As Coren attempts to read magic on the page, he is interrupted by Brother Egil who enters the house to the surprise of all. Egil is shocked to find they've been squatting there and demands they leave. He also agrees to try to find out more about the books that Lucius donated to the temple.The group leaves to get a room at The Rusty Hook and finds that someone is watching them.

The next morning they are awoken by the town crier:"Let it be known that Commissioner Tillinghast hereby promises the reward of 25 gold crowns to any party with information leading to the arrest of Omar Al Kurry, scholar of Al Qadim, and his two bodyguards, an elf wench and a man answering to the description of [Coren], all under the charge of attempted arson and sedition."Captain Lydon has been named Grand Marshal of Swagfest.
