After stopping in to see Karr'Aashta's Investigations, Berrent heads down into the Cogs. As he descends lower and lower it becomes clear he doesn't belong. His clothes aren't extravagant but they aren't covered in patched holes from a life a physical labor. He's a little too clean and stands a little too straight and non-threateningly. He is, if you look closely enough, a little nervous.
He eventually finds the Rat's Market and begins looking around for a goblin selling garbage.
...
Later he returns to the Golden Horn. He goes straight to the bar and orders a shot that he quickly knocks back. After a couple of deep breaths he turns to whichever party members are present. "I'm glad you made it," he says. "Once everyone's here we can head out for the House Phiarlan enclave to talk to Beige." While they're waiting he starts talking about what he learned earlier in the day. "So it seems the owner of The Crystals of Denion magic emporium, up in Upper Tavick's Landing, lost his daughter. She's grown up, or at least grown up enough to go to parties on her own. And that's the problem, see. She went to a party last night and never came back. What with how busy the Watch must be after all the mayhem last night, Mr. Denion may be looking for help finding his daughter."
