Around highsun, however, they suddenly heard some distant shouts and yells, apparently coming from the floor above them. Booted feet running were also heard, then all of the sounds stopped. As they wondered what was going on, Darrow declared that it sounded like a ruckus, the dwarf assuring them he had heard one before.The City Watch members on duty in the entry chamber began to look uneasy, so Darrow offered them a hand in busting some heads, if needed. The Watch clerk, after somewhat nervously stating he was sure everything was under control, asked him to just wait. Shortly thereafter, the City Watch shift commander arrived, accompanied by a watchman, and pointed at Aerikoth. He then asked the watchman if Aerikoth was the wizard in blue robes he had previously described. After a bit of squinting and appearing somewhat crestfallen, the watchman indicated that was not the case, mentioning that “the other one” was taller and had an enormous moustache. As Shanni inquired after the problem, using colorful language, the Watch shift commander just sighed.Dermot diplomatically offered to help, prompting the Watch shift commander to briefly introduce himself and mention that there had been an incident. He then went off to see if Watch Commander Meynn could be found. Shanni guessed that a wizard had escaped, or had come into the Tower and helped someone else escape, which led Darrow to wonder if it might not be Rahnee. Further speculation was cut short by the arrival of Meynn, who asked them to adjourn with him to an antechamber.The Watch Commander first offered his apologies for the delay in releasing Lady Roaringhorn, although he claimed that was beyond his control. After first carefully looking Aerikoth over, Meynn told them that a short while ago, a blue-robed mage had appeared in the room that Lady Roaringhorn was being hosted in. Despite the scrutiny, Aerikoth showed no reaction and just stared intently at Meynn. The Watch Commander then related how the guards outside had not noticed the mage's arrival until Rahnee called them over and politely explained that she had go on “family business”, after which she and her companion disappeared.Meynn explained that this had caused some consternation, as the guards at first thought the two had turned invisible and fled. The Watch Commander, although professing little knowledge of magic, believed that they were long gone by now. He also noted there had been some confusion among the Watch as to who was responsible, as the wizard's clothing was similar to that of Aerikoth’s. Shanni, looking as irritable as ever, folded her arms and questioned if there was any word other than “family business” to explain Rahnee’s disappearance. Meynn said he was afraid that it was all they knew, or would be likely to know. The Watch Commander indicated that he would have to sort out the mess on his end, but the others were free to leave the Tower whenever they wished.</blockquote>
