Aerikoth indicated he would depart for the evening, leaving the remaining inn chamber to Darrow and Dermot. In response to a question from Darrow, the wizard briefly reviewed for them how matters stood in Westgate, including the fact that no one appeared to be searching for them after the Castle Cormaeril assault. The castle itself was under control of the Watch, as were the Cormaeril nobles, who were being held due to the information about an assassination attempt on the Croamarkh previously delivered by the adventurers to Losifan Urdo. Aerikoth’s two companions wished him safe travels and Darrow called for another pint before going to bed.The night passed and Ches 26 dawned. Shanni, Darrow and Dermot gathered in the common room of Kablin’s Inn, having to be content with porridge in the morning. The innkeeper had mentioned hearing some strange noises in the night, but Shanni eventually determined that it was just Darrow’s snores. After finishing their simple meal, they headed over to the barracks to see about Tagreth.Guard Captain Calen saluted the three as they entered, ordering one of his men to watch the bound prisoner while he spoke with their guests. A few moments later, Aerikoth joined them, brushing the rain from his robes. The wizard confirmed that he had seen Watch Commander Meynn in Westgate, who had found the information on Tagreth’s capture valuable. Aerikoth noted that Meynn planned to speak about it with House Thalavar, which was an ally of Baron Pahar.The wizard indicated to Calen that he was ready and the guard captain in response barked an order and jerked the rope binding Tagreth, forcing the prisoner to his feet. Shanni begged off going to Turnton along with them, somewhat redundantly, as Aerikoth was only capable of bringing along two others with him via teleport. Calen became slightly confused when Aerikoth asked him where they should appear, but then understood the wizard meant where exactly in Turnton.After some thought, the guard captain chose the Temple of Helm, saying it would be fitting; Dermot and Shanni agreed. Aerikoth said he had spent a significant time within Turnton and suggested that a safer place would be just outside the temple, as the wizard had found the devoted of Helm fairly unforgiving with his magical skill used in such a way. Calen nodded at that and then asked what he needed to do. Aerikoth explained that he needed to be in physical contact with Lord Tagreth, or he would not be transported with them. Calen did not find this a problem, taking a firm grip of Tagreth's bound arms, then waiting with a deep breath as the wizard placed a hand on his arm in turn, speaking an intense word of power.</blockquote>
