Thurl seems taken aback by JV's nobility, initially embarrassed by the fact that JV hasn't been treated with difference. "I should have you seated with the knights." He says, but doesn't press the issue when JV turns down special treatment. As JV moves about the tables, he picks up chatter about various raids, though all seem quite small, with knights and squires boasting about their own exploits. There are a few hints in the conversations about factions that the Feathergale Society is fighting against or with, though it proves impossible to chase up any more information.
Erol spoke to Thurl about the trouble in Red Larch, "I had heard there were some trouble makers in the town." Thurl replies to Erols news. "The town elders are all locked up I believe. It sounds suspiciously like a coup to me. We don't have the resources here to help directly, but I would offer whatever help we can - if we could determine exactly what is going on. I wouldn't want to inadvertently help some rebellious rabble."
Thurl's Chamber
Duran, in spider form, easily crawls under the door to the room. Inside he can see a bed, fireplace, a closet and a desk. Uniquely for the Spire he also has a tapestry on the wall.
The desk has a drawer on it with a lock. On the desk is a writing case and a scroll case. Duran's spider body can find access into the drawer easily enough, but it is too dark to see anything. The chest has two padlocks on it and is too well made to allow a spider to crawl in.
