ester’s Haus. It has all the doors nailed shut and the only way in is through a tunnel that leads into the sewer. To enter and leave you must go underwater, the entrance is concealed by sewer water. Shortly after moving in, Swipe managed to rig up a small entryway for Heckle, it has a swinging door on the outside, and a lockable door on the inside, it is mounted near the ceiling.
