The memories of the last attack and the loss of Jaron moves you to find accommodations at a different inn during your stay. You locate an out of the way inn a few terraces above the dock district. There Whisper uses one of her scrolls to identify the magical chain armor. Once the value of the items were assessed, you set out to locate an armorer willing to take them off your hands. An hour and some bartering later, you finish fencing your armor and purchasing a monocle. Whisper spends the rest of the evening sorting through and identifying the valuables. Johan, Seria, and Midian spend their time discussing what to do about island and how to mount an expedition. They eventually come to the conclusion that the costs involved would be beyond their means and decide to turn over what they know to House Tharask.
The next morning the group returns to meet with Creidan. You tell him about the waterlogged journal, mentioning that you needed to have it magically repaired and transcribed in order to read the contents (a truth, but leaving out when you had done this). Once you knew what was in the journal, you decided to return and discuss the grave implications. Creidan seems unhappy that the information was left out, but hides it well. He questions you further about the contents of the journal until he is satisfied nothing else about the original expedition has been left out. He agrees that there is a possibility that there may be other survivors, and even if there isn't, the House needs to know about this mining operation. He tells you that he is going to start to put together a follow up expedition, this one better prepared for hostilities. He tells you that he will contact you in a few days once he has begun the preparations.
