[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7858050, member: 7015827"] Aerikoth returned to the guest house to find Rahnee, Jokull, and Veran there with Tabor, the boy used by the mage Gondeth as a messenger. Tabor had brought Gondeth's notes on the Thayan presence in Westgate, cheerily handing them over to Aerikoth, who gave him a gold coin for his trouble. Once Tabor had left, the group used the common room to spread out the notes and examine them. They were of some help, confirming that a Red Wizard had recently arrived in the city and was working with one of the noble houses. Gondeth had ruled out House Thalavar, Malavhan, and Guldar. He suspected one or both of the Cormyrian exile houses - Bleth and Cormaeril - of being receptive to the Thayans, but was not sure if they had in fact been contacted. The Red Wizard, according to Gondeth, was using intermediaries to reach others within the city, ones who kept a very low profile. Finally, the few senior wizards of Westgate had failed to unite against the Red Wizard threat, although Gondeth continued to ask for their aid. [I](The ways of the Westgate wizards are not transparent, as they appear to lack a wizards' council or similar organization to regulate magical conduct in the city.
