Dermot assured him that was actually a thing that had happened. The dwarf nodded, then wondered if they would be having rabbit for breakfast, as they headed downstairs.They found Kablin mopping the floor, which was still slick with rabbit blood. He nonetheless greeted them cheerily enough, as Dermot apologized again for the mess. The innkeeper mentioned that Shanni had been up earlier, taking some bread and heading out quickly. Although he was evidently curious about what she was up to, Kablin did not ask further about it, saying he would fetch them some brown bread for breakfast.Shortly afterward Aerikoth joined them, apparently having finished studying his spells. Darrow and Dermot discussed with the wizard plans to return to Westgate, which could be done either on foot or via teleportation. Darrow thought they had a good chance at finding work at the Mercenaries Guild, even without Losifan Urdo there. Aerikoth in turn speculated that Losifan might wish their assistance in any case, noting that their efforts against Cormaeril had not been sanctioned by the guild.As the other three were finishing their meal, Shanni arrived back at the inn, complaining that it was raining – again. Darrow tweaked her about searching for treasure, but in response the petite rogue tossed a note down on the table for them to read. It said for them to come pay their respects at the Winnfall farm and they would talk, but had no signature. Darrow said it seemed like they had a date, while Shanni pointed out that it may mean for them to meet at the grave, rather than the farmhouse.Aerikoth then asked the obvious question, where she had obtained the note, and was told in the hollowed-out tree out by the logging camp. The wizard observed that he was unaware of such a tree, then asked when she had found the note. Drawing out the explanation further, the petite rogue innocently stated that she had just gone for a walk the previous day and dropped it off, then checked back that morning. The wizard further questioned, staring at her, what she had dropped off, being told in return that it had been a note and a gold coin, suggesting to whomever was using the hollow that they should meet. The wizard found this intriguing, but did not inquire further. (Here we have an apparently deliberate reveal of Shanni's extracurricular activities in Tallwell away from her companions. I cannot believe that she simply randomly put a note and a coin into a local tree hollow, in the hopes that someone - who? - would respond. What is her game? --C)</blockquote>
