The second adventure

 More scans of notebook pages.  This was back when I spent less time on the computer and more time just writing stuff down with a pen. I tried to make the scans as legible as possible, but, well, my handwriting is my handwriting.
In this adventure, the party was hired by a merchant to retrieve a valuable book that was stolen.  They traveled across the harbor to Fairdock, a wretched hive of scum and villainy situated on the harbor at the edge of the ruins of Korring.
They retrieved the book; I have a dim recollection of Uland and Darg questioning the thief, Murgan, while the rest of the party was absent. Afterwards, they cut his throat and dropped him in the harbor.
I also recall the after they retrieved the book, they were waiting on the boat to leave, and there were some tense moments as Gindal and his pirate crew tried to maneuver close enough to launch and attack on them to get the book for themselves. However, the PCs were too alert and the pirates never felt like they had the strength (or a moment of surprise) to take them on, and the situation resolved itself without a fight as the pirates withdrew.

Edited to add:

I also found this in my notebook. Trying to translate notes from 12 years ago: Murgan was dropped into negative hit points by subdual damage.  Maximillian either cast a sleep spell on someone, or fell victim to someone else’s sleep spell. Darg and Uland murdered Murgan and dumped his body behind the inn. Arnath and his cronies, who had initiatives of 6 and 7 respectively, left by the inn’s back door at some point.  Also, something happened during 3rd watch—probably the pirates’ attempt to approach and attack.
