[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7817356, member: 7015827"] Rahnee rejoined Brok-Tul, Marik, and Aerikoth at the guest house. Jokull had been delayed for a short while on the way back from the Blue Banner, telling the others he had stopped by the Market to purchase supplies. Rahnee reviewed the meeting with the Seneschal for those who were not present, remarking that she suspected the Bleths had investigated her background beforehand, which might have implications for Marik and Aerikoth. Marik frowned and rubbed his chin, while for his part Aerikoth seemed unconcerned. Rahnee then brought up the murder of Sembian official Senthur Signe. Aerikoth, with a slight smirk, told the others there were several stories going around about the murder. One rumor was that Senthur had been bedding the wife of a senior Night Mask member. Aerikoth considered more intriguing the rumor that the Cormyrians had killed Senthur, as he was notoriously anti-Cormyr. Aerikoth noted, with Rahnee's affirmation, that his body had been found in the Harbor Loop, the same district in which Thalavar Captain Yar's body had been discovered. Jokull, in response to a question from Brok-Tul, said that he knew no one from Cormyr in Westgate who would do such a thing, although the warrior admitted he actually knew few of his countrymen in the city.

Jokull quickly responded that they wouldn't, prompting Aerikoth to ask who, then, would benefit the most from hostilities between Cormyrians and Sembians in Westgate. At this point, a knock on the guest house door was heard and Janatha entered. The serving girl was stiff and appeared concerned, asking the group if they had heard about the murder of the Sembian representative. It turned out that a unit of the City Watch had arrived at the Gatereach Inn and asked to see the group for questioning related to the murder. They assured her they would go see the Watch and cooperate fully, and Janatha departed. After walking into the back room of the Gatereach, the party saw Jandrico and Janatha talking with the Watch Commander, who had three guards along with him.
