Jandrico Swift, as soon as they arrived, asked for news of Lady Roaringhorn and was told by Shanni that a wizard came in and whisked her away. After they had waited for a couple of hours, of course, she added with irritation.Jandrico at first was puzzled by this, but when the petite rogue added that Rahnee had not tried to resist and had mentioned something about family business, the innkeeper nodded knowingly. Jandrico explained that Rahnee’s brother Madrigal had once made an appearance at the inn, on "family business". The innkeeper described him as quite a character, with his flowing blue robes and a great moustache.Dermot thought he remembered the occurrence and Darrow confirmed the description matched that provided by the Watch. Jandrico, although demurring to speak of the Lady Rahnee’s business, noted that she had intimated having last left her family in Waterdeep on somewhat uncertain terms. Shanni found this at least somewhat reassuring.The innkeeper then took orders from the four adventurers, including a top-up for Dermot’s flask and an ale for Darrow; Aerikoth required nothing. Shanni had been talking about a bubble bath, but sighed and said she was not sure how long they would be there for, so settled for whatever Dermot was getting in his flask. After the ever-efficient Jandrico had met their needs, they retired upstairs, where once behind closed doors they discussed in detail how and when they wanted to hit Cormaeril Castle. While they talked, Shanni sorted and packed Rahnee’s leftover belongings, followed by her own, in preparation for departing the Gatereach.The consensus was to wait past midnight and enter the castle via the secret sewer entrance, which would give them the best chance for achieving surprise, as well as for Aerikoth to prepare his spells. Dermot summarized the plan thusly: wait for cover of night, just after midnight. Head to the Shore, get into the sewers, and try their luck at the way in they found down there. Look for signs of the Fire Knives and the Cormaeril family, and do what they can to hurt both, looking for any useful information on the way that might help finish the job. The Black Boot tavern in Market would be where they could rendezvous afterwards if they succeeded but needed to scatter; if they failed, they would try to get out of the sewers and head outside the city to take the road to Teziir.Dermot then raised the question of what they should do with the heads of the family, Tagreth Cormaeril and the others. Shanni asked if he meant that literally and the ranger nodded, saying he wished he had something better as an option than “eliminating” the threat, as Darrow put it. Dermot and Shanni agreed it would be helpful to look for something that would serve to bring down the House for good, by destroying their power.Dermot also brought up the matter of disguises and covering their tracks. Although Shanni was short on extra clothing, the idea of leaving behind at the scene some of their previously looted Night Mask equipment was approved, to help point the blame elsewhere. Dermot then volunteered to go to the Market and procure some extra clothing and dyes, so they could all prepare dark outfits for the coming night assault. Shanni and Darrow decided to go along as well.</blockquote>
