Brok-Tul, Rahnee, and Jokull argued with Aerikoth in favor of working with Marise and seeing if Seriawan could lead them to Rancel. Aerikoth pointed out that the purchase of the Hidden House had been completely legal and that, simply because it went against their personal interests, the others...

Marise and Seriawan Later that night, Rahnee and Veran returned to Queron’s house. Shortly after they arrived, Aerikoth excused himself and went upstairs to turn in for the night, while Rahnee, Veran, and Brok-Tul had a private conference in the dining room before going to bed. Jokull for his...

At Aerikoth’s offer, Rahnee was enchanted with a spell of invisibility to allow her to more securely scout the bandit camp.
