The dwarf then wandered outside for a short walk, to see if there was any unusual activity. He soon ran into Aerikoth, who had just teleported in, and the two decided to go back into the inn.After settling on a table, the adventurers overheard two thugs talking nearby, mentioning plans to knock over an abandoned building. After the apparent criminals had departed the premises, Darrow wondered if they were talking about the Hidden House. Aerikoth said he thought it more likely they would be headed for someplace in the Shore district. The wizard and the dwarf then spent some time reviewing how the assault on the castle had gone, among other topics. As they could raise neither Shanni nor Dermot, they decided to go to the Mercenaries Guild and present the results of the raid on Cormaeril Castle to Losifan Urdo.Some time later, after returning from the meeting at the guild, Darrow departed in search of supplies for his Tallwell brewery project. Shanni then walked into the Black Boot and saw Aerikoth standing at the end of the bar, nursing an ale. The petite rogue did a double take at the spectacle and queried if the mage were feeling unwell, having never seen him consume anything but water. The wizard corrected her, stating that he at times preferred to drink the red wine named after the city, but admitted that the libations at their current establishment were limited.The two adventurers moved to a small private meeting room at the end of the hall, which Darrow had paid for before leaving; Aerikoth left the ale behind. The room’s seating left much to be desired, despite the long, well-used and stained table in its center. The wizard therefore leaned his staff against the wall and stood with his arms folded into the sleeves of his robes, as Shanni closed the door and perched on the table.Aerikoth related that Losifan Urdo had been pleased with what was discovered within the Cormaeril compound. Shanni interjected that there were some new rumours flying around the city linking House Cormaeril to a bunch of assassins. The wizard noted that this was vague but accurate. The map they had found linking the Fire Knives assassins to a recent attempt on the Croamarkh was something Losifan was especially interested in; the Urdo noble commented that it would be more than enough for them to move on House Cormaeril. He also stated plainly that the adventurers’ absence over the next tenday would be opportune, since their actions were not officially sanctioned. That said, Losifan had reassured the adventurers that they would not be considered criminals.Aerikoth informed Shanni that he and Darrow had spoken of possible destinations to spend the next tenday, which had prompted Darrow’s current errand. Shanni did not disagree with the idea of laying low and inquired after Darrow’s plans for Tallwell. Before speaking of that, the wizard first mentioned Losifan’s belief that Castle Cormaeril would soon be available for purchase, given the disgrace of the noble family and its seizure by the city administration. Shanni half-jokingly responded that if the Ironhelm dwarves could advance her share of the dragon hoard, she might be in the market.Turning back towards discussing their next destination, along with Tallwell, Aerikoth mentioned that Starmantle would also be a possibility, along with Turnton and Teziir. Shanni thought Tallwell might not be so bad, especially given the presence of the Beast’s undiscovered hoard. Aerikoth also noted the past desire by party members, by Lady Roaringhorn most of all, to see that settlement changed for the better. As for Reddansyr, the wizard saw little to do there, other than spend time at the inn.</blockquote>
