"The journal we found mentioned the cellar... I am still most curious to see what is there." Looking to his companions eagerly.

Vanden looks over at the blind man they rescued from the attic. "I don't believe he's in any shape to go into what may prove to be a perilous situation. Nor do I think he looks as if he will be safe in the streets alone, in his condition. Perhaps one of us should escort him to a place of safety, while the rest of us proceed?"
 

"We need to stay together. If our friend here needs to be taken to safety, they we should go together. Someone is about and he has proven stealthy enough to kill armed guardsmen, our only defense is to stay together so he can't take us one by one."
 


The group moves down the stairs together, the blind man weeping quietly as he's guided down, bumping against the railing and almost falling on the landing.

Arriving back in the main room of the Ten Bells, the wind and rain blowing in from the now-opened main door has made the floorboards slick and the room cold.

There is no obvious sign that the City Watch has been here, either from the main door or through the door to Coraithe's hovel.
 

Maugra tries her best to support and guide the blind man down the stairs. She'll indicate that the rest should head towards the cellar and that she will follow.

"I saw the woman... Coraithe I suppose. She still doesn't want us here." He sarcastically grins. "I think the bats are just squatters. I don't think there is anything in their to further our investigation. But feel free to look for yourself."

Garn lets Maugra take hold of the blind man but asks "What's he mean he saw the woman? And what are you expecting in the basement?"
 


Jossen looks at the man with pity, "Friend, you are safer here with us than going out by yourself. He is out there and is snapping at our flanks. If you go off alone you are likely to be attacked."
 

Vanden reluctantly agrees with Jossen. "Truly, it is safest for you to remain with us. And with your assistance, we can see that Amara's killer is brought to justice. Wouldn't you like to see that?"
