The group, with Jihyo Chiss in tow, made their way to Yovin's Glamour and Glitz for Gentlefolk to find some attire fit for attending the ball that evening
Sir William, overhearing the crass lambasting of Jihyo from the mouth of one Archibald Guthry, aimed to set the man's hat on fire, but accidentally set both him, his palanquin, and nearby guests ablaze, causing a panic before the group even entered the door.
Diamond Jim used the ensuing chaos and panic to lift a few articles of clothing free of charge from the establishment, but lost Jihyo in the confusion
Meanwhile, Dennora helped identify Sir William as he fled the scene, and he was apprehended by the Tidal Guard astride large winged creatures able to perch atop the water
The rest of the group made their way back to the Jagged Dagger in an effort to keep their heads down, but were set upon by a group of ruffians looking for a quick cash grab, though they were dispatched quickly.
Sir William was taken in for questioning, but due to partying with the clerk, Joakim Terrace, the night before, was able to strike a bargain where William would perform with the young man that evening in exchange for a mixup in the paperwork.
Sir William made his escape to the sound of horn blaring and Tidal Guards taking flight. He met back up with the group at Manse Languine, now all needing to lay low as outlaws.
