Back at the Gatereach guest house, Brok-Tul took a look at the scratches the owlbear had inflicted on Jokull, despite the warrior’s protests that he was fine. Jokull asked Rahnee how their chat went with Jamal. Rahnee told him that Jamal had been warned, although she was unsure how seriously Jamal had taken it; Brok-Tul interjected that he thought she had heard what they had needed to say. Jokull calmly asked the others to keep an eye on her, and the Cormaerils, as he was leaving the following day.
For Brok-Tul, it took a few moments for Jokull’s words to sink in, but Rahnee immediately recognized that Jokull must have received the information he had wanted from Stanslav at the Quivering Thumb. Jokull confirmed that indeed he had, and therefore needed to depart for the city of Marsember in Cormyr, where he had business. Aerikoth, intrigued, asked Jokull to explain further, while Rahnee asked if Jokull needed them to come with him. Jokull shook his head at Rahnee’s question, saying that he needed the others to be waiting for him in Westgate when he returned. To Aerikoth, Jokull explained that it was complicated, but that one of his enemies had gone to Marsember, so Jokull needed to follow him.
Rahnee asked who the man was, in order for her to know whom to kill if Jokull did not come back. Jokull informed her that his enemy was Wielund Cormaeril, also known as “The Knife.” Rahnee, smiling, asked Jokull to take care of business as soon as he could, so that he could be back in time for her and Brok-Tul’s wedding.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Rahnee called out to see who was there, discovering that it was Jandrico Swift, who apologized for disturbing them. He informed them that a traveler had just arrived at the inn, asking to speak to the group, and inquired if he should tell the newcomer that they were available. The companions looked at each other as Jandrico shared the news that the visitor was a dwarf from Clan Ironhelm. At this point both Rahnee’s and Brok-Tul’s eyes widened and she said that they would see him immediately.
Jandrico departed to inform the dwarf that they would welcome him in the guest house. Their visitor arrived a few minutes later and introduced himself as Dwyvar Ironhelm, saying that he brought news for them. Greetings and introductions were made as the dwarf seated himself at the table. Brok-Tul offered a stout to their guest, who gruffly declined it, saying that they had to speak of serious matters.
Dwyvar, after sizing up each of the companions, informed them that he had traveled from the Giant's Run mountains to bring them tidings from his clan elders. Dwyvar indicated that he had heard of all of them, recalling as well that Aerikoth had not made the journey to his clan. Rahnee commented that Aerikoth had been present, however, when the group had discovered the remains of Dwyvar’s kinsmen. Dwyvar acknowledged this, stating that he had been part of the dwarfmoot that had met after the others had brought word of their dead kinsmen and Ashnakzeroth to his clan.
