The Marterus Thieves' Guild is a criminal organisation operating in the Cloudcombe district of Marterus, described in the campaign chronicle as the only competitor of the Scales of Garten. The tavern known as the Rat and the King served as the party's point of contact with the guild.
Elion Ashhar-Rah'oul and Skaf from Yonder first tried and failed to infiltrate the guild. The Heroes of Eastport later returned posing as the Foreshore Armadillos, supposedly led by Captain Armadillo, and secured the loan of two guild members to scout the Scales of Garten warehouse.
The party arranged to meet the scouts at the Bleating Lake at eight in the evening. The scouts found no alternative entrance, and the Heroes abandoned the proposed break-in in favour of an arranged meeting. By the time of that meeting, the scouts were drunk and watching the doors.
