Jandrico had thought they would need it, since the City Watch had arrived and wanted to speak with them. A nervous Janatha explained that the Watch had arrived an hour previously, but Jandrico insisted on his guests having a decent breakfast before being disturbed. Janatha knew nothing more, other than having overheard one of the Watch mention "the Sembian," and departed with a curtsey. Rahnee speculated about the possible threat to the party from someone impersonating the Watch, while pouring the tea into a potted plant – she clearly being suspicious of everything, at this point. The party secreted some of the food on their persons, for future use, and warily exited the guest house.Outside, they found a squad of the Watch grumbling at having to be out in the rain. The party was informed that Commander Meynn was inside and wanted to speak with them; they went into the Gatereach and found him and several other Watch members with Jandrico Swift. After a series of somewhat forced pleasantries, Meynn asked Rahnee if they could meet privately in the guest house. Rahnee acquiesced, and Meynn and two of his Watch guards entered, Meynn leaving them in the hallway while he sat down in the meeting area with the group. Meynn commented first on Aerikoth's absence, which Brok- Tul blamed on him having to complete some sort of mage test in town. Rahnee commented that she thought Aerikoth actually had a woman on the side, which produced roars of laughter from Brok-Tul and wry comments from Marik, while leaving Meynn puzzled at the reaction.Meynn then got down to business, stating that the Watch had discovered another Sembian's body, found two days previously in an alley near the Black Boot in the River Gate district. Marik commented that he knew the place - horrible ale, worse clientele. Meynn commented that the Sembian appeared to be in the "thug" profession and that apparently he had also had a partner, who was missing. Meynn brusquely asked the party if they knew anything about the murder, which produced protestations of their innocence. Brok-Tul pointed out that Cormyrians, for example Jokull, had been getting unfair suspicions pointed their way, citing the incident the previous night with the drunk. Meynn said he had little faith in views held by drunken rabble, but did find it interesting that the party included a Cormyrian and that Aerikoth had been observed dealing with the Sembians at the Quivering Thumb the night of Senthur Signe's murder.Rahnee countered by saying that they had been planning to go to the Watch that day to share the results of some investigations of theirs, prompted by the 1,000 gold reward. A comment from Marik prompted Meynn to note that Marik had a Cormyrian accent, and Meynn was further intrigued by Marik's admission that he had previously done business in Sembia. Rahnee and Meynn bantered a bit about Rahnee's reasons for being in Westgate, provoking an amused smile from the Watch commander. Observing that the group had already breakfasted, he politely requested that they vacate the guest house for the remainder of the day, while his men turned the place inside out. Some minor protestations followed and Rahnee made a point of telling Meynn that her silk dresses should not be damaged. As she was leaving, Rahnee told Meynn that Istvan Cormaeril had been warned away from the Quivering Thumb the night of the Sembian's death, breezily ignoring Meynn's half-veiled threat of hauling her off to the Tower for more questioning.</blockquote>
