[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7964760, member: 7015827"] Before they moved on to the Two Swords inn, where the company had stayed the previous time in Teziir, Rahnee asked Khalen if she were still opposed to notifying the Teziir authorities about the bandit attack. Khalen said that she preferred to wait and see if first the diviner would help. Darrow for his part thought that their “friend” in Westgate, Khair, might be able to shed some light on the tattooed men, given his connections and the likelihood that they were fencing at least some of their stolen goods in that city. Aerikoth, who had remained silent, then drew Rahnee aside for a private conversation. After all were ready, they wandered through the city to the Bayside district, where the Two Swords was located, continuing to discuss Khalen’s situation and how best to handle it. The innkeeper welcomed them back and mentioned that there were three rooms available, although he was somewhat taken aback when all of the adventurers said they wanted private lodging. After some negotiation, the group took the available rooms, Khalen uneasily agreeing to share one with Rahnee. As the others worked out their needs for the evening, to include bathing and laundry, Aerikoth decided to take a walk. Shortly after the wizard had departed, Dinendal made his way to the inn, reporting that he had seen no sign of their companion Jokull. As evening rolled around on Alturiak 12, Rahnee retired to her room with a cramped leg, suffered no doubt as a result of all the walking done over the previous days. Khalen for her part was eager to visit the flophouse in the Point district, where she believed she might pick up information on Nemar’s bandit gang. Dinendal expressed some doubts over leaving Rahnee behind in the inn, but Darrow and the others allayed his concerns. Aerikoth led them to the Point, where they were able to locate the flophouse, a building in none-too-good condition. A few thuggish types loitered in the large, dark common room, along with the man in charge of the place. Taking the direct approach, Khalen went right up to the man and asked if he had seen a man she was supposed to meet here called Nemar, describing his tattoo. When one of the thugs began making crude remarks about her, Darrow started returning the insults, clearly spoiling for a fight. As Dinendal covered his eyes, the “innkeeper” rebuked the thug, whom he called Corvey, for insulting possible paying guests. Khalen tried calming Darrow down, as the dwarf wanted to use his axe on either the patrons or the flophouse itself, then she reminded the innkeeper about her question. He made a show of pondering, glancing over to one of the thugs briefly before saying that he did not know the person nor recognized the tattoo. Khalen promised him a gold coin - nothing more personal, as he wanted - if he remembered more information. As he declined the offer, a thug departed the place. The four adventurers then took their leave, following the thug but then losing track of him outside of the flophouse.
