Clues where also discovered that pinpointed Robins Base of operations, a nearby abandoned mine. Inside group 7 found and dispatched another Orc as well as Robin. All lost goods was retrieved from the hideout. However a large amount of the goods found where illicit items that had to be confiscated by the Guard. Investigations into trading companies by group 7 led to no arrests. Cityguard investigation is to be launched. Traderoute once again open.
