Aerikoth suggested the possibility of approaching the Watch with what they knew about Istvan's warning the night of Senthur's murder, terming it an option to put pressure on the Cormaerils. Brok-Tul was doubtful, believing that the warning could rebound against the party. Rahnee thought it could be done, if they claimed they were simply trying to get the 1,000 gold reward for information on the Sembian's death and had done some investigating. However, Rahnee thought it best to see if there was any word from the Thalavar agent prior to going to the Watch. Aerikoth declined to go with the others to the secret message site in the stormy, cold weather, believing it unlikely the Thalavars would be so efficient as to already have responded.Jokull, after accompanying Rahnee and Brok-Tul to the message site, returned to the guest house and informed Aerikoth that there in fact had been a message, asking to meet at the Old Beard inn in the East Gate district. Aerikoth shortly afterward departed, leaving Jokull resting in his room. Meanwhile, Brok-Tul and Rahnee pursued their own business in the city, before returning to the guest house.Marik walked in shortly before sundown, shrugging off rain from his cloak and grinning about how much fun he had had that afternoon. He was informed by Rahnee that he would have to go back out again, to accompany the others to the Old Beard. The note from the Thalavar agent had said to "listen for the shadows," which Rahnee interpreted as a reference to the group's secret name used with Iono, "Helm's Shadows." Brok-Tul again brought up the temple of Mask, saying he believed that once they could somehow get in there and figure out what was going on, they could solve half of their troubles. On edge with anticipation, the party - minus Aerikoth - made their way across the city to the Old Beard. On the way, they speculated about Baron Pahar's strange need for evil magical objects and, as often occurred during Rahnee's conversations, there was a diversion into how she treated her numerous brothers. Marik and Jokull went through the door of the tavern first, with Rahnee and Brok-Tul entering shortly afterward and sitting at a different table. Several mercenaries and sailors were present, some of whom were talking about how best to claim the large reward offered by the Sembians. The sailors - admittedly, rather drunk - thought that the murderer likely would have fled by ship and planned to try and figure out which captain had taken him aboard.</blockquote>
