If you enter the textile house from outside the city, you will start at 0,4. Next to you is a well that your thief might be able to climb down. At the bottom is Restal, a member of the thieves’ guild, who offers you help with getting in and getting to the treasure. If his offer is accepted, he is as good as his word and will take you into the courtyard of the hobgoblin stronghold, avoiding the ambush that waits at the courtyard entrances. Once you have gotten in this way, going into any of the buildings off the courtyard might alert the hobgoblins to your presence, causing them to bum rush your party. Your best bet is to head straight through the secret door and take out the leader first. Once you have retrieved the sealed box that contains Cadorna’s treasure, don’t open it or you will break the seal. If you take it to Restal, he can duplicate the seal for half the treasure inside. Inside is platinum, gold, gems, some art objects (a ring, a jeweled dragon statuette, a jewel studded bowl, and a gold banded wand), and a pair of gauntlets of ogre power.
While in the Cadorna Textile house area, try to avoid the northern half of the compound. It is overrun with ghouls and giant insects that are very poisonous. When invading Grishnak’s temple, you will find a prisoner that you can rescue using the brass key you got from Grishnak’s body. He is a servant of Cadorna.
